I thought the same but no they are all painted. But they leave the sconces unfinished which is really odd

Thanks for replying... I'm back down there on Monday to do our snag.. which was supposed to be last week but the painter is still in there.. I'm absolutely fuming over it, I know it's only a small detail but it was never mentioned to us. We just presumed it would be the same as in the show house and on pictures so I'm definetly bringing it to their attention... also the stairs is destroyed in run marks from the paint... how is the finish on your house? Did you find any faults ?

Yeah mine is painted too but ball at end not. Overall I found finish was good but I didn't go turn key so was little to finish. I had toilet issues and ended up getting manufacturer of toilet out to sort it but got sorted eventually. Laurie is good to be fair to her but any plumbing issues I would ensure are sorted before money realeased cos I found them a nightmare.

Thanks I will definetly mention this to our snagger tomorrow

Any sign of broadband yet?

Just checked on the eir website and they're saying that FIBER TO THE HOME is available.

Oh thanks for checking! That’s great news

Is it just me that seems to be having toilet and plumbing issues. Moved in in January and have a leak in downstairs toilet. After much investigation it appears a small hole has formed and now Everytime flushed it floods place.

This damage could only have happened as a result of a faulty toilet but now plumber is saying it is a result of it being moved etc whereas it clearly isn't due to where it is. I am at my wit's end arguing with plumber. Everything is a battle with them even when it is their sub standard work and shoddy goods installed. And then when they do bother to call there is a serious attitude. Had a leak in kitchen, under bath, a toilet that flushed constantly of it's own accord and then a pipe that wasn't finished outside and yet head plumber stated he signed off on my house himself.

I have a new house where downstairs bathroom can't be used. I think it is time to get my solicitor involved as the toilet is inferior in quality and once money is handed over plumbers etc don't seem to give a rats ass. Be very aware of any plumbing issues

Does anyone have Laurie's number? I've just bought a house in the Green (Phase 3) - John said they hope to have everyone moved in by Christmas but I'm worried reading all these delays from previous phases and also the HTB scheme ends this year so I'm screwed if I dont draw down by then! Hoping to get Laurie's number for answers

I read online somewhere that Revenue will still pay out help to buy claims until March 31st that have been approved before December 31st.

We’re viewing a show house next Wednesday and hoping to put down a deposit for The Green and will be using help to buy too.

Did you go with the turnkey package? If so was there much included in this phase?

They can draw down the help to Buy amount once the contracts are signed and you pay the rest of the deposit. So if you’re not in until the new year the help to Buy will still apply.

Do you know if they’ve changed the floor plans on the Green? Looking online it seems they’ve removed the ground floor extension. Hoping to get in for a viewing in the next few weeks.

Only the first two have the ground floor extension of kitchen with the velux window. All the rest don't. There is also no show house without the extension bad velux as far as I know so I would be skeptical as what you are going to view is not what you will be purchasing

Hi all,
So I was down this week for a viewing and they still have the larger 3 bed available but it would be the Birch that I’d need to wait for.
Quite liked the property and the estate seems nice and quiet. For those of you that have bought there how are you finding the town/village? Do you find you’re venturing out to the likes of Kildare/Newbridge a lot? Any issues with anti social behavior etc?
Also for those that commute to Dublin by car are you finding it long?

Thanks

Been down to view the houses twice in the last 5 weeks and finally made the decision we are going to go with one (Type A)........until I came across this tread and now I'm undecided 😭

Is there broadband available in all areas of the estate?

Do the council look after the estate or is that still up in the air based on previous comments??

What are people's bills like that live there currently. Mainly referring to the LPG, really disappointed over that as I assumed gas was gas 🀔

Has anyone on here bought the type a house? How do the find it, any regrets not going with type b? The extension seems huge and an awful lot more than the 5 m2 stated on the pricing sheet I was presented. The type A's I'm looking at are west facing back garden which is a major plus and also the house is fully built where as the type B's are not built and east facing back gardens.

The show house is always going to be fantastic and spacious, but almost feel they don't have a Type A showhouse on purpose.

Would love to hear as much feedback as possible people have as I continue to read all the comments on the thread.

Hi, just curious if you still went ahead and bought in Old Grange Wood?
Myself and my partner are hoping to buy later in the year as there are more phases being added.
Was there a major price difference between Type A and Type B? Did you manage to sort internet?

Just curious to get some feedback, we've been to the area and its lovely but will view inside the show houses next week with John.

Any help would be great (that's if you still decided to move in )

Thanks

Hi, does anyone who bought have any feedback. Are you happy in the estate. Was the gas/broadband sorted eventually?

From what I know all broadband is working now. We are in the elms and ours is great. Took a while but have it over 12 months now
