Ledwill Park

Does anyone know why the brickwork is a different colour on the new phase? Looks much different..

We were told when purchasing that the brick would be red, they actually had a small wall built in the car park for the show houses showing the new colour of the brick

We weren’t told. Just seen it today. My girlfriend’s really annoyed about it, she hates red brick and at the moment anyway would prefer not to be buying the house

That’s very disappointing, the day we went into the sales office they had a big cardboard poster on the counter of what the house would look like on the exterior as they look nothing like the show house that was on view, they then told us to go look at the sample wall in the car park if we wanted to see what the brick finish would look like.

As for the next phase as far as I know they will look slightly different again, I can’t find the document now but prior to purchasing I spent afew nights looking at all planning documentation for the development on Kildare planning website and from memory there was a different look for each phase.

Every phase the brick work will be different.

They wanted the estate to have a different look for every phase, that's what I heard anyways.

We are The Park and were told today they expect we will snag in September and be in by mid-October, but that The Way will be later than that. Worth giving Jennifer a call, she is happy to speak to people.

Thanks for the reply. We’ve since heard from Jennifer who’s told us November. So I reckon we’ll be a Christmas week rush job...ha To be fair, we’ve been down to the site and there’s great progress. We’re the first block beside the creche and the scaffolding has gone up

Look into mortgage protection and home insurance asap.
The bank your getting the mortgage with usually offer both. I know KBC had both products on offer.

The mortgage provider will organise that. They will touch base with you about it as the valuer has to be on their panel.

BER is usually provided by the Developer when contracts are exchanged. Ask your solicitor to request a copy of it for you.

Took me 10 weeks to get mortgage protection due to a really bad/ possible permanent back injury I have, if you have In anyway a medical or physical condition go much earlier than a month. We started September and only got it sorted in December due to constant back and forth between the GP and insurance.

Thanks, when you provide all they need, do they delay putting the policies in force and charging you till you actually move in?

I've been looking into what we need to provide before drawdown and wondering if anyone has any idea on it -

Mortgage Protection & Home Insurance - I assume that both of these can be put in place about a month before drawdown, it's not normally before then

Valuation - Anyone know how this is organised and when. Is it Sherry Fitz that you contact to get the valuation done? Is this done around the time of snagging?

BER Rating Cert - I assume Glenveagh provide this and we can request it around the time of snagging?

Thanks

We went to mortgages.ie for our mortgage protection, dealt with Alyson. They were great and gave us loads of options. It is in place now and we just have to let them know when to activate the policy, but it's ready to go. Took us a week or 2 to sort. Would highly recommend them though. We went with Zurich.

Hi all, I was just having a look at the most recent planning permission that was granted for the change in house types and density. Anyone who has bought on The Way, particularly towards the bottom of the road, I would suggest having a look in case you had looked up the previous planning. The house types facing those houses have changed x

We bought on The Park, but just had a look and it looks like they put in more detached types opposite to The Way, am I correct here? Looking at the Various condition document from 20th of May.

There's a couple of maisonettes in the next phases it seems, according to the planning, including a few on the Way. There doesn't seem to be many 4 or 5 beds either. All of the houses seem to come with sheds from the next phase onwards too.

Hi, would you mind sharing which document this is? Looking at the planning here and can't seem to find the updated map?

This is the one I found for the next phase with the house types. I think that's the most up date one as far as I can see. It's easily viewed on laptop as apposed to on phone.

Hi all, just put a booking deposit down for a Moorhen type house on the Way. On the cancellation list for a sanderling C as we'd like the ability to convert the attic space at some point down the line and have been told that the Moorhen is unsuitable for this. Does anyone know if this is purely due to the lack of a window being in place or is the attic space itself a different height to the sanderling?

Thanks

Hi Robert the moorhen seems to be a longer narrower type house than the sanderling. I would guess it’s to do with the layout of the attic and configuration of the stairs in those houses

Hi all, put a deposit down on a house at The Way. Looks like a nice development and excited to get the ball rolling on this. House type 'The Swallow'. Reading up on it now through boards it seems people are mentioning different brickwork and density than previous phase. Anything I should be worried about? I tried to look it up on the county council website but can't find much document wise, if anyone has examples that'd be great. Thanks!

Tolow has a pic of one of the house types on the previous page that shows the brickwork for this phase

I put a deposit for a Heron type house and planning permission on KCC looks different from glenveagh floor plans. There is quite a dramatic change. The ensuit is missing on the top floor. Can anyone advise on this?

One more question, after you gave your solicitors details, roughly how many days after did your solicitors receive the contracts?
