Hi Suzy, from what I can gather, they are meant to start allocating in around 6 weeks or so, but knowing the council this will obviously take longer. So the interviews will have to start taking place in the coming weeks. And as far as I know, they want to give out all the houses in Ballincollig together. Where are you hoping to get one, or do you not mind too much?
but wasn that the point of sending people to the banks? they are the ones lending the money so therefore should be the ones assesing your ability to pay the mortgage.

Hi Chicken1,Did anybody know the cost for a 3 bedrooms in ballincollig.I was approved 190,000 and i am kind of worried if this will be enough for a 3bedrooms.
Hi Chicken1,
All I know with regards to prices is what they put on the letters. The cheapest seems to be Greenfields, a 3 bed is 210k. I got approved for 195k, and my savings would make up the difference, so I am really hoping to get approved for one of these houses. Highfields are as expensive as 240k, and Old Quarter 230k, neither of these could I afford. They are being very vague about everything in the council, like when the interviews are starting, exactly hou much are the houses, when will we even know if we are getting one!! How many points did you get? I got 155, and was told the highest for Ballincollig is 165, so hopefully Ill be ok there.
Hi dhlanjohn,
I got 150 point but i do not know if that will help.Do you know how many houses they are given out in ballincollig in all.What saving do one really need.
Hi folks,
I got a letter asking me to go and get an Approval in Principal for Ardfield which I got and sent it in. Did anyone else hear anything yet from the county hall.. also I must have had expressed an interest with the AH South Cork and got another letter from them to get an approval in principal for Carrigtowhill. Anyone else get a similar letter. I originally applied for Ballincollig and Carrigaline and havent heard anything about those houses. Did the letters go out to people to get an approval in principal for Greenfields? Spoke to one of the girls in the council a few weeks ago and she told me Castletreasure will be released in the new year (probably Nov 2008 the way they operate)...
Hi Jasonia,the interview is for douglas? does anyone know of anyone who has been called for interview. i thought the interviews originally were to assess affordability, so dont know why they are doing them now that they have sent people to banks for pre approval. doesnt that prove affordability?
Oh no, really. What were they saying about them, I missed it!!Hi Dylanjohn,
One of the local councillors said that they write out about the interview but I know people who have gotten ah before and it was phone calls they got. I am the same checking my phone and the post. They were talking about greenfields on 96fm earlier and it has really turned me off them!
Hi, i got a letter of aproval also, and got the list for the carrigtwohill houses but its a bit too far away. i was hoping to go with the shared ownership scheme, anyone else hear if it was done away with?
Hi Jasonia,
Just wondering when your interview is for, and can you let me know what they asked etc, if you get a chance. Also, did they contact you by phone, or post to ask you to go into them? I find myself watching the post every morning in case there is something there from them!!
