We will not have adequate supply in 18 months, even if they started building en masse tomorrow. For the foreseeable, the only way is up for house prices. I'd expect Cork to continue to rise as more people relocate from Dublin.

Pretty much all the new builds are outside of my price range or are located way too far out and any second hand properties in our preferred locations would require extensive works. I know that there is always the option to venture further out of the city / suburb area but the prospect of commuting from Macroom or Mallow just does not appeal to us as we are a single car family at the moment and would ideally like to use public transport where possible.

The planning file mentions a unit offsite, in Carrigaline village to comply with Part V requirements.

Having only ten houses has it's merits but it feels so detached from everywhere else around it despite having a feel of a large housing estate. Having one less house here and giving a bit more space to each house would have worked I think. I see on the planning file that one house will go to Cork County Council. If it had been nine houses they would not have been required to do that. Although I suppose they just wanted to fit in what they could in the space and probably knew they'd get that kind of asking price in any case. I just don't see what sets this apart from Janeville or Castle Heights.

The developer began by building the first 5, and is now starting on the second 5. I believe he expects the last houses to be handed over in about 16 months (I'd never believe any builder when they say this though). Chimneys aren't a thing in some new build developments (Janeville has none). I fully agree regarding the layout. I'm in the same boat as you, and that is turning me off a bit. If I'm to trade up, I think I would like at least 2 living rooms on the ground floor, not including the living space attached to the kitchen. The Janeville 4 bed detached will go on the market at about €450k and will have a very similar layout to these. The quality of finish in Abbeylane will be much higher though, eg the corner window in the back room compared to normal windows in Janeville. Overall I think the houses are really nice, and if you don't need a dedicated playroom downstairs than the layout should be ok. South facing gardens too. By the time they're finished the new western relief road will be opening so traffic might be a bit better too. I'm sorry I can't help you with some of your more technical queries
