I am buying a house in new estate of 80 houses . There have been long delays in building the house and I am v anxious to move in asap for a whole host of pressing reasons. Whilst the house is ready for snagging by an architect, there will be no electricity supply for a few weeks(fault lies with eirgrid apparently). Whilst I am not suggesting closing on the house sale without an electricity supply, I am thinking of getting the house professionally snagged by an architect at this stage. My current view is that I can check the lights / alarm / Heating & rads / appliances myself prior to final closing. Holding off until there is electricity will delay occupancy by 3 weeks, which is quite a problem for me . Any views ?
