We got our contracts back today and we're facing the main road. Eager to know dates at this stage. Has anyone been given anything concrete other than 'end of sept' for phase 1?

We got contracts today to.Was given no date at all.No electricity or gas in the house to,so not suitible for snaging.Was talking to my solicitor today,advised us to wait till builder gets everything sorted then proceeded to snag the property.
When houses finished builder issues certificate that house is finished and ready for snag.

We are in same situation. Contracts arrives today in process of organising gas and electricity. No snag date yet.

Solicitor informed us that builder connects electricity and gas .We only change it to our names when moving in.
If you put electricity and gas on your name ,will be paying for something you don't use.Basically builder trying to save and cutting corners.

Out of interest does anyone know why the attics are non convertible?
Does it mean no conversion whatsoever or no conversion as a habitable space

The attic space does not meet height requirements for conversion, so i think it can only be used for storage.

Hi guys

Does anyone know when we should be arranging bank valuations for our houses? As far as I'm aware, you need an up to date valuation when getting house insurance. Has anyone had any guidance around this?

Hi all

Is anyone having a problem with the Help to Buy? We haven't had our contracts returned because the developers solicitor are having problems verifying our relief due. If anyone is going through anything similar or have had no problems with this I'd really appreciate your input.

We were told the builders solicitors had difficulty with our HTB application also. We were asked to confirm the codes were correct ( they were) and heard no more after that. Our contracts were returned ~ 10 days ago.

We were induvidually entitled to different amounts but i dont remember there being a seperate max relief amount, just one total i think? It was a while ago since we did it. So apologies but i cant be more help.

Thanks for that. in your HTB, are you and your partner provided with different entitlement amounts based on your own separate income tax and then a separate maximum relief amount? The solicitor is confused because they think we have different applications for the same house, which we don't! Very annoying!

Hi all,

What details did anyone provide to the builders solicitors for the help to buy? They are looking for an exact figure from us on what we will receive in relief, however, this figure is unavailable until you proceed to make the claim and in order to make the claim you must have returned and signed contracts. The solicitor has not returned contracts! Help anyone!!

Did you proceed to claim the HTB before you received you signed contracts back from the developer?

You need to supply the following to the builder's Solicitor,

Access Code 123456
Application Code A00012345
Claim Code C00012345

You should be able to get all of this from Revenue online if I remember correctly. After you receive the signed contracts back you need to complete another step on the HTB online. After you do this you should have all the required codes listed above.

For the exact figure, this can be calculated from the sum of the available tax you're eligible for. This should be available from the HTB online after you do the initial steps when choosing the years you want to use.

With us we applied together and it did show different entitlement amounts but it gave the overall total we were eligible for. We had this input on our contract (they had put 20k in automatically) and it was sent to the builders.

Once we got our contract returned we then uploaded it to revenue and proceeded to the claim stage. We were then given codes which we gave to the solicitor and they passed it on. We got notification in then on revenue online that our HTB had been verified by solicitor /building contractor and they'd get it in a few days.


Maybe you should contact revenue and query it because it does sound like there is two applications?

Yeah we snagged ours the other week. I have to say, mostly the snags were cosmetic, however there were problems with the floors downstairs which were not level at certain places and one of the toilet cisterns was cracked and needs to be replaced. Did anyone else find many snags?

We had some uneven floor issues aswell, everything else seemed cosmetic!

Hi,
I have bought a 3 bed semi-d in phase 2.
Can I ask about the uneven floors found in the snag, has the builder said how they plan to fix it?
I have been told that if a builder is putting down fresh concrete on the subfloor it should be given months to let the moisture come down before putting a wood floor down
