    apologies

    planning Ref 2679/16 last page look at the last few documents one refers to units in future phase although there is no planning application made

    or if you just search under Parkside, each phase seems to have different planning application.

    For the ones who have just booked the house. Did you asked if Cairns has applied as qualifying contractor for the help to buy scheme? I just read an article saying they were not qualified and the parkside, as of now, wouldn't be able to benefit from the rebate

    Will there be access to Belmayne Avenue or the Hole in the Wall road from the development (pedestrian / car)?

    To hole in the wall pederastia will open next month, is already done, and for car I guess by the end of the year. To belmayne will be whenever they do the n3xt phase, you can see them on the map in the show houses

    Hi,

    Any folks out there that are living in the A type house? Do you know where the solar inverter is located?
    Is it in the attic?
    Any chance you can post a photo/video of the attic please?
    Curious about space available there and also if the solar inverter is located there.

    Thanks :)

    Quick question: does any one know if there is a management company associciated with this estate - will there be an extra contractural cost when signing? Or will the council ultimately take care of the estate? Thanks.

    The sales people told me that there were no management fees and the care is down to Dublin City Council.

    Hi ! Does anyone know or have the experience of paying just the reservation and got delayed in paying the rest of the deposit? Was the kitchen appliances forfeited? I know it says on the contract the 10% should be paid within 3 weeks after reservation..but are they that strict?

  • Registered Users Posts: 267 ✭✭ciarraioch1


    Apparently the contracts won't be ready until March (according to the sales lady on site yesterday). That might give you time to get the balance of the deposit together and avoid losing the kitchen appliances.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26 Nedyaj


    Thanks for the info.im just thinking ahead.. I'm still waiting for the mortgage approval and help to buy scheme...

    Hey guys,

    We put down deposit on a 3 bed detached house from phase 2.
    The estimated completion date is July 2017.

    Few questions:

    How good are the developers with sticking to the schedule?
    Are there roads that lead to Belmyane Ave/ The Hold in the wall Road for easy bus/dart access?
    What mode of transportation do you guys who are already living there use?
    How's the traffic during rush hours? For example from Parkside to Connolly Station by car?
    Is the noise from the water motor really annoying?
    Overall, what's the impression about the area with regards to people, cleanliness, facilities, safety?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 felixespixie


    Hi
    We are very interested in Parkside, place looks lovely and appears to be well maintained.
    The agent mentioned that you could arrange for the builder to supply and fit the floor which isn't included, has anyone done this? Any thoughts
    Any advice from people already living there,
    Thanks

    Does anyone know when Parkside Phase 3 will come up for sale as I don't think there are any left in Phase 2 that suit what I am looking for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 195 ✭✭Joeyde


    I was in this morning and the sales rep didn't know. They are nearly sold out phase 2 and a lot of them should be finished by the end of the year. She said they haven't started the planning application for the next phase. so I was told. I put money down on a 3 bed.

    Thanks so much for that. They must have at least outline planning permission.

    Question for people who've already bought a house/signed the contracts.

    Is the developer okay with "subject to loan approval" clause in the contract?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7 tangled up in blue


    Hello

    Does anyone know when contracts are due for signing on the part of the development to the West of the existing estate?
    This area includes Parkside Court, View and Place.

    Secondly, has anyone transferred their deposit to another house in the same development prior to signing contracts? (i.e changed reservation to another house in the development)What was your experience?

    many thanks!

    I believe it's late March / early April for the contracts.

    On transferring deposits to different houses, looking at my Daft.ie alert, the prices are going up in the area (3 bed 3 bath being advertised at €340k on Daft which is higher than the price for the F type advertised in January) so you might incur a much higher price if you switch.

    Im also very keen to get an answer on this. There will be a few months between contracts and drawdown of the mortgage. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

    Let your solicitor worry about this, it's what you're paying them for.

    Long time lurker here.. finally in a position to buy/ put down a deposit. Really disappointed the end of terrace in newest launch have jumped to 355k, anyone else in the same boat? We were expecting a jump but over 340k is just too much we feel..

    Has anyone here picked a different type house in parkside to what they initially thought, e.g C type instead of B and feel happier with their choice?


