Hi all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for blinds and security alarms for the house? Hoping to move in early next week!

<snip> installed our alarm system for a pretty competitive price. Good job and not so ugly alarm box out front

Hi, has anyone in a type B sourced the mirrors for the bathrooms yet? I just got a quote of over 700 supplied and fitted for the mirrors, with holes cut for lights..

Seems expensive, but I have no idea how much it should cost if im being honest.

Thanks

Boocal2013 · 26-04-2018 9:38pm

Ok just wondering how many houses are occupied or very close to it. Is all the drive in? :-)

Graham · 29-04-2018 11:32am

Mod Note:

Folks, could we keep the recommendations to private message please. Thanks

I'd also appreciate any pointers on this one! 700 does seem pricey.

Looks like ive been pushed back to July/August for the crescent, would have been great to be in for the summer but sure what can you do. At least I can leave getting the garden done until next year ha

Oh no! Were you told why?? Does that mean everyones delayed by 2/3 months?

jester1980 · 04-05-2018 2:39pm

someone sent me a private message here saying they had been told, so I double checked Wednesday, (that's only 3 weeks after I last checked) and the builders confirmed it had been pushed out, said there had been delays with the weather etc.

Just wondering if anyone in the Park has heard this also? Is it just the Crescent or are all the areas delayed by this time?

sorchakelly · 04-05-2018 9:52pm

Hi, has anyone else got an update on the move in date for the Crescent?
We called out last weekend and it seemed like Rahillion Drive was completed.
Really hoping we can move in by the end of June? Does anyone also know is the site open at all on Saturday's to speak to builders?
Thanks!

Sineadch12 · 04-05-2018 10:24pm

Hi Sorcha,
The builder told us about two weeks ago the Crescent is delayed til July/August. It’s because of the winter and something to do with the electricity... I think if that gets sorted quicker they’ll be ready earlier. The showhouse is open tomorrow but not sure if foreman is around.
All the best,
Sinead

Pdbeighty1 · 05-05-2018 8:21am

I was told on monday that the crescent 12-5 are aiming to move in around june which is about a 2 month delay. I guess the other side of the crescent has had a similar delay but lands around the time of the builders holidays etc which pushes it to august.

What time is the show house open today?

raja_s · 05-05-2018 8:42am

I was told last Monday that the crescent move in date to be end of June. I'm in no 8.

Jacdub · 06-05-2018 9:46am

We got in on Friday. Whoop whoop. All I can say folks is, it’s definitely worth the wait. The house is fab and there’s a wonderful sea breeze up here that keeps well insulated house nice and cool. FYI, if your doing any downlights make sure your electrician has a full day or two before the floor person arrives. We had to axe downlights in the living room as the electrician couldn’t get them in before the floors went down. Best of luck to all.

sorchakelly · 07-05-2018 8:35pm

Hi Sinead,

Thank you for that update. Fingers crossed for the end of June so. We will try and get out and talk to the builders this week. Looking forward to moving in and meeting you all in person.

Just incase anyone was waiting and hadn't seen, planning permission was granted on Friday for the houses on the north boundary of the estate. We've had a deposit for a house on the Place since before Christmas but are still waiting on contracts due to the planning permission revisions. Hopefully things accelerate now that the approval is in!

Newhome2019 · 07-05-2018 9:01pm

We are delighted the planning permission went through for the Drive, we can at last get excited. How soon pre/post contracts, can we visit the kitchen provider to make any changes?.

gtj10 · 07-05-2018 9:28pm

We visited a couple weeks back and they were really helpful. It was probably a bit premature considering we don't have contracts yet, but no harm. They made a note of any changes we wanted and said they would be back in touch to confirm everything when the order for the kitchen was sent in from the builder.

Took a drive up the weekend, good lot of the drive houses are now occupied, great to see. The barriers are pushed back beside the crescent now.

Aconnolly87 · 09-05-2018 4:41pm

Hi all , Has any one spoken to the developer about issueing contract for people in phase 3?

I put deposit on house over Christmas on Rahillion Drive a 3 bed.

Also does anyone have a move in date for this phase ?

Kind regards
Aisling

singita · 09-05-2018 4:43pm

Hi

For those who have moved in, how long did it take between snagging and moving in?

Many thanks!

Anne1511 · 10-05-2018 10:59am

Hey guys,

Quick question, we bought the No 5 Rahillion Park last July. When we signed the contract, we were advised that flooring was included everywhere appart from the downstairs bathroom/utility room to allow plumbing.

I contacted Eastwise today to reconfirm few things but the lady is now saying that the flooring is not supplied with the house...

