    2nd cul de sac and they said a week ago that they will move the fence in a week or so.
    how come there are people already living in the top road with all the issues stated in the letter? did u guys ask?

    Because apparently this warning letter was only brought to the attention of the builders solicitor in the last month or so.

    Ok. Its all strange to me. Issue of wayleave was brought up in February same date as the letter and we got extra plans with wayleave marked and extra papers to sign as it goes via our property.
    Some people in the first cul de sac were delayed after snag coz of DRCC not happy with things but think they were in a month after...which was march
    Fingers crossed its just a standard thing that DRCC tells them fix this and that or we wont allow people to move in...

    Did you have to pay full managment fee for 2016 even if you got the keys only recently??

    Yes, we were told that the amount we paid will be apportioned and the balance will be brought forward and allocated towards the next year's service charge.

    Has anyone tried to get the new streets added to Google maps? I submitted a request today to Google for Belarmine Walk and Grove but it may help push them along if a few others request it as well :).

    Yeah I requested to add it a few months ago too, it's in the satellite view now but still not in the map view which is a pain when getting stuff delivered but fingers crossed they'll update the map in the new few months so people can find us :).

    BTW I see the second cul de sac is open now and people are starting to move in, welcome to the neighbourhood everyone!

    Probably should have said that the foundations were not for all of Phase 2. By the looks of it there is foundations for the first 6 houses (No.22-32) in the cul de sac on the right side as you enter. These would be the ones for March 2017.

    Hey there

    Does anyone have any update or know how much progress has been made on phase 2. Just got a call from SF asking had we made our paint/tile selection yet. I said to them I didn't think we were at that point yet!

    Was surprised on getting this call today. On probing about dates they said May/June 2017. Would love to see some drone shots of the progress so far.

    No they are not included downstairs in any of the 2 and 3 beds. They were only included in the 5 bed Lansdownes as far as I am aware.

    No downstairs wcs were tiled, 5 beds or otherwise. Sherry Fitz have no say in getting anything like this done, and they are not going to try. They were just humouring you in getting you to fill in the choice. If you want to try, go to Castlethorn directly.

    It really depends on your solicitor, our snag was done in a week, but you need to give the go ahead to your solicitor as this what has caused us all the delay in moving in. The snagging itself takes few days to complete, I'd say not even a week, depends on the issues you'll find but generally these are only minor. As soon as they say the house is ready for snag- you should start the paperwork, that would be my advice if you're planning to move in before xmas.

    Supposedly there are looking to get planning permission for a Phase 3 which would have 4/5 bed houses. This would be in the area that is to the right when you come into Phase 2 via the school.

    From the last time I was talking to SF thats what they said now that could change. I haven't looked for any planning permissions lately so maybe check the DLRCCO website for the application.

    does anyone know about a whatsapp group among belarmine woods neighbours that shares suppliers who are giving discounts for the estate? we were pricing flooring and found out we could get a better price when they realised we were moving into the belarmine woods estates. we're in phase two and should hopefully be moving in soon. maybe someone could PM info if possible, it would be very much appreciated.

    I would like to get sky tv in myself but I don't think the management company allows it. I could be wrong but pretty sure someone had said this to me before. If you hear otherwise please let me know.
