We felt house prices had peaked and a lot of the current phase on sale hadn't sold before the outbreak. Possible delay in finishing dates also put us off. Very possible these houses wont be finished until at least Christmas now. Is the playground guaranteed to be built? The opening of additional pedestrian entrances might be delayed due to ongoing construction? But I don't know for sure just a guess. Estate seems very nice

I saw this on the KCC Planning website:modifications to the existing entrance and the existing footpath and cycle lane to the western side of the R449 in order to provide a new left-in left-out vehicular access including pedestrian and cycle access from the R449 to an internal access road and junctions to facilitate the future development of "Collinstown Business Campus" together with public lighting, landscaping and associated services on its lands

Looking at the plans I see no 2beds so just wondering if anyone knows what house type these are? Or why they’re 100k less?

We have a few questions that we hope can be answered by buyers :-) How accurate have they been with completion estimates for those of you who bought there? Obviously, COVID-19 might have had a significant impact to some potential buyers so we're hoping no phase two of that craic. Is there anyone here on the forum that can tell me if they had any luck with suggesting any tweaks to the builder? i.e. door position of living room, bigger utility room, socket in attic? Also, does anyone know how many access points there are for Home Internet? Is there anyone here on the forum that bought the "Louisa" type house and has a stairwell that runs parallel to the living room as opposed to being "behind" the living room? Will be taking a trip out the show-house again next week for a look. TIA

I was hoping someone would have some insights on the pedestrian/cycling access between the state and R449, in front of the 52 to be more exact. Is it confirmed? Or would they need an extra permission to do that? During our visit we also noticed a partially built access on the Grove, beside the 04/09. Are they looking to open that anytime soon? I'll probably use the train daily, so having a quick access to R449 would be ideal. It would also reduce significantly the take it takes to get to Lidl.

We started the process early in the year so we needed to re apply for mortgage before actually getting the house. The problem is that we don't know if the banks will allow us to drawn the money as we are receiving covid payments so... quite frustrating.

maon04 wrote: » About the bigger utility room... no. In the Louisas the utility room is in the kitchen and only with space for a washing machine+dryer and perhaps few cabinets. To be honest I think the space is fair. Shelf on top of the machines is included.
MauriceRKK wrote: » Is that confirmed? It will be slap bang in front of #51 / 52 by the looks of it, which might help with getting to Louisa Station a bit quicker, but would like to know if any future traffic calming is planned (speed bumps, traffic lights). There doesn't seem to be anything on the Kildare County Council planning site to that effect.
