Glenside Carrickmines showing

Galwayforliam

Glenside Carrickmines is going on view this week - would be interested to hear people's views of this development - final phase near the retail park. Has anyone been in touch with estate agent?

myshirt

Fantastic looking development and well located if you ask me.

Any word on what this release contains and the price range?

Galwayforliam

Very close to M50 alright and not too bad a walk to the luas. No idea re pricing - waiting to hear back from them

Sure, nothing like a 1 hour round trip to walk to a shop for milk.

'Wrong' end of the Ballyogan Road, that is for sure, and probably the most unpleasant stop on Luas Green line! Being close the The Park is nice though, some decent coffee/lunch options in there, plus I believe the next phase of the retail development includes plans for a cinema and a proper grocery/supermarket. No point counting your chickens there though. The Glenamuck road is a) very busy and b) very narrow in parts.

Must be a joke?!:pac:

We were interested until we realised the 3 beds already have the attic converted as one of the 3 bedrooms.

Check the planning on this. I've seen a few developers try this trick recently and made a bags of it

Catmologen

Had a phone call from the agent today and its 480k+ for the 3 beds apparently.

That's a sneaky one! If you can convert a 3 bed for 20k.m, it makes to go for that over a 4-bed that can't be converted for an extra €100k!

Around the same as Clay Farm and Bishops Gate so- 3 beds priced for the HTB scheme and end of terrace prob €499k.

I'd be guesstimating 4 bed €570k and maybe €585k end of terrace

The 4 and 5 beds in Glenside look fine if you can afford them (kitchens are maybe a bit small).

It's just the 3 beds (which they call 3 bed + study because there's another room on the top floor that can't be used as a bedroom because of the roof) that look too limiting.

F*ck me sideways that is extortionate. Was planning on taking a viewing of these but not at that price.

Nika Bolokov

Jesus there some prices.

Here we go again.....

Galwayforliam

Yeah I didn't bother going- not pushed on location but maybe I'm fussy at this stage. Nonetheless I will go for a look tomorrow to see what they're like

These are not insignificant sums, no doubt, but for what they are they do represent value given the house you are getting and the strategic location.

What are your expectations for a strategic location?

eternal31

I went there today. The kitchen and living room of 4 bed looks better than Clay Farm. But location is not as good as there. And u need pay management fee per year. Maybe 700 Euro per year. And no south facing.

The 3 beds already have the attic converted as one of the 3 bedrooms, which means you lose a lot of storage space and also have no possibility of converting it to a 4 bed in future.

I don't think 480k represents value for that.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the 3 beds in the prior phases went for anywhere near that amount?

Was there many there? Was there a queue there pre launch?

Not many people for queue. Don't know why. Maybe because there is no luas stop across the street or maybe it's not the first phase.

Disappointing prices, so greedy. I had heard that it 'might' start at 480 for a 3 bed but was hoping it was a lie... did 3 beds not sell for under 400k in the last phase? That's an immoral jump up in price, for the same thing! Clay farm location is much better for luas and shops, and yet these are more expensive?? They know nobody can get the 20k HTB scheme for prices over 500k - Very unsound to set 4 beds from 535. 4 beds were well under 500k in the last phase if I am not mistaken.

Also interested to find out what people think of these. I drove up again during the week (no showhouse just a drive to figure a few things out). Still can't understand how you cross the road to get to the luas from there! Such a crazy busy road. The location is just ok for me, no major 'perks' to balance being a bit further out from newsagent, pub, luas etc.

The big houses around the playground are nice enough, but the terraced middle should be a lot cheaper. 3 beds seem tiny. If the sound quality between houses is Sh1t, you might say one is f*#%ed. If you do go up, look at the pylons behind one row of phase 2 houses. EA couldnt tell me anything about them. The ESB told me there they weren't worried about their close proximity (Yes i called them!!) but imo they still look a bit too close for comfort.

At the current price, with all considered, I just don't think they are for me. Good luck to all.

I think the market is calming- no hysteria at clay farm- about 15 people queuing versus about 60-70 pre lunch for bishops gate and little or no queue for Glenside.

We can all appreciate value now in our hunt and know when we're been sold something that is over valued.

Expatsindublin

They sold 11 out of 17 released houses in the meantime. And apparently there was a queue for the four beds at 5:30. 3 beds are tiny indeed.

Galwayforliam

What's left so a few mid terrace houses?

A 5 bed. A couple of four beds, and 3 three beds

eternal31

what do people think about this development? Compared to clayfarm, is this one better?

Or maybe because it’s half a million for a small house, 1hr walk to the shop, next to a giant car park otherwise known as the M50

the shopping center across the street will open a grocery supermarket, cinema and a few restaurants in next phase. Will it become better?

clay farm is also expensive.

awec

These are just too expensive for what you're getting, hence the lower demand.

480 for a small 3 bed that can never be made into a 4 bed.

3-bed is overpriced. How about 4-bed? 535k

Depends what is important to you. Pricing is pretty much the same. House types (many terraced) are similar.

Do you want a quieter life, less people, less hustle and bustle? Are you not overly bothered about the luas? Do you have a car, definitely? Do you want a slightly more spacious 3 bed? Glenside.

Is Luas convenience a priority for you? Do you enjoy the buzz of a busy neighbourhood? Do you want to be walking distance to a school and shops? Do you hate the carrickmines retail park, particularly "power city"?(!!) Clay Farm.

There definitely are pros and cons to all new estates these days. There is no ideal estate (ok maybe Marina Village in Greystones #the dream). Just weigh up your own. I do think the "eco park" in Clay Farm looks like it will be great, when built. I do tend to scope out where i can go walking in the evenings in the househunt. Glenside - you can definitely walk around, i just couldn't see a good loop (I'm sure you suss these things out when living there).

There were well over 30 voucher numbers given out before the clay farm prelaunch, from people queuing in advance. Ticket numbers were up in the high 60s at the prelaunch day (thursday?) - last time i heard the ticket numbers being given out. Still quite high considering not everyone is on money to afford the higher mortgage. They know people will pay, no matter what they charge. Not many south dublin new builds. Unless you have 750K for a 3 bed in knockrabo? #nobother:D

I had planned to go to Glenside launch but didn't bother when I saw they had upped the price to 480 and...

The back gardens of the houses around the playground are TINY.

They end in a steep embankment which goes up to a house overlooking them.

The apartments are the front of the development - don't like that.

It was a beautiful sunny evening when I went up there but Glenside was already in the dark - no evening sun at all - mountain first and foremost but also the apartments add to that feeling...

Didn't get up to the terrace that is on release though.

Actually got a call from EA seeing was I still interested so they aren't moving so quick.

Yea they rang us as well, they must be struggling. I think they're planning another launch weekend soon. Will be interesting to see what happens if they still don't sell, do they start dropping prices?

Same re follow up and not going! Maybe we're all getting sense and the market will reflect this with pricing in due course!

misstrekvix

We are viewing a 3 bed here soon, does any one know why these are like?? Are they Tiny? When I read the post about the Pylon I was totally turned off , it's probably one next To it!!