Any of you encountered something similar??

Thanks a mil!

jester1980 · 10-05-2018 11:16am

Hi Anne

Ive actually never hard of flooring included in a house unless a showhouse, have a few friends who have gone into new builds recently and have discussed with them best flooring companies etc.

I know some people got appliances if they were among the first to buy their houses.

Tks

Pdbeighty1 · 10-05-2018 11:20am

The bathroom floors are tiled as per the show house. Is that what they were referring too?

Hi Aisling
I had a call with them on Tuesday, we're in the same boat - deposit put down for Phase 3 of the Drive in late Jan. Was told contracts will be sent to the solicitor by the end of this month - so had to send over our solicitor details that afternoon.
Move in date I was told is now looking somewhere between Jan-Mar 2019
Was hoping for before Christmas but I suppose everything is pushed back due to the bad weather earlier this year

niamhmag · 11-05-2018 8:42pm

Hi Anne,

Great to hear from someone else who bought in The Park! We bought 6 Rahillion Park and were told that flooring isn't included. Just the bathrooms upstairs are tiled.

Just wondering have you heard when they are due to be completed?

Thanks a Mil!

Min89 · 12-05-2018 8:10am

ESB working away this morning in the crescent for those wondering.

Pdbeighty1 · 12-05-2018 10:44am

Great news. Thanks... starting to feel like were on the home stretch now

denisstack · 12-05-2018 10:52am

I was updated yesterday that Rahillion Park (eastern side) is now due for snagging in August.

Does anyone have more updates on Crescent ?

Sineadch12 · 18-05-2018 4:56pm

We asked yesterday and they said should be ready to snag at the start of July

hi sinead, that's great news, are you in first 8 or last 8??

Sineadch12 · 18-05-2018 6:22pm

We’re the last 8, how about yourself?

elliot895 · 19-05-2018 8:37am

Hi all

We moved into the Drive two weeks ago. We’re delighted with the finish of the house although there were some minor issues when moved in, but the builders were more than happy to come back immediately and resolve them. Have found Gordon and his team great to deal with.

On move in dates just a word of warning, expect delays, our date of snag and move in moved quite a few times as the date got closer which didn’t really bother us because we had flexibility on our lease at the time.

Look forward to meeting yas all in rahillion in the coming months

Pdbeighty1 · 19-05-2018 11:11am

I just called out to the site and the crescent was open.. it is almost completely finished. Scaffolding is down off all of the houses.

All of the houses from 12 - 5 are basically finished... ours just needs its driveway to be put in

I was chatting to one of the builders who was saying they have very little left to do, just some ground works, a wall to build into the school and a bit of a tidy up.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows the name and type of the floorboards that were in the 4bed show house? I am trying to find something similar but am not having much luck.

Niamh

AKPJ · 22-05-2018 7:51pm

We got our keys on the Drive - looking forward to moving in once we get our floors down!

A couple of things we still need to do - hoping someone can DM me some recommendations:
1 - Supply and fit shower doors
2 - Install kitchen appliances (including putting on the integrated doors) - we have the appliances ordered

Also, has anyone got broadband in / ordered yet? What are the options? I'd heard Virgin Media was going to be available.

Yeah same as Sinead so hopefully will be similar timing fingers crossed

Pdbeighty1 · 24-05-2018 9:39pm

We got notice of snagging today on the crescent. Just after the bank holiday...

Qwer · 25-05-2018 1:49pm

Hi does anybody have a recommendation by pm of someone to hang light fittings

singita · 28-05-2018 1:55pm

Hi

Just wondering does anyone know how big/small the attics in the 4 beds (semi) are?

thanks

Hi,
Was the integrated dishwasher included?

Pdbeighty1 · 03-06-2018 11:38am

Ok so i have a bit of an update.

I called to make an appointment for snagging which i had agreed with the person doing the snagging based on a date i.got from ballisk.. The builders were concerned it was too late as they had prioritised getting my house ready among the first. So long story short i had to change plan and i ended up snagging on thursday. (31st).

There were some issues, mostly small and a few annoying items.. however, if im being honest the place looked great. It was well finished, had been cleaned and generally exceeded my expectations and its worth noting that i was snagging as there was some pretty heavy building work still going on the green!

Hopefully you all have a similar experience!

FYI there was no ESB so i was snagging on a generator.

We are hopefully getting the keys to our house this week. We went with bathstore and more in swords for shower doors and tiling. Great to deal with. Looking forward to getting in and getting floors down etc. We are delighted with the development and Gordon and the foremen have been great to deal with.

Does upstairs come painted?

singita · 05-06-2018 2:07pm
