Ye they seem to be slow with getting back with any queries.

I just had a look at the sdcc website there thanks for that! I didn't no they were building apartments at the entrance too, they kept that quiet. Have you heard back anything since signing the contracts or have they said how long it would be until they contacted you again?

Yes, there is a small block there, referred to as Block B. Its there in the brochure but it will not be built until later in the development phase. From planning:

8 duplex/apartment units (referred to as Block

consisting of 4 three bedroom duplexes, 3 two bedroom duplexes and 1 one bedroom apartment ranging in size from 54sqm to 111sqm in a 3 - 4 storey residential block.

Yea it's just not very clear in the brochure, but I guess duplexes aren't to bad as there isn't many of them either. Thanks for that.

Hi,

I put down a deposit on a 3 bed on Shackleton Way back in May.We signed the contracts last week with the solicitor and Hooke & McDonald are telling us the house will be ready around November but I am thinking it could be late December or January before we move in.

Does anybody know if the hall floor and kitchen floor come tiled? I know the bathrooms are tiled but just trying to plan ahead.

Hi,
We put a deposit on Shackleton way in may too just waiting to sign the contracts. We were originally told November and then told January So not sure I would say it will be after Christmas.

The hall, kitchen and bathrooms are all tiled.

If you don't mind me asking are you the first set of houses been built on Shackleton Way? That's grand just so I know as we requested a few things from the developers and still waiting.

No were more towards the end of the road so that could be why they are saying later to us. If your on the first row then I would say it easily could be done before Christmas. The last time we drove up it looks like there is about 4 houses nearly built.

Did you sign before hearing back from there solicitors? Our solicitor requested a few things on the 8th of June and we are still waiting to hear back from them so we haven't signed our contracts yet.

No problem. You are right though that its not very clear, block B is not marked on the brochure unlike block A which has a name on the block Shackleton Hall.

Yeah we are the first row so it could be before Christmas. There Solicitors said last Friday was the final date we could sign the contracts so we signed on Thursday. I drive past the site every morning and it look's like the houses are flying up.

We were looking for a layout plan of the sockets but the builders have said they can't put any extra ones in but will send on a layout in the next few days.

Oh really, we were originally told we had to sign after 3 weeks but when our solicitor got the contracts he sent them a list of questions back at the start of June and we still haven't heard back. Hooke&MacD have called us asking why we haven't signed but we said we're waiting on them otherwise we're ready to sign. I wonder will they call us now and say we need to sign regardless.

Yea they seem to be going up fairly quick, I'm hoping they don't take longer than 6 months. Did you contact the builders directly for the socket plan? Do we get to make any changes internally or get options for anything do you know since you've signed?

Yeah we were the same but it was around 8 or 9 weeks after putting the deposit down that we signed the contracts. We kind of panicked when we heard their solicitors told us we had to a certain date to sign the contracts so we got everything over the line and just signed. Our Solicitor was happy with everything which was grand!

No I contacted Hooke& McD and they contacted the developers. I don't think we do have a choice as I was told the kitchen is the same kitchen as the show house in Park Side and the kitchen is been fitted by Nolan Kitchens.

Ok, I might call them to try hurry them up, it was nothing major our solicitor asked anyway just all small queries.

Yeah I seen the kitchen in parkside and loved it anyway so I'm happy, I just know some places give you a few standard colours for tiles and worktop etc so was curious to whether we would.

Hey, put a deposit on a C type house this week, tried to get answers to a number of questions with no reply.

Can anyone answer the following:
Management fees are €500, but what do they include and if bins are included where are the bin sheds going in the estate?
Also the mamnagment fees can be increased at anytime and who looks after the new roads being built just outside traffic lights etc.

Can house type C have an attic conversion?

The “store” room in the plans for house type C, does this incorporate the hot press or is it just a store room?

The only problem I see so far is the Managment company, I'd get as much info as possible in contracts.

Thanks in advance.

Hi (neighbors :-) ),

We put a deposit on C-type-end in mid May. Contract is still with our solicitor, hoping to get their "Go" this/early next week.
We live in this area (Airlie Heights) for last 9 years and having dealt with mental second-hand property market for over 2 months this was rather no-brainer to go with Shackleton (no second thoughts about traffic, distance to village, shops etc). For us nothing changes location-wise except finally paying own mortgage (and of course living in 30 y.o. vs new build).

I'd also love to hear more about management fees, what's included and is this final (Parkside folks didn't get this unwanted "luxury")?

I also put a deposit on a Type C haven't signed contracts yet. Not sure of all the answers to you questions. I do know that the store room contains a boiler but it's quite a decent sized space for storing too

With regards the attic conversion the agent said something along the lines of" he could never say the type c attics could never be converted but that whatever way the tresses are in the attic it would be difficult to convert"

My solicitor said bins were included in the management fee and that the management company decide what bin company we will have. So we will have to see I suppose. Hope that helps.

Have you been told anything about the kitchen I'm the type C house. The show house kitchen was to the back and there was a small window so the counter top lined up with it. In our houses the kitchen is the front and there is a large window so I'm guessing will you see the back of the units from the front window?

Normally the entirety of a person's rights and obligations are spelt out definitively, alongside those of the Management Company towards the owners of leases, in the contracts.

You have to be cognisant- there is a small block of apartments/townhouses in the development- and there is also a stated intention to ascribe assigned on street parking to units.

Normally- at this initial stage in the development- a low Management Charge is set- covering the basics (probably just insurance at this stage)- and then other services- refuse collection, lighting, sink fund etc- get tagged on, as the development comes to completion.

