    Hi, do you need to give them much notice to install? We’re likely closing tomorrow or Wednesday, so wondering will I have a shot of having the WiFi in for the weekend... any idea on lead-time to install siro?

    About six weeks but they give you the 4G router straight away which works fine until it's in

    Do you mind me asking what type of house you purchased? We are hoping to close on an Elder and didn't realise the stairs wasn't painted. Thanks a mill!

    Hi Shell,
    What do you mean by not painted? The walls and skirting are painted and the handrails are painted/matt wood finish. Just the floors are not finished like rest of house.
    Well that was the case with our elder house.
    Hope that helps?
    Thanks

    Hi Shane, I rang Digiweb last Wednesday, had the modem sent on on Friday and it was installed today. Great customer service as well. if you quote my name and address you will get €30 off one months bill.

    The price is €45 on a 12 month contract for 150mbs. Vodafone works out at €45 per month but is an 18 month contract.

    Just an FYI, new builds anywhere never come with the floors finished.

    The Flooring Mill fitted the showhouse, so we got him in too fit our floors. Stephen is his name, absolutely brilliant and great to deal with. He was also the best quote we found for high quality http://flooringmill.ie/

    Question, from the ones that have already fitted the floors, was the underfloor levelled? If not how many mm? And for the difference with the kitchen /bathroom tiles? Wondering how much space we have for the underlay. Thanks! :)

    Not exactly sure on your question, but most flooring companies should be providing you with underlay as part of their price. Our carpet came with a thick underlay, probably 9mm. The laminate flooring came with a thinner underlay

    Thanks Rob, I guess I am considering a more DIY approach O:) at any rate I wanted to choose a better underlay, but I still don't have the keys and I don't know how high are the tiles in the kitchen/bathroom , since I assume laminate + underlay should be roughly the same. Who did you get for laminate and carpets? We are not sure of what to do with the stairs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭Haidee_Hammond


    And, another question, is someone getting a 6ft mattress (super king)? We got one because sales, and got it delivered to his parents, and it doesn't fit up the stairs there, so I worry it won't on the new house either. I guess is a long shot, but just in case anyone else was crazy enough to get a massive bed :)

    Im pretty sure there was a super king in the juniper master bedroom so should be possible

    Just checked the Juniper in the Virtual Tour and it seems to have a King size bed, but thanks anyway! :)

    We used the Flooring Mill, the guys that fitted the show house. Give him a call, I would be surprised if you found a better price for the same products used in the show house. He has cheaper alternatives as well

    Hi All,

    We are looking at the juniper house in Clay farm only since few days ago, and may I ask two questions?

    1. How is the quality of the kitchen appliances? What is the brand? People said that they are not good, is it true?
    2. Any news about the eco parkland? Be honest, the back yard is not good, but it seems that the parkland could be the compensation to that. Originally, the park should be available this summer, but agent said that it would be a delay, and we do not know how long the delay is.

    Thanks millions for any help!

    Dear Friends -

    I just purchased one of Elder house in phase 1.B in very heavy price. i know this is for area and Luas

    1. Howz your experience with allotted parking. I am visiting Place frequently now to see progress but while looking at parking plan specially for Fen and Elder houses, this give lots of displeasure. Itn't parking is very tight when parking horizontal ? Is there space to get out from car and go inside house comfortably ?

    2. House size is very decent while overall project having too many apartment building and houses. isnt overall property gonna be very congested soon ?

    3. what do you think regarding eco park, when this gonna be ready ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭JDD


    Perhaps this is me being cynical, or perhaps it's because I bought a new build at the height of the boom that had all sorts of promises of parks and shopping centres and creches attached that never materialized when the builders went into NAMA, but I would not be buying a house in Clay Farm based on the promise that the Eco Park will be built by a certain date, or at all.

    You need to be completely happy with the estate as it is, the day you get your keys. The way I see it, if the Eco Park is built it's a bonus. I take that Park Developments have been around for a long time and seem to be a good solid company, which I'm sure fully intends to follow through on the promise of an Eco Park. And I know it's part of their planning permission approval. But you never know what might happen between now and next year. It may be the case that if their plans for the 900 further units gets refused again, they may not have the cash for the Eco Park. And you can be sure it's not part of purchasing contracts.

    Another few questions for you all that have moved in already

    - how much was the booking deposit in Phase 1?
    - how much is the full deposit on signing contracts?
    - how soon between launch and signing contracts?


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭Haidee_Hammond


    @jyang_dcu I seem to recall @gstones was quite happy with the appliances, brands are zanussi for washing machine/dryer and electrolux for the kitchen, no idea about the quality, but I checked out of curiosity online reviews for washing machine/dryer and they seem fine. They might not be the posher part of the range, but they definitely don't seem to be bad quality either.

