Hey folks,

I’m currently considering buying a house in Broom Heights and would love to hear from anyone who already lives there.

What do you like/dislike about the estate and living in Midleton in general? Any issues with noise, parking, flooding/drainage, traffic, maintenance, or anything else that only becomes apparent after living there?

Also, if you considered other estates in Midleton (e.g. Maple Woods, Arderrow, etc.), what made you choose Broom Heights over them?

Would really appreciate any honest opinions, positive or negative, before making a decision.

Thanks!

I'm in the process of buying a new-build house in a new estate in Midleton, and I've run into an issue.

The developer has refused to provide a Declaration of Identity for my individual house, saying they've already provided a Declaration of Identity for the entire estate before my house was even built.

Has anyone else come across this when buying a new-build? Is this normal practice, or could it be a red flag?

My solicitor has suggested hiring an engineer to prepare a Declaration of Identity specifically for my house. Does anyone know roughly how much this would cost in Ireland?

I'd really appreciate hearing about anyone's experience.
