Hi all. I have gone through some of the old posts re home closing, snagging etc. and illicited some useful information. However, I do not know that our specific circumstances have been considered;
We have a completion date of 5th Nov. We were advised of this in correspondence dated 22nd Oct (which we did not get until the 24th owing to the builder sending the correspondence to our old address). The electricity has not yet been connected (called ESB on 25th) and was told that it would be 10 working days. I have contacted a snagging company and they will snag in the coming week but how does this leave us viz the closing date of the 5th? I called the solicitor on Friday but they did not return my call.
Does anyone know if we can delay the closing to at least enable us to complete a snag of some sort? I understand that unless the issues identified are fundamental, a snag may not be used to delay a closing, but the completion date is a bit unreasonable in my view.
