    Hi there,
    I don’t have Gordon’s new number, perhaps some else on the forum might. You could try email, he is great getting back on that....do you have it?

    Hi

    Thanks for the mail. Turns out he still has the same number so please scrap my post!

    Hi there,

    Yes I was told the same end of May. I contacted Gordon yesterday and he said that there has been some delays, so snagging is now aimed for July.
    I expected it though reading this forum and I’ve been watch the progress slow down over the last month or so.

    Seems we're all in the same boat and receiving consistent messaging from Gordon as I emailed him this week too and got the same response. He's pretty quick to respond tbf.

    If Gordon reads the thread, perhaps set up an account and drop a weekly status note to the group. Good/Bad/On track - it doesn't matter to me provided I have information up front so I can plan accordingly.

    Looking forward to cracking open a bottle of champagne when this is all over and never, ever, ever moving again.

    Hi All, were May snaggers phase 3 or 4? I’m guessing our phase 4 (I think 4 is right final phase!) move in date of September is off the table now?

    Have you been out to the site at all? I pop out every two weeks to see how progress is going. Last weekend #14 & 15 of Rahillion Way were up to roof level. Everything to the East of that, 16 RW >> North side of the drive is up and #37-43 on RD look to be completed entirely and have all the fencing taken down.

    Everything west of 14 & 15 Rahillion Way is still at ground level, so I imagine they will take 6+ months from now to be completed based on how long it's taking for the others.

    TBH, it's best to ask Gordon and he'll give you guidance, then keep an eye on the site.

    I've attached the site layout and also the plans I got a while back in case it's helpful.

    Thanks for this! We have been out to site most weekends since we signed but we haven’t been out properly with Gordon so we don’t know the layout, phases etc yet! Site plan is very helpful thanks so much!

    Hi,

    I noticed that there was a large block sale completed of units 1 to 9 on Rahillion Walk last month and was wondering if anyone know whether this was a "Cuckoo Fund" purchase or social housing?

    Hi,
    As far as I had heard it is for social housing, the percentage that has to go with every new build. That’s where I was told they were going to be positioned when purchasing 😊

    another question - I saw someone bringing rolled grass through their side entrance the other day. Does that mean the back gardens don't come with grass?

    Hi

    Can anyone give their recommendation for broadband within the estate. We used Vodafone before in Donabate and it was perfect so possibly will do the same again as I don't think the Sky bundle reaches Rahillion.

    How long was it before you could get connected up to anyone who has already moved in?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    We are in over a year now and love it. We went with Virgin for broadband. No problems at all.We initially went with sky but then they informed us they could not provide the broadband at that time. I think we were waiting about 4-6 weeks to get virgin but it was due to a delay in cabling in the estate etc so hopefully that won't be an issue for you.

    Hi there,

    They will seed the garden for you. We moved in April 2018, ours was seeded but the grass never stood a chance with the weather we had last summer:), and the hose pipe ban.My husband dug it up again and reseeded. It really only started to take off in the last few weeks.

    Does anybody know if Sky is available in the estate now?

    Hi Min89

    That's good to know. As I said, we never had a problem with Virgin broadband in Donabate previously so will opt for that if Sky isn't available when we move in.

    Thanks.

    No Sky Broadband as Eir haven't installed lines. Around 5 weeks after we moved in Virgin connected. Have Virgin Internet & Sky TV no issues with either

    I would guess given the vague excusses for the delays are probably caused by the priority placed on completing the social units in the estate.

    Have all the social units been placed together? I thought they were being peppered over the entire development?

    Hello,

    Just bought a house in Rahillion and I'm wondering if anyone else chose the "Ocean White" marble counter top for their kitchen and if it would be possible to see a picture of it? I love the look of it in the kitchen place in Navan but it is only available to see on a tiny sample square. Thanks a million!

    It would appear that the 9 units are together.

    Just jumping in here all, we have bought elsewhere (new build) and looking for a snag surveyor. A friend recommended <snip> to us and said they were very good. Has anyone had any dealings with them? Any recommendations?

    Won't be using your company John.

    Now, back to Rahillion. Anyone any updates?!

    Hi All

    If you have a chance could you please let me know how long it took for the builders to fix everything found by your snagging engineer and approximately how many weeks from date of snagging to receiving the keys?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Builders had snag list completed in just over a week. We did the 2nd check ourselves and there were no issues. From 1st snag to keys was about 4 weeks.
    Best of luck
