hi guys, firstly congrats to all who have been offered. I take it that you all have been in with cork county council for an interview at some stage.

secondly....

Do you know if these interviews are the final step before being offered?

Did you need to ring the office much to "help along the process"?

I am on the waiting list nearly 2 years and i have an 8yr old son.
I have been mortgage approved in principle for 210,000

I would be grateful for any replies, thanks.

Hi Cumann
I got called for interview last November for different area and did not get it, but found out about last week I got offered a house in Heron's Wood.
I did ring council weekly to find out if there were any updates. Although they didn't give much away they seemed to us by name when we rang. I was on list for about just over 2 years.
Hope this is of help.

Hopefully 2-3 months? What would ye all think?
I wonder when the letters will issue?
Do we view the houses first?

i too think it'll be a few months. as far as i know we view the houses first, then if we want to accept them, they issue the letters. did the council give you a date to view your house? i'm going on thursday, could have went on wednesday but couldn't get off work.

Yeah I'm going on Wednesday....Just on my lunch can take a longer one if I have to.....So the letters should be the following week then I hope......
With that letter then we can go to the banks also is it?

Thanks for all replies,

Its a hard old process is this waiting game! I cant imagine how good it feels to have finally been offered. Congrats to everyone. My interview took place well before christmas and then i was asked would i prefer douglas (donnybrook) or carrigaline ( herrons wood). Everytime i ring for an update they say " we should have the keys in 6 or 7 weeks time". I know they're prob up the walls so i should be patient and remain hopefull that im still in with a shout. After all a positive mind is a great tool! Again congrats to all who have been offered. It is a lovely estate.
