Cúil dúin city west.

Has anyone been up to view this new development?

I have. These are 3-storey houses, so what that gives you is generously sized bedrooms and additional 'storage' room which will accommodate a desk and a sofa bed easily.

In fact, I have reserved one of them today. I think it's decent enough location (very close to the Saggart Luas stop) and they're bigger than your average C/D/E rated Celtic tiger builds (which tend to be going for similar money).

Fingers crossed!

Looks very nice from the brochure. Would anyone have the list prices?

Thanks for that. Have they not completed any 2 beds as of yet?

If you look at the plan, the first phase is the first 2 blocks from the left (roughly). There is only one 2 bed in it (13 Cuil Duin Row) but it wasn't available for sale. I asked the same question when I rang the agency last week and they said there were no 2 beds available in this phase.

It's a field with few show houses, long way to go to lovely

Best of luck to you all if you do buy there, I looked at it online but being from the Tallaght area I didn't like the location of it for me it was too near Fortunestown now that prob wouldn't bother most people but I am from Millbrook and would prefer to stay in the area I am currently renting in Kingswood so want to stay down that end also I dont like new builds but these seem like lovely houses and well built so I hope all works out for you all.

So, how many people are now going to pull out of the purchase in light of the latest revelations about the mysterious grant for first time buyers? If I am reading it correctly it will be announced in October and back dated to yesterday. The thing is, without knowing the detail how do you make a call on it? For example, what if it only applies to houses under €275k?

To be honest I doubt it's going to be that great of an offer do u? Don't see why they don't just do away with the stamp duty the gob****es brought in for FTB. Most of the house's on the market for 275 need a lot of work and wouldn't be as high spec as these new builds so could end up costing you more in the long run. Will be interesting to see what they come up with anyway ðŸ˜

Personally I would prefer if they stopped introducing uncertainty into the market and addressed the key issue (supply) instead. I am not changing my decision anyway as I doubt the grant will have any significant impact. Just wondering what others are thinking.

Mod note
The new grant has its own thread, please discuss it there rather than derail this thread. Thanks

Anyone's solicitors get their contracts yet for Cúil Dúin?

tintin23

Nothing as of now...

Janeblue

No sign of contracts yet either. Des told us expect about 6 weeks for them and that was 6 weeks ago so hopefully it's soon

Devassy

Has anyone heard this was a flooded area. I enquired and they said it was before and now they have drainage . Just checking whether anyone has heard or enquired about this

Here is the report from the flooding back in 2011. Looks like the water spilled on to the roundabout leading to the development, but that's about it. I work for an insurance company, will check the flood rating for the area when I come back from holidays

Were you told that today?
And any idea when they will be ready to move in - the front houses?

Yes. Mid Terrace now starts at 290,000 and end terrace starts from 310,000. Earlier end Terrace started from 290,000

Madness that people are paying these prices when there's plenty of terraced houses in MillBrook/Watergate/Springfield for 200K.

Or 250/300K for semi D's in old bawn/Aylesbury.

More amenities and transport on your doorstep too.

Might be because these are new builds

I have spent the last 2 years looking at houses around 275k mark (including around Oldbawn and Aylesbury) and in terms of space nothing even comes close to these. 280k / 120 sqm = 2,333 EUR/sqm in Cuil Duin. 280k / 80sqm = EUR 3,500/sqm in Oldbawn. It's mad that people are willing to spend that much for a semi D in Oldbawn/Aylesbury. And that's without even going into Luas vs Dublin Bus, A rated vs D rated, new vs second hand.

There are not plenty of terraced houses for 200k in millbrook and not one house for sale in watergate ???

This doesn't affect those who already paid the deposit, does it?

PokeHerKing

Sorry I should have said in my opinion. To each their own and all that. Friends have bought similar houses in saggart and they're 3 floors 5 bathrooms. Front door opening into your sitting room. No front garden, small back gardens.

These might be different but along with the area I just don't see why people would want to pay these prices.

Not sure what the Dublin bus/Luas comment means?

conormc1984

So where are these 200k mid terrace houses that you speak of in watergate/millbrook ??

An eot house on my road in Watergate sold for 210K in December. A friend just went sake agreed on an eot in Springfield for the same price.

Not saying they're plentiful but just voicing my opinion when I saw the prices quoted on this thread.

No. That's what they said!

New builds have so much more efficiencies that they carry some premium for example the high level of insulation. But how much are they worth?

Only got round to checking the flood rating now - it's green, no issues

Did anybody get their contracts, guys?

No

Me neither

No contacts either, our surveyor said competition date should be around 1st Feb 2017

Has anyone had a look at:
google/maps/place/Cuil+Duin/@53.284893,-6.4330302,675m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48677467014b7713:0x556e3697d68b54da!8m2!3d53.284505!4d-6.433161

If you look at the satellite view and look at the road that runs in front of the houses on Citywest Avenue (Look at site plan to see Citywest Avenue: cuilduin/site-plan/) it looks as if the road should have been in the past joined up to around about further on.

I have asked the question about the road and am still waiting 3 weeks later to hear anything.

My fear is that the road is connected up and then I have a public road in front of my house.

Has anyone heard anything about this road?

robo

Good luck getting any information - my solicitor was finally informed last week that it will be another month before they get the contracts. :rolleyes:

Leah32

This is also my fear as we were told they don't know if it's been connected as it was their from last development that fell through.. We put deposit on that road and want it clarified before contracts!!
