Hoping to go Saturday. Are they exactly the same? Ahhh so exciting. Yes they come with integrated oven and hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The 3 bed show house in Parkside has now been sold so theres only a 4 bed on show. The 3 bed was almost the same except their kitchen is to the back not the front. If you go on the Parkside website you can do a 3d walk around it wont let me post the link here.

Ive just heard some new developments include this in contracts. Also, I haven't seen anything about management fees so assuming they won't apply but again, some new developments do come with management fees..

I didn't no they were building apartments at the entrance too, they kept that quiet. Have you heard back anything since signing the contracts or have they said how long it would be until they contacted you again?

Our solicitor got back to them straight away with a few queries and document requests and were still waiting 4 weeks now for there reply. We were told they would be ready about January (originally told Oct/Nov). Sad the show house is sold in parkside we would of liked to see it again! Excited for them to be built 😬

Adel12 wrote: » Houses only come tiled including bathrooms. Management company does have some compliance rules but they mostly apply to the front of the houses or any areas visible to the public eye. For example, you cant just make adjustments to your front door or put a satelitte dish out the front. You have to go through them for any requests like that. The idea is that they want it all looking the same...which isnt so bad i think! Fees are approx 400-500 per year depending on what you are buying, there is a breakdown available if you contact your solicitor and ask!

Does anybody know if the hall floor and kitchen floor come tiled? I know the bathrooms are tiled but just trying to plan ahead.

Checki0610 wrote: » Yea it's just not very clear in the brochure, but I guess duplexes aren't to bad as there isn't many of them either. Thanks for that.
Checki0610 wrote: » No were more towards the end of the road so that could be why they are saying later to us. If your on the first row then I would say it easily could be done before Christmas. The last time we drove up it looks like there is about 4 houses nearly built. Did you sign before hearing back from there solicitors? Our solicitor requested a few things on the 8th of June and we are still waiting to hear back from them so we haven't signed our contracts yet.
dn2017 wrote: » Yeah we are the first row so it could be before Christmas. There Solicitors said last Friday was the final date we could sign the contracts so we signed on Thursday. I drive past the site every morning and it look's like the houses are flying up. We were looking for a layout plan of the sockets but the builders have said they can't put any extra ones in but will send on a layout in the next few days.
Checki0610 wrote: » Oh really, we were originally told we had to sign after 3 weeks but when our solicitor got the contracts he sent them a list of questions back at the start of June and we still haven't heard back. Hooke&MacD have called us asking why we haven't signed but we said we're waiting on them otherwise we're ready to sign. I wonder will they call us now and say we need to sign regardless. Yea they seem to be going up fairly quick, I'm hoping they don't take longer than 6 months. Did you contact the builders directly for the socket plan? Do we get to make any changes internally or get options for anything do you know since you've signed?
