Hi all, have been informed we can start looking for a snag engineer. We are moving into the new Lakeview development, has anyone any recommendations please.

Looking for recommendations of a good physio for a broken ankle.

Buyers Beware: Advertised 119 m² vs 114 m² in BH Planning Documents

This week I viewed an end-terrace property in BH advertised as 119 m². However, after checking the Cork County Council planning documents, the approved size for the relevant house types appears to be 114 m².

When I raised the discrepancy with the sales agent, I did not receive a clear response.

From what I could verify:

• Type E and Type H houses are approved at 114 m²
• The 119 m² J-type houses appear to be only 6 units and are not part of Phase 1 or 2
• All semi-detached units in Phase 1 or 2 are around 115 m², with some including an additional 15 m² extension (Exempted development extension)

The following units appear to correspond to the 114 m² house types based on the planning drawings:

Meadow View:
1, 19, 22, 25, 32, 33, 36, 37, 40

Clover Avenue:
1, 4, 5, 8

Meadow Avenue:
76, 77, 80, 81, 84

Planning documents can be checked here:
https://planning.agileapplications.ie/corkcoco/search-applications/

Planning application reference:
23/6277

After opening the application, check the “Documents” tab and then “Floor Plan” to view the floor plans and site layout drawings.

At an advertised price of €455,000 for a 119 m² end terrace unit, the implied value per square metre is approximately €3,823. Based on that, a 5 m² difference equates to roughly €19,000 in value, which is significant for most buyers.

The purpose of this post is simply to encourage buyers to independently verify floor areas rather than rely solely on marketing material.

If anyone believes the above units are officially approved as 119 m², feel free to share the relevant approved planning application references number.

In my case, I eventually found a nearby semi-detached property around 118 m² for a similar price, which changed my decision-making process considerably.

Hi I’m looking for help for my mental health. I’ve been to my gp at least 8 times the last 11 months and have been to Midleton hospital. They know how I’m feeling and just upped medication and sent me an appointment for 3 months time. Been in contact with Midleton hub but think they not taking people right now. Feeling very very lost hopeless and just feel no happiness in life anymore.
Please don’t say to ring Samaritans etc. I need real help. I think I need a psychiatrist but I can’t afford to go private.

What's the story with that building down the main street " M.Uaceocáin " ? Someone told me it's a chipper that opens when ever the owner feels like it but somehow I'm not convinced.

Hey folks,
New to the area in one of the new builds. Wondering if anyone has numbers of plumbers or handyman in the area to have on file for the future?
Thanks in advance

Hello,

My baby is due in December 2026. I live in Midleton and I’m interested in enrolling him/her in the Little Angel creche from around 1 year old. Would it be a good idea to join the waiting list already?

Thank you.

This might not go anywhere but to the fella who paid for my taxi home last night just outside Oliver plunkett street to get me out a really shitty situation if you see this thank you so so much. Please text me so I can send you the money back because I feel so guilty for how expensive it was first of all and second of all that I didn’t thank you properly.

Also if anyone reading this knows who he is please let me know!

We reserved a house in Phase 2 of broom heights

Has anyone in the same situation any idea of when the houses will be ready?

Also what are people’s thoughts on the estate so far? :)

Would love some feedback,

Thank you!

Hello!

I've a question about commuting to Mallow from Midleton. I usually take the commuter to Kent station and use the Leap Card. I need to go to Mallow this week and see that I need to board the Intercity in Kent.

Can I use my leap card all the way? As in tap in Midleton - tap out in Mallow, or should I be taking a separate ticket since I switch to board an Intercity?

I was unable to find clear information on the website.

Thank you very much!

Was there a price drop for the next phase in Ard Griffen? Seen the new ad on daft today. I thought they were going for more previously.

Anyone around Midleton want some free plants? They're Sedum "Autumn Joy" I think (they've pink flowers in autumn).

Anyone know what's the story the stationary cameras at the turn off for water rock? I only spotted them today.

Any recommendations for sports massage therapists in east cork?

Hi,

Is there any recommendations/suggestions on side fence/gate installations around Midleton & Carrigtwohill. I have a small front yard and looking for a landscrapper to remove the gravels and install ornamental grasses and shrubs on them please? Would really appreciate any input. Thank you