You do need to get the rights and obligations of both the leaseholders, and the Management Company- tied down in the contracts.

Once the development is complete- keep in mind- the owners of the leases, are the shareholders of the Management Company. It would be particularly helpful if owner-occupiers were to familiarise themselves with the MUD Act- and attend the AGM and put themselves forward to run the Management Company in as constructive a manner as possible for the betterment of all residents.

Nastygal2511 · 13-07-2017 8:25am

Atleast the bins are covered. We should set up a Facebook group for members of the estate. Would be nice to have a sense of community in the area

I was told that the kitchen will be placed to the back of the house with the living/dining area at the front of the home. So your window at the back will be high and low window to the front.

The attic conversion is a problem also as expansion is a huge part of buying a home, and the management company will have the say so If you ever wish to expand.

That's my worry, what will the start to include in the fees and subsequently what will the fee rise to? Could easily be €1,000 over the course of a year.

Yes, it is the apartment complex and duplexes that require a lot of maintenance work etc, which could easily increase the cost of management fees!

However- the flipside of the coin is- were you to pay for refuse and building insurance (alone) separately- it would most certainly cost you more than €1,000 per year. A thousand a year- is a low management charge.

That is true but there is no end to what the price could rise to, also regarding the road network around the area is that the management companies responsibility.

For example traffic lights at the entrance etc:

Hi all,

We purchased the type D house. Put down booking deposit in May and are signing contracts tomorrow. Has anyone else bought the type D house? There was no show house for this style in Parkside and there are no pictures of the kitchen on the website. Finding it hard to get details off Cairn. As regards parking our driveway, seems to be at the side of the house. Was anyone else told this? We expect to get the keys in November based on what we have been told. I think a Facebook group would be a great idea as suggested by a previous poster.
Thanks

audi5 · 13-07-2017 10:35am

Buying a 4-bed type A house. Put down deposit back in May and signed this week. I was not given any hard date for signing but did get a couple of calls from solicitor and agent.

I have been to Parkside showhouses a couple of times and was quite impressed with the build and layout. Type A is very similar to Type E in Parkside. At 165 SqM its a lot of house for 370K and IMO better value and build than others being built in the area close to the station.

Re. management fees, I have looked at the draft budget and fees are just under 400 for 3/4 bed houses, and just over 400 for 5 beds. Apartment however are in 1500-1600 range depending on the beds etc.

Houses fee include refuse but do not include property insurance, and there is a small provision for sinking fund. They have done a separate budget for houses and apartments, as apartments fees obviously contain insurance and more common areas to maintain.

Draft budget and fees seemed reasonable to me given that just refuse collection can cost 300, but managing agent fees seemed bit steep. I am on the board of another management company and we are paying lot less to managing agent there, but Shackleton is a much bigger development.

We found by accident that the layout of the A type house in the whole dev was amended in Feb or March this year and does look a little different in the brochure compared to the sdcc. The ridge height has changed and the bedroom on second floor is now bigger. That's relying on me interpreting the planning docs correctly!

You are correct - both Type A and B were amended earlier this year. Type A area has increased from 150 to 165 sqm, height changed and look at top floor window is different. Main internal changes are to first and second floors - bigger rooms. I believe layout in brochure reflects the amended application so its up to date.

From planning:

House Type A - amended layout of permitted 4 bedroom house resulting in increase in overall floor area from 150sq.m to 164sq.m (73 units), increase in ridge level from 10.155m to 10.975m and minor modifications to elevations including change of box dormer window to apex style dormer window;

House Type B - amended layout of permitted 3 bedroom house resulting in increase in overall floor area from 110sq.m to 114sq.m (reduction in number of units from 67 to 66 units), increase in ridge level from 9.403m to 9.89m and minor modifications to elevations;

I also see from planning that they are putting what seems to be a small storage room off the living room. It seems unusual but interesting to see how they are maximising every inch of space!

Sinking fund contribution is 10K.

Sinking fund is "rainy day" fund for the management company and its already part of your management fee. You don't need to make any additional contribution.

Now that I have looked at updated planning spec for Type A again, there is no door there. It is there on last year's out of date spec.

So it seems they have changed the layout again to give us additional storage space. Personally I would rather not have that door/store as there is already space for storage on first and second floors.

Not exactly- have a look at the MUD Act- a contribution to a development's sink fund is in addition to a Management Charge, the Act states that for simplicities sake it may be levied and collected as one fee- it is however legally a different contribution and must be accounted for as such by the Management Company when levied.

It looks like every house has rear or side access to garden spaces, like in parkside. My guess is that we get individual bins. My belief is that refuse is included anybody else??

Refuse is included in management fee. But if you have a mid-terrace you may want to check again to see if you get side or rear access.

Why would everyone have rear or side access? Is there a "lane" at the rear of the homes?

There is a lane yes for terraced homes and they all enter into it, or so it looks. End of terrace and semi ds have their own access it looks like. It's on the sdcc planning docs. I'll see if I can upload the right one.

Sorry file can't be uploaded is over 4mb. The file number is 2801590 on the sdcc website when searched under cairn homes. Should be able to zoom in on the site plan. I was reading the yellow shaded areas to be rear and side access. Garden sizes are also published which is interesting.

I was looking at the map on the brochure but can't find any lane for the terraced homes? We are a mid terrace so interested to see if they do put a lane way where you store your bins.

Did you view the show houses in parkside? They had a little lanes at the back of the mid terrace to allow for wheelie bins.