    As for the parking, eco park, sorry lads, not a clue, but would love to know myself.

    I have a question myself for @gstones or @Rob01, did you guys get your BER certificate? Is that specific to your house? What was the result? A friend of mine into the building business has been bugging me around airtightness on new builds, and I was wondering if there is reason to worry or anything that can be done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 gstones


    Nope, don't think we got it.

    Just had Siro put in and they've messed up the wiring for it in seemingly every house. It still works but the two wires should be beside each other but are on either side of the door.

    Requires Power Line Adaptors at c. €100 to fix or a line ran up and over the front door and back down the other side. The staff installing the line were baffled at how they managed to get that wrong.

    Overall happy with the house and estate but there's quite a few simple things like that, the TV point etc that they're got wrong, pretty poor for a new build.

    Haven't moved in, but if it helps:
    -10k
    -10% (total, aka, 10% minus the 10k, and whatever HTB if you had any)
    - a couple of months? I guess it depends on how fast you and your solicitor are, it took us less than one month from the phase 1B to be released until we signed (you have this 28 days clause if you want appliances to be included). For move in, we haven't yet, but some people have, and they were in the pre-launch in Sept, so... 5 months-ish?

    The TV point in the Fern was a massive issue for me when viewing the showhouse. The TV is in the correct place in the Elder and we've had no issue as sky just drilled a line from outside. I asked Saville's on the day of the launch about the Fern and they couldn't provide me with an answer as to why

    Also the Siro connection in the Elder was fine. Digiweb drilled a line from the side of the driveway and connected it all up fairly easy?

    I think the Eco Park is actually being put in by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in Phase 2

    Really? Well that would definitely mean that it at least will be built.

    God, another question occurs to me. Is there a management fee?


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 gstones


    Installing the Siro was fine but it should have been set up so that both points were at the door which would have enabled a connection through the electricity wires to all points in the house, the way that second point was placed, on the far side of the door, they weren't able to do it, actavo who are working for Vodafone said they'd seen it in a few houses. Means buying a €100 bit of kit to have it connected into the TV properly.

    Managed to move our TV point on the fern thankfully so it's on the main wall.

    In terms of others things, they're all small but the double doors inside open out instead of slide so they hit the kitchen door and inhibit what you can do with that space, we plan on moving them to a slide on time.

    There was too few electricity points.

    All downstairs bulbs had to be replaced.

    Houses weren't properly wired for smart lighting.

    Few things like that, again not major and by no means would it put me off the house or the estate just comes across as poor planning and but disappointing to not have covered basic things like that. We managed to fix nearly everything but costing a bit, nothing too much on its own but adds up.


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭Rob01


    Thanks a lot @gstones. Would you have any more examples? Might be useful to know.

    Kitchen does not come with a cutlery/utensil divider which was annoying. The kitchen provider will quote you €45 for one. Ikea sell one for 45cent as a makeshift one

    Bathrooms come fully fitted and are excellent, the finish was great. Only difference between ours and the show house, is the towel holder and toilet roll holder do not come with the house as they were deemed accessories.

    Other than that I literally cannot complain. The lads onsite are also brilliant if you need anything done or looked at after you have moved in

    No management fee for the houses. I would imagine like all apartment complexes in line with the MUD Act there will be a management fee for them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭JDD


    Great, no management fee for the houses is a definite plus.

    Being a total nerd I've been lurking on other new estate threads and some suggest that for an extra payment you can get the builders to convert your attic. Now I know these are timber frame houses so you need a surveyor involved but have any of you heard of anyone getting the builders to do that?

    I'm sure Savills wouldn't bring it up as obviously they want you to buy a four bed house if you're that way inclined.

    It's probably not an option open to us cost wise but we would like to convert at some point in the future and it'd be nice to know how much it might cost.

    Hi all,

    We moved into Larkfield Place over the weekend. We’re having trouble setting up a refuse collection for our house. Panda say they don’t service the estate, no luck with green star either.

    Who should I ring to collect the bins?

    Hey Rob01, have you ever tried to get any paint of wall and skirting board from the lads onsite?

    No not yet, the house comes fully painted in a Magnolia type colour and the skirting is spray painted white so we have not looked at painting yet as the finish on them is very good and will do us for now. You could always ask the the painters on site to do a nixer?

    We went with Greyhound, €18.50 a month for all 3 bins, black/brown collect one week, green bin the next.


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭Haidee_Hammond


    Hey Rob01, have you ever tried to get any paint of wall and skirting board from the lads onsite?

