I can help with appliances when I get home, measured the washing machine, hob, oven/microwave and maybe the fridge. Not 100% sure about the last one as we plan on getting an american style fridge and will be tuning the fridge space into a pantry.

Measurements for appliances:

Oven:
H97cm x W59cm - thats the entire size for both oven and microwave or if someone wants a double oven - all needs to fit in there.
Hob:
59cm x 52cm
Washing machine/dryer/dishwasher - 2 slots in the utility room:
H87cm x W61cm

Fridge, I didn't measure exactly as we want something free standing but the enclosure is 65cm wide.

Hope this helps.

Irish Water still haven't been out, houses are mostly completed but they are hoping to have Irish Water do their bit end of next week

Integrated dishwashers should be a standard size and same for the fridge, just be sure you're doing the right split on the fridge/freezer, think it should be a 70/30 but that's from memory.

We've the appliances and flooring picked out, just waiting on dates to get the order in

hey mate, did you get measurements for the flooring? thanks

Yep we got the same update. Irish Water due out Thurs/Fri but they said not to bet on it, it could be Mon or Tues they way they operate.

Hi there, I took some measurements from the showhouse too - most match with yours but now I'm wondering did I go wrong somewhere?

I measured the oven (H60cm x W48cm) and microwave (H60cm x W39cm) separately - we're not going for a double oven. Your hob and washing machine measurements match mine, but I measured the fridge as being 59cm wide?

Dishwasher in the island - I didn't measure this, but told it was standard size (i.e. not slimline).

If only Glenveagh gave us the bloody measurements...

Going to order appliances this weekend so my head is wrecked with this!

OctoberMammy · 01-07-2019 1:49pm

Also, does anyone have a measurement for the shower enclosure in the ensuite, by any chance?

Couldn't agree more...when doing the showhouse, they'd have all of the measurements needed for flooring, carpets, appliances etc. so can't understand why this would not be included in a buyers pack

Laurendon · 02-07-2019 11:18am

have bought one of the 4 bed house in the avenue

I noticed on the thread a few things - are shower doors not fitted ? Has anyone been able to get measurements for the 4 beds? I'm not sure if they are the same as the 3 beds?

Brian201888 · 02-07-2019 11:23am

Can't help with the measurements on the 4 bed but shower doors aren't fitted

Laurendon · 02-07-2019 11:27am

thanks Brian ! would anyone have recommendations for were to get shower doors ?

Apparently it's becasue all the houses may vary ever so slightly. So they don't want to commit and give exact measurements and then have us comeback saying a floor is slightly smaller, wider etc.

Don't know why they can't share them with a disclaimer though.

adox · 02-07-2019 11:48am

Is there a second phase of these going up or are they all sold?

Pretty sure I overheard the agent say the next phase and showhouse launches in Sept. Worth double checking of course.

Brian201888 · 03-07-2019 11:55am

Knew everything was going to smoothly! Had a call from Glenvaugh saying Irish Water not coming this week either and the earliest they'll be out is the 22nd but that's even questionable so I'm now thinking an early August close

The 22nd? Crap. That's a pretty big jump from this Friday.

That's very annoying. I expected a delay of some sort, but not such a big one this late! Someone told me the other day to expect delays with bank/solicitor at this time of year, too. Hard to know what to do in terms of sorting childcare, etc.!

Brian201888 · 03-07-2019 2:51pm

Yeah very annoying, we had spoken to them about potentially snagging prior to the water being on to sort out any non-plumbing issues so we'll hopefully do that and then assuming no plumbing issues should be able to close quickly once Irish Water come out.

Sounds like a solution, but does that mean that you'd have to pay for snagging twice? (Before/after water is turned on?)

Brian201888 · 03-07-2019 3:20pm

You would yeah, most places will do a reduced rate for a 2 visit but not sure how flexible they'll be if they need to actually check for new issues the 2nd time as opposed to just coming to check that the original list is sorted.

Haven't actually spoken to a snagged to confirm that side of it yet just an idea we had to speed the process along

La.la.151515 · 06-07-2019 10:03pm

Sorry to be looking for more measurements, but does anyone know the size of the ensuite shower door please?

adox · 07-07-2019 5:00pm

Had a look at these last week and while nice looking houses, just not for us at the moment.
The downstairs is slightly skewed imo. The kitchen diner is a lovely space, really really big and spacious whereas the living room is quite small in comparison. Also the back garden a little on the small side.

