You should post this in the Wicklow forum and you might get a few responses

I bought one in the first phase, i lived in greystones for over 2 years and loved it but we couldnt afford to buy there.
We got in to view a show house around December they are built really well im very happy and cant wait to move in. newtown is a nice quiet area

Thanks a lot for the reply. Very helpful. I am working in Dublin City. So, I am just worried about the commute everyday once everyone gets back to office. Do you know whether the bus 133 from there is reliable? Appreciate any inputs. Another option we are considering is Hansfield homes. Looks like there is a train from that location.

The 133 is reliable in that it usually shows up. The Newtown stop is one of the last stops before hitting the N11 to Dublin so if it's late going through Wicklow it will be late to Newtown. The real time isn't great to you might also not know it's not showing up until an hour has passed and it's a no-show. When you do get on it, if you need to be in the city for 9am, definitely get the bus earlier than you think you need to as the N11 is always chaotic for years pre-pandemic. So yea - it's reliable enough but traffic is dire.

Hey folks,

What are the prices of the 3 beds do you know?

Hi

I just wanted to bump this up as I'm waiting for a house in Phase 2 to be completed and am trying to organise floors, painters and all the rest of it!

We've been told it'll be Feb next year but as its been pushed out a few times already, I'm not sure I believe it. is there a way of getting a realistic timeline or do we just have to hope for the best that it'll be done soon? Is it the case that we have to wait for all the houses in the row to be done?

we're in the same boat so! we actually did manage to get in right before Christmas to measure everything and there is a good bit of work to inside (plus all the garden, landscaping, access road) so I think 6 weeks from now is optimistic

i suppose we'll just have to sit tight for now!

Hiya, I know they've started on a new batch (as I live close) but its literally just digging foundations etc so a long way off before they'll be done. You could check with Rory Fenlon as he's the estate agent for this

Hi all,

My partner and I are currently looking into buying in the next phase of rockfield and have a few questions. I saw on this thread that phase 2 was bought off plans, I was just wondering if there was any opportunity to view a show house before this. Also, in regards to the launch, was it a virtual launch due to covid or was there an in person launch?Also, for anyone that’s bought in the previous phases, how have you found the area and the houses? We are currently living in Dublin and my partner is from wicklow but neither of us are too familiar with the area. Thanks in advance for any help it’s really appreciated .

Hi there,

We are in the same boat as yourself haven’t really heard much from the estate agent. They couldn’t give any specific dates or prices etc.

hi - would it be possible for you to share measurements of the end terrace if you have these and any pictures. We're thinking of going for the open plan layout for the ground floor, not sure if others have decided to go with that - would love to see pictures of how it would look like. we went in last July to see a showhouse from Phase 1 before they were handed over - but the open plan layout house we saw had ongoing plaster works so couldnt really get a nice view.

Hi mobattack

I took measurements for the floors about 2 weeks ago. When I get home form work I'll do a little sketch and try upload it here. We didn't for for the open plan living room though. We went with a little entrance lobby inside the front door and then a door into the living room.

The foreman told us all going well we can snag the house mid to end of April.

Hi Jessm, Phase 2 launched early April 2021, with a planned completion date of Feb/March 2022 - that has now been pushed to October 2022.

Also on the site plan I see a creche there, has this been build as part of phase 1 or 2?

Hi there - I was just chatting to the estate agent there about our snagging and he said next phase would be opening up in a week or two. He also said prices have jumped since last phase

In terms of timeline....I just checked back and we signed contracts to buy in Oct 2020 and are finally snagging next week!

I was down at the site today. That's a picture from 33 to 40. Water and electric is connected to my property. Shouldn't be much longer until they are ready

I was in my house this morning. It's fully second fixed, kitchen fitted all the bathrooms done except for shower door not fitted in the ensuite. But that's boxed up in the room. Water at every tap and electricity is on. Biggest job left I can see is the fences in the back garden isn't done but none of them are on that row. I sent an email today to the estate agent asking if they can push for a date we can do a snag. Its great you can get yours done. Must be a relief knowing things have stated moving again.

Got onto them yesterday after I got back from the site. The got in touch to day and our snag is booked for the 31st of this month. Thankfully moving forward again at last. Hope all goes well with your snagging and you get your keys asap.

Also sale agreed 5th October 2020 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Will do.

Hey, applied today for next phase I wonder how long before hearing if successful. Does anyone know from previous phases how long before they got an update? Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know what’s included in kitchen. Eg fridge, freezer etc??.

the house comes with a fitted kitchen and wardrobe in the master bedroom. The kitchen has a few options / extras that Kube Interiors (the kitchen and wardrobe contractor) can guide you through.
