Rahillion, Donabate - New build

alexey · 06-06-2018 5:39pm

Hi, everyone.

We are happy to share with you that we are about to get Sales Contract closed and will get keys on 12th of June.

As I mentioned in my previous post, that it is impossible to finish new house without any issues. And only thing that differentiates decent builder with High Standard culture from another - it is how willing they are ready to get issues fixed and get customer satisfied.

I found that our builder in general and foremen Gordon and Tom in particular takes care of their customers very carefully and are very open to any questions being raised during snagging process.

Hereby, I would like to express my gratitude and would highly recommend Ballisk to everyone and of course to those purchasers who are about to make a decision whether to go ahead with Ballisk or not.

Thank you,

Hi - we are looking at buying on Rahillion Drive. The plot has a north facing garden and I wonder if anyone on here is already in one of the houses with a north facing garden and how you find it? I've never considered it as a big deal and like the fact there isn't any development directly behind us, but I've had a few comments that have made me doubt myself.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am sure that someone has already got connected to Virgin Media.
Could you please share or experience?
How did they do connection, as Virgin requires coaxial outlet to be installed in house, but we have RJ45 sockets only.

Do they pull in any new cables next entrance door or any other stuff?

Regards,

Hi Alexey,

We had Virgin media installed during the week. Our service didn’t work due to internal cable damage but they are coming to run new cabling tomorrow.

We have two coaxial cables in the termination boxes at the side of the house, these run up to a box in the hot press and then can be patched to two bedrooms, kitchen and sitting room from there. We have rj45 and coaxial connections in each of these rooms.

Hope this helps.....

Hi, thank you very much will follow up with Virgin.

I found that address in my sales contract (# Rahillion Drive, Donabate, County Dublin) differs from houses on the same street having info from eircode.ie
For instance based in eircode.ie: house #10 on Rahillion Drive has an address: 10 Rahillion Drive, Rahillion, Portrane, Co. Dublin

Could some one clarify that

jester1980 · 28-06-2018 2:19pm

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could pm me a recommendation for a snagger they found good? Just looking for one or two options. Also does someone have anyone who will supply and fit shower doors?
Thanks a mil!

singita · 04-07-2018 1:16pm

Hi, just wondering if anyone has been given a closing date for the Crescent?

thanks

Nikki2510 · 05-07-2018 11:44am

Hi Singita,
we are no 16 and no word yet - last time I asked they said end of july…

Nikki2510 · 05-07-2018 11:47am

Hey

Bit of a random one.. we have a 3 bed in Crescent and the downstairs bathroom has space for washer / dryer - I've been promised that they can fit integrated machines here and doors over them - has anyone managed to do this? and if so was it just a standard sized integrated machines ?

thanks all

Happy17 · 10-07-2018 3:44pm

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has an updated copy of the site plan for the estate?I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Thanks a million

We have 3-bed on Rahillion Drive. and have WVG30461 installed. it is a bit out of dimensions on front as water in/out pipes on rear side hinder to fit washer right to wall. But I believe it depends house by house.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering is anybody from the Crescent planning to move in this week? We are hoping to move in on Friday if we can get all the paperwork through on time. The ESB was installed today according to the builders, who have been brilliant in trying to get us in before their upcoming holidays.

Great news for you Sorcha, I know a few of us are only snagging in the crescent this Thursday, Do you mind me asking how long ago you snagged?

sorchakelly · 17-07-2018 11:58am

Hi

We snagged about 3 weeks ago (Although the ESB wasn't connected back then). We are trying to complete everything this week and get in for the weekend if possible. It's a bit of a rush but fingers crossed.

Tracy

jester1980 · 17-07-2018 12:07pm

good stuff Tracey, good luck with the move and fingers crossed you get in for weekend,

Hopefully we can get in before end of August,

We did our snagging 3 weeks ago, I am going in for re-snagging tomorrow. I am waiting for the builder to give a building complete notification to the solicitor

Pdbeighty1 · 17-07-2018 8:35pm

We re-snagged today. Gordon indicated it would likely be next week before the paper work goes out but they are trying for.this week. Awaiting fingal co co sign off.

Builders holidays shouldnt stop the closing.. so shouldnt be too long before were in...

emmack · 23-07-2018 12:22pm

Hi. Has anyone got notification on when they can move in? Gordon told us all documentation was sent to solicitors on Friday 20th. But now our solicitor is saying they have only received one of 3 required documents. Which is delaying is even further.

singita · 23-07-2018 12:41pm

We are really counting on it being this week. Did your solicitor say when he/she thought it was more likely to be?

thanks!

At least your solicitor is returning your phone call!! I can't get in contact with mine.