    Just in case you want to know, I asked Savills and they told me that these are the details:

    Ceilings: Fleetwood Matt Tinted 240179

    Walls: Fleetwood Matt Tinted 240126

    Woodwork: Eggshell (Oil based) 240179

    I think Stillorgan-decor stocks them all.

    Thanks a lot Rob01 and gstones! Living room doors and power points is something it was already annoying me. The towel rack or kitchen cutlery issue, I agree is small, but unexpected. Also, what do you mean not wired for smart lighting?

    I am starting to wonder how do you contact the guys onsite in case you want to ask for the price of modifying anything, also, what have you guys done? I am wondering is small things such as adding more light points, shelves in the closet for the main bedroom, towel rack, and... out of curiosity, why not, attic conversion (although I can almost assure you we can't afford it right now either).

    They cannot put a management fee for houses in place after people have purchased and moved in.

    Just to be clear, it was not in the contract for the house, so there is no management fee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭JDD


    Just asked Savills and they confirmed no management fee. That's a definite plus in comparison to Glenside, which has a fee of €700 per annum I believe.

    Thanks for paint info!
    I was googling the woodwork paint but couldn't seem to.find it. Is it Fleetwood too? And is code correct cos it is the same as ceiling paint?

    When you say woodwork - is this skirting boards and stairs bannisters?

    Thanks!!

    I couldn't find it either, but I wrote to the Stillorgan shop since they stock both brands and they told me it was enough info for them to mix it, haven't gone yet myself though. That is the info I got from Savills, but to me it would look like stairs and skirting boards are the same colours indeed.

    I got Siri installed last week. I wasn’t happy with the placement, so had it reinstalled yesterday. We’re in a Fern, and we had them route it from the front door to the other side of the house, so that it now comes into the corner of the living room. We went for the 300mb/s from Vodafone. To get the 300 you need to wire everything from the router, so it’s important to think about placement. I’m still getting >200 over WiFi, which is more than enough for most activity.

    There are a few guys on site who will do nixers. The foreman will be able to connect you if you ask. I had an electrician hook up the car point at the front door. It’s not live when you move in.

    +1 We’ve found the spot lights have needed to be replaced, however I prefer having LED.

    I have Hue lights set up, so I’m not sure about the problem with Smart Lights.

    Satellite dish is needed for sky. Our contract said we could not put one on the front or side of the house, but you are allowed put it on the back of the house provided Sky can get a signal. Their engineering will come out and do a test and put the satellite in this best place in the back garden/on the back of the house to pick one up

    I couldn't put myself through the trauma of having to use Virgin TV each day, it's terrible :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 17 cfresident


    Hi All,

    Just a couple of things to note.

    In relation to broadband/TV. We had ours installed last week. The main cable for connecting to the services is at the front door. This main cable then runs to the back door where there are two plates on the wall with TV & Data written on them. Providers need to connect the main cable to the cables at the back door to service the connection points in the house. They should not need to drill holes in the walls (they probably do for Sky). The main connection is not in the hall and as far as I know there is absolutely no need to connect anything in the hall or drill through walls for Broadband. I would suggest anyone else getting Digiweb tells them about the connections at the back door in the utility room.

    In relation to paint, we rang Fleetwood and they told us that we wouldn’t find the paint for the houses commercially as they were made specifically for Clay Farm (we had tried an number of stores). We went to the Fleetwood trade centre on Davitt Road and they were very good. Maybe try Stillorgan first, but failing that I would go straight to Fleetwood rather than wasting your time going around DIY stores.

    Question, how is the drainage in the garden? Do you notice any issues with it or have any idea if there is any particular arrangement for it? I am just worried because we visited a friend that just moved in and her garden seemed pretty damp, so I am worrying a bit (since I had loads of plans for the garden, which admittedly was my first mistake XD). Thanks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,580 ✭✭✭JDD


    I'd also be interested in the drainage issue. Given the fact the development is so close to that flood plain I'd hope the garden wouldn't get waterlogged. I'm really looking forward to growing some vegetables which I haven't been able to do in our rented home for the past few years.

    Phase 2 goes on sale at the end of this week apparently, though this hasn't been confirmed yet by Savills. Just waiting for the email. Hopefully won't have to queue - it just smacks of 2006 and having bought a new house just before the property crash hit I couldn't bear to take part in that sort of nonsense again...

    Anyone else getting measured for floors at the moment. Was talking to a local supplier today who said that they were measuring a good few houses and i asked if he'd do a group discount. He was interested and said this was done on other developments.

    Anyone any interest?

    We are going to go with The Flooring Mill who did the showhouses. Great idea on discount though.

    We've got a house in what I think they're calling phase "1B". Haven't got quotes for flooring yet as they're saying we're still a few months from snagging, but would certainly be interested if you have any more details on that. Sounds like a win-win!

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