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭little bess


    Hi we want to put a deposit down too, but my husband is still on probation in work so we are waiting on aip. Very disappointed that they've gone up so much too. The estate agent told me that are no end terrace left, only 2 mid and 2 semi detached with no driveway and they are all at 340?

    I don't think we would go for another type as we loved the b house - or f as they now are and with a different layout up stairs?

    That's correct. East facing back garden with no driveway. Afaik during the week there was one available at 340k but we just couldn't justify it, we really want our own driveway as such.

    Parkside crescent south facing end of terrace all went for 355k on the day they released them. We initially both were holding for these or ones on eastern side of the estate but I can only assume they'll keep increasing with every release as per norm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭dmcg90


    Is there any way to easily get out onto the main road (or will there be one planned)?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭GDK_11


    Prices range from €320,000 according to their website?!

    Maybe encouragement I suppose to undercut with your offer. Slim pickings left at this stage though it would appear, only 3 mid-terraces and I semi-d (the one with no driveway) left when I called in today for viewing.

    Hi!

    We are due to move onto Parkside in the next few weeks - very excited that we are on the final countdown!

    Could somebody who is already living in the estate be able to advise me if it is possible to get SKY TV in the estate?

    Thanks in advance!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 201 ✭✭GoodBridge


    Yes, you can get sky.

    BTW, you should join the Parkside Facebook group - just search for "Parkside,Balgriffin". It's a private group and one of the admins will check your address before allowing you join but it's great resource and a chance to meet your new neighbours.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Beaumum


    Thanks Goodbridge for getting back to me re. my SKY query and many thanks for the tip re. the Parkside group - didnt even know it existed! Will join up, as you say, it will be a great way to get to know the area and the people!

    Hi
    I have put a deposit down on a B type 3 bed house, does anyone know how much did it cost to get wooden floors in the sitting room and the three bed rooms? Also, to get carpet on the stairs and landing? Is there anyone that you can recommend or does anyone know who put the floors down in the show house? I'm trying to work out my budget ðŸ˜႒ Thanks so much

    Hi folks. Are there secondary schools nearby Parkside? Would Malahide Community School be the closest and would Parkside be within the catchment area? Thanks for any inputs. AB

    Any updates on contracts for anyone who has already paid booking deposit on properties in Parkside Place?

    Was informed about 2 weeks ago that:
      • They've broken ground on the site
      • Had a few delays but now it's underway
      • Contracts going out this month (builders waiting on receipts from a few other parties)

      Does anyone know anything about the new apartment blocks being built just up the road? I heard from someone who lives in Belmayne that there will be a lot of social housing in that development and that they were starting a petition in Belmayne.

      You can actually contact <mod snip: recommendations by pm only please> for floor price, we got 3 beds and living room plus stairs (with carpet) for about 2817 (type B house), as the same quality as the show house, she also offer a cheaper quality with about half of this price.

      Hopefully it will help.

      Contracts have been sent on Wednesday.

      Got a mail from the estate agent.

      As far as I know, there are a lot of social housing in Belmayne Estate itself.

      I was in contact with someone who lives in Belmayne and they said there are plans by the DCC to build 150 social units opposite the existing apartments being built at the moment at the entrance to Belmayne on the Malahide Rd. There has been no real planning gone into the project, they are just reacting in a panicked way to the homeless crisis. There are plenty of grounds for objection. Residents in Belmayne are currently working on a petition, which i'm sure will be posted here.

      Mod note

      If it's posted here it will be deleted. The accommodation and property forum is for all stakeholders in accommodation and property including those in need of/living in social housing. Sharing a petition directly seeking to prevent social housing being developed at a time when there is an acute shortage of social housing would fly against the spirit of the forum.


    • Registered Users Posts: 6 ta84


      I understand the shortage of social housing concerns. I’m just sharing information that was provided to me. I am buying a property in this development and want to know exactly what being built in the my area where I will spend the next 10 or 20 years and I think other people would feel the same.

      Hi everyone,

      what are options for broadband providers in Parkside?
      Has anyone considered sharing wifi with the neighbouring house to save cost if neither are heavy consumers?

      Houses are wired for Virgin Media and Eir I believe.


    • Registered Users Posts: 7 tangled up in blue


      What is the story with visitor parking spaces? There really doesn't seem to be any at all, looking at the plans/elevations etc on Dublin City council website, which by the way is well worth looking at