Apparently the builders solicitors have promised the outstanding documents by Wednesday, so would be Thursday at earliest to close. But if documents aren't received at that time could push out to Friday or even next week

I know! Myself and my husband are pestering our solicitors, so frustrating

singita · 23-07-2018 1:03pm

Fingers crossed! We are completely packed up and ready to move...and have to be out of our place. So frustrating.

raja_s · 23-07-2018 1:25pm

I am waiting for my solicitor to confirm too.

letter6728 · 23-07-2018 1:45pm

Hi- we are awaiting contract and detailed spec but could someone confirm if the oven is included in the kitchen? I know white goods aren't but wasn't sure if the oven falls within that. Thanks!

jester1980 · 23-07-2018 1:49pm

Hey no the oven isn't included, I believe the first 10 people or so that bought had a few appliances included.

CiaraB85 · 23-07-2018 7:43pm

Hi Guys!

We closed 2 weeks ago and now have our keys. The week we were closing there was a delay with paperwork from the council so maybe this is the same paperwork you guys are waiting for. It only took a couple of days for them to eventually send it through.

Not yet.
That's reallt

That's really helpful thank you. Looks from the four bedroom show house like there's space for a double oven and then the hob, is that what others have put in? We're too late to make changes to the kitchen so will just have to go with what's there.
Thanks again!

When is your house ready? We were able to make some late changes, we just went straight to kitchen place and begged ha, they let us change the color of the cabinets and also the color of the marble top. Added a few things in as well.

Kitchen appliances sorted seperately

Hi

Has anybody received any information about contracts being issued for the Northern side of Rahillion Drive - the latest houses to be given approval by FCC.

Thanks

alexey · 25-07-2018 1:04am

Hi,

Does any one know (or maybe has already done) whether our stairs structure allows to build under stairs storage like pull/push drawers?

Regards,

raja_s · 25-07-2018 2:35pm

Anyone from Crescent have got all the closing documents?

Nope still not heard anything. Getting very annoyed as we need out of current house by 1 August. Going to phone my solicitor tomorrow and find out what delay is.

Just spoke to our solicitors. They haven't heard anything from the builders solicitors in regards to closing documents.

raja_s · 26-07-2018 12:14pm

Does anyone have contact informaion for Ballisk?? Hope the builders holiday is not affecting our closing?

sorchakelly · 27-07-2018 11:20am

No movement for us on the Crescent today as our solicitor is not back in the office until next week. Wondering if anybody else had any luck getting their keys?

PukkaStukka · 27-07-2018 11:23am

Anyone living in Rahillion got an opinion on the "heat to water pump" heating they are using?

jester1980 · 31-07-2018 3:57pm

Any of the Crescent lucky enough to move in?

emmack · 01-08-2018 4:38pm

Yes. We got our keys last Friday (27th) and have moved in. A few other people also got their keys the same day.

mchurc01 · 10-08-2018 8:17am

Hi Guys

Is there anyone else gearing up for the next phase of the Drive due to be finished in Dec/Jan?

Any movement on the contracts from the developer - seems to be going at a snails pace.

Cheers

Hi

I think at this stage this phase won't be completed until at least end March 2019. If not a month or 2 more. Was looking forward to moving in earlier, but since the issue of contracts seems to be taking an eternity, have geared ourselves up for a spring (summer?!) 2019 move.

Cheers

mchurc01 · 17-08-2018 12:58pm

You're kidding!

We were told Oct for move in originally then it was pushed to Nov/Dec - then Dec/Jan

This is taking forever

This sounds brutal. we just put a holding deposit down for the next phase launching this week for Rahillion Park. By the sounds of things it'll be Dec 2019 before we move in.

Have you guys that are waiting for contracts on Rahillion Drive sold your current homes or have you postponed? We told the EA we won't be putting ours up for sale until we have a confirmed closing date/month. Sounds like that may be very hard to tie down.

Will be watching this thread with interest - hopefully you guys get sorted ASAP.

We put a deposit down in July 2017. Still not in, don't hold your breath on timelines.

Wow. I am really sorry to hear it's taken that long for you. Honestly, a longer wait suits us due to baby #2 on the way but 18mts (by the sound of things) seems likely. A bit too long but I guess we'll see how things go.

Are you renting or moving house? If moving, have you sold yet? Seems crazy to expect people to sell up and rent without a clear closing date

We are similar, we've had a deposit down since Sept 17 and still haven't even received contracts. When we paid the deposit we were told we'd be in around May 18, then Sept, then Dec, now its looking like April/May 19. Our mortgage approval has now expired, so we'll have to submit everything again.
