We are in in Beresford less than a year ,does anyone know if there is a one year warranty with O Hora builders.
Previously I thought there was but dont see it in the pack provided.

Anyone else have a problem with kitchen faucet? any suggestions for fixing ?.

- what’s the build quality like? - Great build quality, house is still standing after 7 years. No issues at all.
- sound proofing between semi d? - Good overall, can't hear the neighbour's TV if that's what you mean.
- % allocated social? - No idea and don't care - neighbour's social status or income doesn't concern me. We all just be neighbourly!
- plan to occupy, but should things change, what do they rent for? - €1,400-€1,800 - depends on bedrooms.
- decent internet provider? Virgin, EIR, Vodafone etc.

Many thanks

I'm buying an house in Beresford and expected to have the house ready September/October. Starting looking for some of next steps and did find this forum/reviews and comments really useful.

Was looking if the current residents could provide some feed-back/comments/help on:

(1) Attics conversions (Hora recommended Aboutspace.ie) - Some find them expensive but they do the majority of conversions. Would recommend ringing round suppliers to get a cost that fits your budget
(2) Floor (we will put wooden floor all house/rooms - Hora recommended John Gouldbury) - We did our own but John again does a lot of the houses but again you should ring around for costs to fit your budget
(3) Alarms - what people have being installing and recommend for the area. - Each to their own here, wide selection in the estate, depends on what you are looking for
(4) Broadband best speed and performance to be recommended for the area(Hora mention that Virgin Media has been cabled through the development) - Only Virgin available for the first year, their bundles go up to 1GB download speeds, very reliable so far
(5) Electricity and heating - does the Air to water Heat pumps works well and the houses well insulate and warm?. Hora mention that expected running cost including all electrical appliances of about €100 per month (heat, hot water, cooking, light, tv’s etc). Is this a realistic cost? - Houses are extremely well insulated and our bills are currently coming in at under €100 per month BUT it depends on what you are doing, this is only a guide, others do have more expensive bills due to usage i.e. using driers, having heating turned up

Thanks for any comments in advance, hope to meet some of you near future. Any other advise or recommendation , more than welcome to share. Also notice there's a facebook and whatapps group. Would be great if can be added to the group and participate. - Please apply to be added to both, the Administrators of these groups will sort you out

Cheers and Thanks Vitor

I was wondering if any of you used your BER cert number and MRPN to look up your BER on the SEAI website??
I have tried it on mine and the BER can't be found - queried it with SEAI but have had no response.
Has anyone any knowledge of who the BER assessor was?

Thanks!
