Just FYI, the OP is based in the UK.to the OP:
Why did you get a warning letter?
There are literally hundreds of houses up here that have been up for a few years and aren't painted.
Is it a requirement of building a house?
So an Irish council has issued you with a letter instructing you to paint the house? Which local authority is this?just to clarify, the house is in Ireland but I live in London. If I owned this size of house in London then i would be a multi millionaire and a very happy person indeed !
Maybe the council will say that perhaps you should have built a not-so-large house, say 5 double-bedrooms and then you'd have the funds left to paint it properly?Can't believe Mosstown you've to paint a house, the amount of new houses I've seen down through the years that weren't painted (last thing on the priority list, after the fencing, garden levelling and driveway etc). You're 3rd quote sounded reasonable to me for a large house (6 double bedrooms!). If you're short of cash and don't want to do all the work maybe a friendly chat with the county council planning department might be in order.
Longford CC - from the date we got retention they gave us 3 months to get the house painted...........
It was in response to Bronte's comment that I quoted above it, i.e. "If you're short of cash and don't want to do all the work maybe a friendly chat with the county council planning department might be in order." Just for future reference, when I quote someone else in my post, there is a good chance that my post refers to the quoted material.Complainer - the OP obviously has the funds if he's getting a painter to paint it, so don't know where your getting that implication from!
He asked for peoples advice on cost of painting his house, not an irrelevant unfounded speculation on his financial affairs!
