Glenheron Pre Launch

Patofthericks

Has anyone bought in the pre-launch in Glenheron? If so what sort of time were you waiting for contracts etc to be delivered and has anyone actually signed yet?

Don't Chute!

Yeah we bought but still waiting for the contracts. Hope to get them next week.

Thanks, we were told last week that there was a slight delay and they hoped to have them out this week. Just curious if anyone had actually got them.

Don't Chute!

We've asked Sherry Fitz if there is a problem that we should know about and were assured there isn't. But then they are estate agents so you wouldn't know!

Woodenframe

Do either of you have a ballpark date for completion? Missed the one we wanted in P1 so hoping for P2...

Patofthericks

I was just assuming its a backlog, Cairn have quite a few developments in Dublin at the moment. From looking at other treads they have all had delays with contracts. Cairn also just listed recently and there solicitors Eversheds did all that work too. So hopefully just a timing issue.
@Woodenframe all I've been told so far is October / November with me info to be provided as the build progresses.

Woodenframe

Thanks Patofthericks. I have driven up to the development a few times in recent weeks and can see they are making great progress.

Don't Chute!

We are going to our solicitor on Tuesday to the contract!

Sorry, are you going to collect or sign the contracts? We still haven't received ours.

Don't Chute!

Sorry didn't notice that. We're going to sign.

Patofthericks

Nice, congrats. I've chased Sherry Fitz again today about the contracts as we are yet to receive ours still. We didn't put our deposit down until about 2-3 weeks after the initial launch.
Sorry if I'm being too noisy but, did you get a build pack with the contracts detailing kitchen finishes etc?

Don't Chute!

We actually haven't received anything. Our solicitor has contracts. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

how much are the houses going for?

Hi we are still waiting for our contract from the developers solicitors. How did your signing go?

Folks, anyone know if there is a second phase for this development and if there are any 4 bed detached being included? Also is it a requirement to be sale agreed on our own house and finally was there a mad rush when they were first launched ?

Woodenframe

Reckon they must be launching some of the 4 bed detached next time as there is only them, the 4 bed semis and the 2 beds to launch I think.
We were not allowed to put a deposit on 1st phase as we weekend sale agreed at the time.
There are still a few 3 beds left and I think there were 4 bed semis up until the day before we went sale agreed, almost 3weeks after the launch
I suppose this time it might depend if they launch before or after seagreen/ waverky/ marina village and what type of house they have on offer.

Cairn are building 170 more houses to the south of Charlesland - don't know if this will be called Glenheron but they're currently clearing the site so I'd imagine they'll be on sale next year.

It didn't. It was just more papers for selling our own place. Still no sign of contracts for Glenheron.

slane2017

how much did the 4 bed detached sell for in phase 1? will be keeping an eye on phase 2 if the price is right.

Woodenframe

575k, there was still one available when i spoke to agent late last week.
They ones in phase 2 will be different though. P1 are two storey 4 bed detached but P2 are 4 bed dormers I think.. ie no attic space so assume they will be cheaper.

Wantahouse

thanks. Is that high for Greystones? Am new to the area so trying to get a feel for the house prices around here.

It is a lot of money, but unfortunately that is what you can expect to pay for that area. I think that you will find that the build quality and insulation is very good (unlike the celtic tiger cr@p that many of us have to endure ).

Although technically these houses have the Greystones address they are really Charlesland.

Wantahouse

thanks for filling me in. It seems like a lot of developments around there say Delgany or Greystones but are probably Kilcoole etc.

Sorry about the Celtic tiger crap you are dealing with.

Wantahouse

As someone mentioned, #10 is still available in the Glenheron development. Is that because it is North facing do you think? Seems like a great house otherwise.

Pedanticness

The estate seems to be on the boundary of a few areas. Could easily be called Delgany as Glenbrook park do just across the road. As the entrance in onto the Kilcoole Road I agree it shouldnt be Charlesland, possibly Killincarrig. But suppose for overal martekablily / re-sale Greystones sounds better. They've all morphed into one area anyway.
@Wantahouse you could have hit the nail on the head with the north facing garden. Looking at the site last night #10 is going to be a fine size house with plenty of space.
Has anyone thats purchased had any info on the kitchens yet? I see on the Facebook page people are talking about McNally's Kitchens.

Yeah some fella on there saying McNallys. Don't know where he's getting his information from.

