Good morning, we are in the same boat. Found this forum googling homebond delays. The EA told us is was delayed because someone was out sick, the poor person must be dead at this stage, they then said delay was with hombond backlog, homebond said no backlog and can't comment because of data privacy, we contacted the developer directly who then blamed a working relationship issue with hombond and not to tell anyone cause it would add to delays. All absolute nonsense in a housing crisis. We contacted local government after three and a half months waiting and the reply was we will have the cert by the end of the week! 3 weeks ago. Homebond said they have gone back to check drainage in the back gardens 2 weeks ago. We signed the contract in July, It's exhausting but very typical Ireland that one organisation (Homebond) can hold up a new development for this long.It didn't even occur to me to test the heating to be honest as I assumed that it would all be part of a guarantee. Hopefully this doesn't prove naive of me. Our snag was mostly just small things also so we weren't too worried. They do appear to be well built homes. We're just very excited to get moved in now
