    We hadn't heard this yet...very disappointing...we have been in touch with developer recently as we received the deadline to submit changes, but there was no mention of another push out. we will also have to push bank for a mortgage extension too
    Yea it was when we were in contact about the changes that I asked the question about completion dates. We were becoming worried as the base isnt even down for our house yet so that's why I asked. It's very stressful to be honest, I hope they really do mean November now and not any later!

    Myhome.ie still says phase 2 is launching in May 2017. I was advised this has been pushed out until September. Has anyone heard anything different?

    How do people find Anthony Neville to deal with?

    I haven't had dealings with Anthony Nevilles but I find Savilles hard to deal with. I have been to many show homes and find dng and Hooke and McDonald great. They don't want people queuing as it's bad publicity. I feel that Savilles want people queuing and like the media attention. They won't really give any information and seem quite secretive about dates etc.

    Take the names of people who are interested and then once the houses become available ring up and book them. That's what all the other estate ages seem to be doing. The only article that was printed about people queuing was properties Savilles were selling. Friends of mine bought in beech park in lexilip last weekend and when they went to que on the Friday the estate agent took there details and sent them away and then gave them first preference when they arrived Saturday. Do you not think that's better than people camping in their cars??

    Has anyone who bought in November been told when they can expect to get into their house? We were originally told March, then middle April, then end of May and now we've just been told its been delayed but there has been no mention of a date.

    The last we were told is the building works should be finished mid-late June. And everything will depend on the work happening on the dunboyne road.

    hi,
    we have now been told expected completion of our house will be late October, originally it was scheduled for completion in May/June.
    I have heard the developer is planning to release houses in Phase 1 in two seperate stages. Does anyone know what number houses will be released in Phase 1a?
    thanks

    Did you buy house in November or February launch? That's a big delay any particular reason given for the delay?

    I was informed there would be a site meeting yesterday, friday so I could expect an update early next week. Looks like the pipework that seems to have caused the delays may be sorted. Drove along the dunboyne rd and it's been resurfaced..

    Fingers crossed the date doesn't change again!

    Is your house currently built? Ours is up so just trying to get an idea on completion. Not getting a lot of information from Anthony Neville or Savills at the moment...

    I was talking to the foreman on site the beginning of May. They were skimimg the walls then....electrician told me he was due to do 2nd fixing after Easter.. i understand the pipework delayed things but surely they should have continued on with the original schedule??

    I would guess it was a case of diverting finances. Funds possibly being released in blocks by whoever was financing the development.

    We purchased in Feb and were told by Savills it be completed by June at the latest.
    Told by Anthony Neville it is projected to be completed late October and they will be releasing houses 1 by 1.
    Reading comments above, it doesnt look like the first houses will be released until September, so i anticipating our completion date will be pushed again. I would presume they would release in sections as to block off areas in the estate to ensure residents don't drive down to where constructing is ongoing?
    Has any encountered any problems from the Banks if you extended your mortgage offer??

    I'm in similar agreement with you. We purchased late Oct/early November and were told end of April/early May completion. Since there is was no blocking issues with the building of the house, the house should have been completed by then, regardless of any water surfacing/piping issues!

    Can I ask how you got in contact with the foreman? We are not getting any straight answers from our contact at AnthonyNeville...

    That's some time to complete any fixes! Does this align with the completion/move date which you are currently working towards?

    Same as, snagged on the 29th of June and was informed the house would be available to re-snag the 18th of August, a full 7 weeks later. The house was not ready to snag in June, the outside had not been finished and some final fixtures inside were still to be completed.

    We were initially told the house would be available in May, it is not looking like early September, getting really frustrating at this stage, communication is simply awful

    Yep, we found the same thing so there were a lot of things on our snag.

    We were originally told our house would be ready at the end of March! And now it's looking like September at some stage. We are frustrated too because we had an apartment to sell and can't delay the sale any further. If they had been honest at the start we could have timed the sale of the apartment a lot better.