Wantahouse

thanks for the helpful feedback @Pedanticness.
So tempted by #10.... I think it will be pretty bright with all those windows.

Don't Chute!

Someone on Facebook this morning saying the contracts are with our solicitors!

Just seen that, I take it you haven't heard anything either?

You do realise that Charlesland isn't a townland? The Charlesland addresses contains "Greystones". So, fear not, your address can't be a"Glenheron, Charlesland".

The snobbery in this thread is a little disturbing and I'm disappointed that it wasn't challenged early on my the moderators. I hope that it's not typical of our new neighbours in Glenheron!

Also, Pedanticness, in relation to your earlier comment, Charlesland areas are a private estates managed by different owner managed companies (except for the Spine Road which was handed over to WCC), so let's not get territorial about access to each others managed property!

Zoo4m8

Charlesland was a townland before it was built on, can't see that having changed? it's not a contrived name like 'Glenheron, Waverly' etc etc ...

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Feasog Dearg I was talking about it from Sherry Fitzgerald / Cairns point of view, people not from the area would see Greystones as a nicer area than say Killincarrig which few from outside the area would have ever heard off.[/font]
[font=Arial, sans-serif]I have also known Charlesland as an area even predating the development so was under the impression that it was a townland. Even if it was just [/font][font=Arial, sans-serif]parochial[/font][font=Arial, sans-serif], anyway I couldn't really care what follows the estate name. Was merely making the point that estates in that general area seem to pick and chose. Eden Gate = Delgany, Glenbrook Park = Kilcoole, Greystones, Delgany depending on what website you use. The estate at the top of the hill beyond the accident black spot (forget its name) has also been referred to as Delgany, Greystones and Killincarrig.[/font]
Also not sure what you mean earlier comment about access?

Feasog Dearg

You guys are of.course right. Never post before coffee!

I confused townland with electoral division this morning. Charlesland is a townland of Kilcoole,

I dont feel there was anything very snobby requiring moderator action. Please report it if you do instead of backseat moderating. As always any feedback on moderation should be by PM and not on thread.

Hi Everyone,

We are considering a home in glenheron in the next phase. Does anyone know if the attics are convertible? Is there anything that distinguishes these homes from waverly/seagreen? Just trying to get a handle on all estates out there

Thanks a mil

Hi Sarah, the attics are not immediately ready to convert. But they are convertible.
There isn't a huge amount between Waverly and Glenheron for me, personally I don't really like the layout of Sea Green so was never a runner for us.
Waverly are slightly bigger houses and also slightly cheaper based on the last phases. The main differences are the heating source, Waverly is the new air pump system versus gas in Glenheron. And size of estates, Glenheron is quite small 50, Waverly is about 180 I think.

Don't Chute!

As far as I know the attics in Glenheron are not convertible. You can see the floor plans for Glenheron here http://www.glenheron.com/wp-content/themes/qwerty/Glenheron-FloorPlans.pdf
There are show houses open for Waverley/Seagreen so you can see exactly what they are like but I heard the show house for Glenheron won't be done until phase two😐
The floor plans above might give you some idea.

Thrre are 50 in this part of the estare running parallel to the kilcoole road and then 150 plus (can't remember exact figure would need to check planning) running along the length of charlesland.

That's going to be a separate estate, with a different entrance. Only walking access between them.

Yes I've lookes at the plans. Seems to be walking route between the two parts of the estare and a charlesland. Same developers and still to be called Glenheron judging by signs at the roundabout half way down the dual carriageway.

I doubt it will be called Glenheron if there are separate entrances on different roads, it would be really confusing.

I spoke to someone at the developer’s office a few weeks ago and she said it would be called Blacklion.

This also seems unlikely as there is already an area with the same name north of Greystones and will cause confusion.

jpd

Well, we already have 2 "New Road"s so it wouldn't be a first!

Don't Chute!

Cairn are building around 200(?) houses down at Blacklion so I presume that's what she meant.

sarah1900

Oh that is interesting about the other houses. I will ring sherry fitz about the attics so, I know waverly are convertible for sure, would be a shame if glenheron weren't. Also we went out for a look today, phase one looks like it's coming along quickly , looks great! Although the back gardens look very sloped , is that the case does anyone know? For example 8,9 that over look 13 and 12? Looks like a big slope . Any info would be appreciated

We were told today that there is no slope. One will have four steps from patio up to the garden and the other side will have the steps down.

looks like P1 is sold out folks, the only option is a waiting list of cancellations.