Still they look well specced and it’s a lot of house for the money.

Rush imo is currently the best value on the North side of Dublin for what you get and it never ceases to surprise me how “cheap” property is compared to other areas.

tkrysiak · 08-07-2019 2:16pm

22nd for the Irish Water work to be done? I assume that means no one was able to get the snagging done?
I am in the back row on Knightsgate crescent and was originally told the completion date would be August, recently that has changed to end of September.

Dommi1 · 08-07-2019 3:38pm

We are also in Knightsgate Crescent and the last I was told was end August/ beginning September. I am just quite disappointed by the lack of communication from the developer/ agent.

I was informed last week that we would be able to complete our snag end July

I totally agree on the communication. As for the end of September date, I got it from Dermot himself as we had a chat at Taste of Fingal two weeks ago.

has anyone had any updates on move in dates ?

Last I heard is they're still waiting on Irish Water. If by next week they haven't arrived, they're gonna look at letting people snag early.

Glenveagh said they are supposed to have a report ready by Friday but that’s pretty much been the same thing for the last couple of weeks now.

I got in touch with Brian Dennehy from FF to understand what is holding things up.

He has a meeting with IW tomorrow and said he’s let me know after this.

This builder just sold most of the housing stock in Taylor Hill and an estate in Donabate to Irish Reits so be careful they don't do the same in Rush.

There are a lot of second hand houses that are lower in price that you can put your stamp on. Maybe have a look there. You could get a lot for 330k.

This is good advice. Fingal currently seems to be either buying itself or the buy- to -let companies buy and Fingal places people in them - and Rush and Donabate seem to be on the hit-list.

You could end up in an estate with few private owners and believe me, its not snobbery just pure truth to say that it changes the nature of any development

Not the most helpful/relevant post on a thread of people talking about the houses they've just bought in this estate :rolleyes:

And yes, sorry. It is snobbery. I grew up on a council estate and I turned out just fine... I've also spent most of my adult life renting other people's 'private' houses without lowering the tone of the neighbourhood :rolleyes:

Graham · 16-07-2019 11:59am

Mod Note

Folks, unless there is something to suggest this development is likely to be sold off in large chunks it's probably better to take the "REITs/LA are buying everything" discussion off this thread.

I have recently purchased a 3-bed in the development; having lived in Rush all my life, there is no place like home.

Good to hear people seem to getting some sort of update on the Irish Water "hook up"!

I have flooring dimensions: (give or take with off-cuts, you're looking at just over 90 m2 for entire house.

DOWNSTAIRS
Kitchen: 17ft x 14.5ft (minus 6ft x 3ft Island; 2 m2 you wont be flooring)

Hall: roughly 19ft in lenght (split as 8ft x 6ft at entrance, and 11ft x 3ft along stairs)

Living room: 12.5ft x 13.5ft

Understairs should be maybe cleared in may 1.5 m2 of flooring.

UPSTAIRS
Master Bed: 12ft x 12ft

Bed 1: 10ft x 10ft
Bed 2 (Box): 10ft x 8.5ft

Landing 6ft x 12ft

Irish Water now week of the 2nd August and they reckon they are confident it'll close by the end of August which is a joke.

Heard the same.Snagging wk of Aug 6th.

You think end of August is unlikely for closing? No experience of this before myself.

Thanks

Brian201888 · 18-07-2019 5:21pm

No I don't think it's unlikely, more a joke that it's being pushed back so often over the same issue. We're snagging next week to try and speed the process up when Irish Water finally do their bit. Snagger seemed confident that they could got most of the likely issues without water

Cool. Yeah it is annoying that Irish Water can hold up everything.

It just better happen on that date now!

TedsRevengeP · 19-07-2019 11:57am

Just for clarity since things now seem closer.

What are the next steps to get closed out and into the house.

Snag
Snag list to builder.
Snag check/sign off.
Some sort of paperwork stuff from Glenveagh
Paperwork to solictior/bank
Draw down mortgage
Get keys

Anyone recommend someone good to do the snag?

Brian201888 · 23-07-2019 1:09pm

We've just snagged today used <SNIP>, they've to send the report through tonight but Joy seemed fantastic, very thorough.

Good news on the Irish water front, they are on site and working away, our house had the water switched on while we there. Immediate small leak in the downstairs bathroom but immediately fixed so all looking good!

No issues found in the snag outside of cosmetic stuff so the build quality seems to be up to standard

Knightsgate, Rush
