Interesting idea - let the investigating begin

It’s a dirt mark but not our exact house (same house type used to measure up) and yes they are lightly tacked in to allow for easy removal & refitting when flooring is in which suits us a beading trim is awful looking.

Apologies NP, I’m sure it is finished on blocks. My post might have suggested otherwise.

Hi all, After various delays with Irish Water & ESB we finally got to look at the house last week. Very happy overall except for a few minor things that weren’t to our taste (some can be modified by ourselves). One thing that we certainly didn’t like was the fact every window internally came...

Thanks all, some good advice there and I think taking our time is the way to go. Maybe we're just a bit excited in our new home and a bit too keen to have everything in place. I might just set a target date of Christmas to have most things the way we want them rather than a month after move in...

This is exactly as I said & thought but it is apparently company policy to not give the dimensions out until snag day. This has been confirmed for us on two separate occasions which is creating some of the lead time issues. EDIT: The dims are not offered out as the builder can at any time make...

We'll do this now thanks.

Good morning all, Bought a house off the plans and it is due to be completed in June with handover late June. Based on the fact that nothing will be in the house apart from the basic fitout I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or helpful tips on anything I could be doing 8-10 weeks in...

Cheque arrived as per what I was told last week. Postie got a tip too on her way out of the estate!!!! She looked very bemused :)

Just off the phone now where manager called me back - payment instruction form was received and they have put a deadline (i know) to get all cheques posted by Friday, hopefully soon. I was told to expect it early next week. Shambles I know but he said there was a backlog of cheques required to...

Well well well......... I closed my mortgage 18 months ago so didn’t get a write down (just a cheque settlement) which has been accepted. No idea when it will land but just under €50k for me. Thanks to all & everyone who had anything to do with this. A great victory but one that leaves a...

From my boards.ie post...... Hi, I'm in exactly the same boat and feeling rather hard done by. I have always given my all for my two kids and feel like this is a kick in the teeth for any Father who is making a serious effort to do what's right. My kids are 4 & 18. My youngest stays...

Gents, I've read all the previous posts which are quite detailed in fairness but with all those details I got lost halfway through unfortunately. I'm not even sure whether there is an answer to the OP's question but from my point of view I didn't get a clear definition although I'm sure I...

Q16: In case of conflict or feared abduction can one parent take a child abroad without the consent of the other? A16: No. If a parent fears the other parent may try to remove a child from the jurisdiction without consent s/he may apply to the Circuit or District Court under Section 11 of the...

It certainly is a real concern based upon me never willing to take a risk on calling her bluff on a matter of this seriousness. Judicial seperation - I assume this is just an official version of what myself and my ex were doing day to day in relation to maintenance/mortgage/kids etc...

Hi all, Firstly i have spent over an hour looking for a similar post / thread but have not found one specific enough to avoid posting and possibly wasting your time so my apologies if I have missed a thread that would answer my question. I'm seperated from my wife (based on me being 95% sure...

Update...... When all things were considered I decided to cancel all plans to buy my wife out............. In fairness the bank would not have been keen to do so unless I involved my father and the more I thought about it, the more I was not prepared to risk my fathers investment and / or...

Thanks for the kind words Paddy;) Appreciate it.

That is a possibilty but I have many things on my side also to suggest the kids would be better off with me. Either way it's not an avenue either of us want to explore. I dont know what figures you require to see if its possible to have two family homes. I can afford the mortgage on my own (You...

Totally agree with what you're saying but again there has to be some common sense from the bank themselves - if I can't get an outcome that suits myself & them (paying the mortgage as agreed with no arrears having taken place) I will walk away & they will have the definite knowledge that they...
