Hi,
When I went to snag my house in a new development some weeks ago I discovered that it was up to me to get the ESB and Gas connected, I thought this was unusual at the time but went ahead and set it up, ESB promised to be out the next week to do it. Of course stupidly I trusted them :->
I submitted my snag list and now the developer tells me the house is ready for final inspection (3 weeks later), I asked though if the ESB and Gas had been connected because I wanted the surveyor to be able to check the heating and electrics as he hadn't been able to so during the first snag. I was told that they hadn't been connected yet so I said I would get back onto ESB etc and delay final inspection until the utilities were available. However the foreman couldn't see why I would want to delay the final inspection and that their responsibility was to supply the house and it was mine to get the utilities connected. Should I delay the final inspection until after they are connected? I'm afraid if I don't there will be problems that will only come to light after I move in and will be difficult to get sorted out. What do you think?
