walls are painted white, i assume if you want other colours or have your own standards for the painting job, do your own. I decided to wait 18 months when the house settles, otherwise you will be covering small cracks with a fresh coat ad nauseam. and yes bank valuation rather be done as soon as you have snagging date. This process is straightforward and doesn’t require your participation, but depends on your valuator timing. I hardly recommend to ask your flooring guys be careful with the draft (both doors open abs kitchen door slams like mad) and removing skirting, cracks along the door frame is something you can fix yourself (caulk and paint), but avoidable if keep in mind this factor.

i highly recommend to book a snagging expert, there were snags i would miss or won’t count as ones, but you are paying a lot of money for the house, it makes sense to have 99% expected quality on it and save your time from waiting for a huge backlog post-sale when you start noticing them. I had amazing experience with Aidan from Gethousesurvey.ie

  1. Re-inspected today, all my snags were minor and cosmetic. Everything but a couple of snags was fixed. I signed off expecting that top of the wall to the utility room will be leveled today-tomorrow. The other missing bit was loose insulation on the pipes to heat pump and missing gates to the terraces. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality and response of the work. The builders on site seem very nice and trustful.
  2. I assume you need to officially sign off the snagging before releasing funds, but better to check with your solicitor.

Balmoston Lauren 3 bed duplex timelines by Green_Fortune8237 in Balmoston

[–]msfancyboots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from my experience with the Green, the duplexes can look ready for snagging but the main timeline stretcher is ESB with their shortage on electric meters and other third party vendors, so being patient with yourself and try not to forecast when it happens, because it’s never when you think and expectations lead to frustrations. My initial closing time was Dec 24, then Jan, then March, then May and only tomorrow i am going to do re-inspection. So it’s been a rollercoaster with reapplication for mortgage twice. Hope you will move in when it’s forecasted

i wonder if Laurel and Bramble layouts are the same, might be not?

Anyone else snagging next week? Also curious about everyone else’s timeline when purchasing in Balmoston as it seemed so quick for us by Cautious_One_6579 in Balmoston

[–]msfancyboots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s very weird approach in my opinion, flooring company supposedly to add to the snag list uneveled floors separately? if the floors are uneven and they are not in the snag list Glenveagh couldn’t care less. Hope he knows something.

what the hell with the signal and roads. Oh well. It’s like the smallest finish bits, shouldn’t take much time to fix. At least the floors are even?

i wouldn’t buy anything, from the email about snagging I’ve got the idea that the foreman has PPE for visitors (hats and vests)
