Sounds interesting, who is the local supplier and what type of floors/brands are we talking about?

Supplier is Matt Britton in Dundrum. Haven't got a qoute yet from them but should do tomorrow. Only have one quote for flooring yet so not sure what's good value. Thinking laminate downstairs and carperts elsewhere.

We found quote from Matt Britton very expensive. Was highest of all the quotes we got (got quotes from 4 places)t. Hopefully they will do you a good discount.

I would be very surprised if you got a better deal than from the Flooring Mill. We went to Carpetright in Sandyford and the quote was €1,000 dearer for the exact same floors and carpets. He's a small family run business and was great to deal with, would highly recommend you contact him for a quote

Anyone know if there are any 4 beds (ideally Orchards) left in phase 1.5 ?

There were a handful of Junipers left as of about a week ago. No Orchids, unless there were cancellations in the meantime. Phase 2 launching next weekend.

hmmm

What's the traffic likely to be on the distributor road? Do you think buying a place looking on to this road will be noisy?

The Ballyogan Road? It'll be incredibly busy. It won't be quiet anyway.

The Sparrow

Anyone have any idea when the apartments that they are currently building are likely to be launched? Is that part of phase 2?

The Distributor Loop road is the one running through the whole estate and coming out onto the Ballyogan road (in two places). It's due to be completed this year I think.

Hi guys

For anyone who has already bought houses, did you have any issue in getting flood insurance for your house? I've heard it's difficult now to get insurance for anything that's less than 200m from a body of water?

Thanks!

Was there many Ferns up for sale?

No queue this morning when I left and only a small one yesterday

JDD

7 ferns 3 elders. My brother queued very early Thursday morning and got a ticket for us around 8am. I think he said there quite a few cars by 6ish. All the 3 beds sold today.

€490k for a Fern, €495k for an Elder, and then I think €580k for the four bed orchid and €630k for the 4 bed juniper.

Interesting, the fern was more expensive in the first phase so that's swapped around.

Any extra for side entrance or facing south?

For reference, our phase (previous release) prices depended on if the house was mid terrace, end of terrace or semidetached, but not on the location because well, there weren't different orientations to choose from really (although it might affect the overall price), 3 beds previous release were 485 to 500 (cheapest was mid terrace Fern, most expensive semidetached Fern, elders were priced as an end of terrace Fern, even though they were semi, but orientation was worse).

JDD

The price list didn’t make any differentiation between end of terrace or orientation, though I’m sure there was had you asked. To be honest we couldn’t really afford anything over 500k so it was all moot to us.

Hi all,

Has anyone’s fire alarm / carbon monoxide alarm went off in their house yet? Ours did this evening, and I’m not sure what caused it. We had no appliances on and weren’t cooking. I reset the boiler in the kitchen, off and on, and then a few minutes later it stopped. I guess my question is has anyone’s alarm went off when a gas boiler reset was required?

And also should I be worried about carbon monoxide?

The alarm has remained off since resetting the boiler.

Hi all, would residents (current and new purchasers) be up for joining a private facebook page? Could be a great place to chat about concerns / queries. I could set one up if people fancied it and we could limited joining to Clay Farm dwellers Heard of some other developments having one in place for sharing info / suppliers and seemed to be useful.

JDD

That’s a great idea emmad- I’d be interested in joining that.
