    Yeah I was talking to Ger from SF and that's the date she gave. I was also talking to another woman at the show houses about a month ago and the same date was given. Fingers crossed it is done by then. Foundations are down so hopefully see some more progress in next month or so

    Wow that's great progress, yes fingers crossed;)

    meant to ask are the foundations laid for your house specifically or for the whole phase of houses

    Probably should have said that the foundations were not for all of Phase 2. By the looks of it there is foundations for the first 6 houses (No.22-32) in the cul de sac on the right side as you enter. These would be the ones for March 2017.

    Wow did they start Phase 2 already? How were you able to see the 3rd cul de sac?
    We are phase 1 (2nd cul de sac) but cant see what is going on in there...

    We were just asking if it is still on target for October and she said yes but its hard to trust her. When we spoke to the foreman at the building side he seemed surprised that we were told October.

    Are they gona give us at least one month notice? Maybe the guys who moved in could tell us. But assume once you move in you're not bothered to read the forum anymore:)
    But in case someone does read it, please tell us, it'll be much appreciated.

    I think you do the snagging first and then it can be from 2weeks to a month before others got the keys

    Hey,
    Yeah phase 2 has started already. One of the guys who bought a house in phase 2 has a drone and he took some videos and photos for us. All the houses in cul de sac 2 look like they are up with roofs on them but with scaffolding all around them so still a bit of work to be done.

    I did notice someone was able to get the the attic conversion done during the build. Anyone know how this was possible? We have been told we are not allowed to change anything at all.

    We've been told same- no changes allowed, no matter how small they are.
    And the attic conversion- very annoyed about as we were very interested in getting ours done and were told we can't... someone must be very special if they could, I guess.

    Could be a family of a builder or developer. God knows. We were told attic conversion was not possible due to all the equipment being there...

    How do you know someone got an attic conversion? The dormer window? I think that was the way it was sold, if you see the house beside the 3 bed extended showhouse, this has a dormer window as well.

    Yeah the dormer window shows that the attic was done. There were no options to have this when buying even though they have the show house with it. They also don't open that show house either.

    If it was bought like that I would like to know how they got the option. I would assume as someone mentioned that they know the developer/builder and was able to get this done after purchasing.

    I had a wander around the site last Saturday and huge progress seems to have been made since the last time I was up (two weeks prior).

    The houses on the right hand side of cul de sac 2 now have their kitchens installed and as far as I can see all internal work is almost finished, they even have the house numbers on the doors. Work has started on the driveways and road out front.

    The houses on the left of cul de sac 2 seem to be a little behind the houses on right hand side - roughly 3/4 weeks and that is a guess!. It's not all bad news though as again huge progress has been made over the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago scaffolding still surrounded a number of these houses and the extensions (on the houses that have them) were far from complete. As of last Saturday the 10th Sept all scaffolding is down and the extensions are 100% finished on the outside. As for the inside two weeks ago we only had the wooden studs outlining the different rooms. However on Saturday I see the walls have now all been fully clad in plasterboard, both upstairs and downstairs. :)

    Fingers crossed we'll be in by November 16 - we were originally told July 16.

    What about the houses at the bottom of the 2 nd cul de sac? Anything inside done??
