New Houses - The Paddocks
We are due to be complete on June 30th but that looks pretty unlikely, the corner house 17 was due on May 26th and that’s not finished either so I’m guessing there’s a delay for everyone.

Andy messaged us that the house was ready for snagging and my wife and I took the afternoon off only to realise, it was no where near ready for snagging:
Appliances not installed
Water not connected
Garden not made
Front poarch not complete
What was most disspointing: we previously agreed over the phone that the skirting isnt fixed but loosely attached. But the skirting was fixed and he said that he cannot do the handover without having it fixed.

That doesn’t sound ideal. Did he say when he’d have the items fixed for you? I take it kitchen, wardrobes etc was in place?arnebanane wrote: ↑21 Jun 2021, 11:28 Andy messaged us that the house was ready for snagging and my wife and I took the afternoon off only to realise, it was no where near ready for snagging:

Yeah kitchen was installed and wardrobes also in. He said that they would get the water this week but he has been saying that for weeks now...
Hi all, just to update everyone - We were told our completion date was the 23rd June (today) but I contacted the foreman today and he informed me that the completion date for our house is now moved to 9th August. What's most disappointing is the lack of communication from their end.

Just wondering how everything is coming along and if anyone has been given any new move in dates.
Just empathising fustration to be enquiring and given past dates.
Kind regards.

Hey,
We were given a 6 week delay, but again I’d imagine that’s finger in the air stuff. Not sure if contacting Irish water would help might be worth a shot though, from what they say on the website they will only deal with the builder.

Hi future neighbours
I was wondering if you can assist me with the waste collection service in the Paddocks.
Who is currently the provider there?
Many thanks in advance

Believe it's Panda so everything gets collected same day
It is Panda, yes. Would be great if everyone went for Panda too so there's only one collection truck per bin. I lived in an estate where there were around 3 and it was a real pain. I checked prices on moving in and they're all the same really. Also Panda do a bin cleaning service too, which is good.

Great to have same day collection 1 bin lorry alright.. https://www.mywaste.ie/ good site for explaining what goes where in Ireland, may be helpful, recycling list also on Panda's own site I believe..
Looking at the cable boxes not sure why they are placed at the front doors of the semi-Ds on phsse2.. Wasn't done like this for phase 1. Can understand may need to be at door for terraced house..
Also hope the greenery and planters for driveways will be nicely inserted.. Just hope things not being downgraded.. We are waiting so long.. Good to see barrier on phase 2 broken and at least 1 or two in! Best wishes for settling in!!

I also noticed the location of the cable boxes and had the same thought (inevitable for mid-terraced houses but why semi-d ?!). It's a bit of an eyesore alright , perhaps more so because I didn't expect it to be there... but what can we doDonabatian wrote: ↑12 Aug 2021, 07:51 Great to have same day collection 1 bin lorry alright.. https://www.mywaste.ie/ good site for explaining what goes where in Ireland, may be helpful, recycling list also on Panda's own site I believe..

To be honest, at this stage I just hope the completion date is not pushed back again.. can't wait to finally move in.

Hi, Just wondering what everyone thinks of the driveways in phase 2. They have no divides in between (which is very annoying and usual) and are they ok to fit 2 cars?
Should we get together and ask builder to rectify this?
Thanks in advance

I am looking to have a house alarm installed and would like to get some recommendations if possible! Preferably no or little monthly charge for self-monitoring option..
I have noticed quite a few houses in Phase 1 got their alarm from Ian Kerrigan (the electrician on site I presume)—is it any good?!
