Overall quality of kitchens, tiling, skirting boards etc. was good imo.

There was one alarm panel in the utility room in the 4 bed.

The pump if it was a DVC system would be in the attic. The bog standard vents on the walls and the fact there are no trickle vents in the windows leads me to believe that its not a DVC system after all. No sign of a humidity strip sensor anywhere either.

I remember seeing the alarm panel just can't for the life of me remember where exactly it was lol.

Didn't notice the lack of sockets etc, will look for that again.

What type of heating is in the house - gas or electric? Would it be expensive to run, any idea?
I actually forgot to ask.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 12-05-2019 10:01pm

Air to water heat pump.

I have the same system in my house at present and it's great. Basically means you will only have 1 bill every 2 months cause the pump runs off your electricity supply. It supplies the heating and hot water. You can see the pump in the back garden. This is the one in the house.

Is this cost efficient, have you found?

g3l8usd9inoptz · 13-05-2019 2:10pm

They are built to be cost efficient. During the winter months our bi monthly bill was around 250 or so. Remember that's heating, hot water and electricity usage in the house.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 14-05-2019 12:34am

Not sure as that depends on individual usage and lifestyle. I found it comparable to gas.

In order for them to achieve a high BER rating without solar panels they need the Heat Pump, they are energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Hi,

Did anyone asked the question on the open viewing which kitchens will be fitted in the Sanderling B type houses?
The show house was a Sanderling A and it had a different type of kitchen than what have been told us if February. It's lovely anyway, but at the moment I don't know what to expect in the Sanderling B.
I can see on the pictures uploaded by Ledwill park in the other houses they fitted a light grey kitchen (the same as we have been told) but we didn't go into the other 2 houses to check.

4 bed showhouse had light grey. We peaked through the window in the two detached big houses facing GAA and kitchen was installed in light grey.

Not much of a difference regarding layout/size etc between the Sanderling A & B so I presume they are going to be the same colour. the 4beds were all light grey.

mur223 · 16-05-2019 12:41pm

Anyone else get the "updated" video of progress at Ledwill Park from Glenveagh yesterday? It is about a month old, even the show houses weren't completed yet haha. Was disappointed when I opened it!

g3l8usd9inoptz · 16-05-2019 6:27pm

Yeah was a big let down alright.

Mee too

I was expecting some good news, and when I saw the video I knew it it must be recorded at least 3 weeks ago..

Travellog1 · 20-05-2019 5:57pm

Hi, was just wondering has anyone else bought an end of terrace 3 bed. Have you been told if it will have side access? Hard to tell from plans if it will. Going by other estates some end of terrace do and some don’t.

LJG15 · 21-05-2019 12:29pm

Hi, we bought a three bed terraced and there is a tunnel between the two houses with shared access to bring bins through. There is obviously then a back gate on each of the gardens at the end of the tunnel. i presume if we have access to our back and we are in the middle then end of terrace definitely do. Check with Sherry Fitz they should be able to tell you at this stage.

AnaC · 21-05-2019 7:34pm

Hi guys, I was following the thread for the last couple of weeks and I’m happy to see more people join. did anyone buy on the green? We’ve just put the deposit down and last weekend we were told October but today was August. So confused ðŸ€·*♀️

Hi Ana,

I'm pretty sure the majority of people on this thread have bought on the rise, we were all told Q3 so July/Aug/Sept for finish dates. Work on the rise was the first to start & the green doesn't seem to be as developed as the rise, so I would say go with the October date so your not disappointed. Keep asking for updates though and fingers crossed yours will be ready for August!!

What do people think about noise from the motorway? Does that bother you?

I personally didn't even notice the noise from motorway. I've been there many times to see the progress, and had no issues with the noise.

To have a property in a super quite place, you have to be away from towns, cities somewhere middle of nowhere. I would say this place is is quiet enough.

I didn't notice it either. Maybe we would hear the train more often as it runs so close by Ledwill Park but that doesn't bother me at all! My sister actually lives in an estate closer to the motorway and you can barley hear it!

Thanks for the reply.
I did think the agent fromSherry Fitz was probably overly optimistic with August. October it’s fine for us- So 🤞

I don’t think it’s that bad. Definitely much quieter than other places.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 23-05-2019 9:04pm

I have lived beside a very busy road and my god its horrific. Cant open the window at night, woken up early in the morning with traffic etc. The hum off that motorway wouldnt bother me in the slightest. When they resurface it you wont hear a thing. Pop up to court town park in kilcock, those houses have the motorway running directly behind their back gardens. I bet that's grim.

Travellog1 · 23-05-2019 11:04pm

I bought on the Green and was told on Tuesday by Sherry Fitz that they were aiming for completion end of Aug beginning of Sept and then snagging would be after that.

Hopefully. I might check with the builder next time I’ll be around there

airportgirl83 · 24-05-2019 7:54pm

Will anyone be commuting to Dublin by public transport?

Kilcock Transport Group (look it up on Facebook) was protesting on the bridge tonight complying about trains being overcrowded, buses always late or no shows. They actually share some interesting stories on their page. It looks like the infrastructure does not follow the town expansion and commute seems to be difficult. Suspect it's same problem in Dublin atm, lack of proper planning.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 24-05-2019 11:18pm

The bus service is dire. the trains are crowded like every other train going in and out of Dublin during the working week. Maynooth is up the road and only 5mins away by car if you need more options.

I do find the train grand to be honest.

I know this spring more trains have been introduced on the route from Maynooth so hopefully something will be done if it becomes a problem.

Now, can we talk about flooring. There was this guy from home and garden furnishings there and showed us his offer for Laminate downstairs and carpet on stairs, landing and bedroom plus blinds on 4 windows at ground floor plus first floor and he wants to charge more than 9000€. Is it just me or that’s obscene?!? Plus he couldn’t even tell us what quality were talking about apart from the laminate being Belgian

I’ve been at the show homes today as my parents in law wanted to see them plus my father is law is very knowledgeable when it comes to buildings etc. He was impressed with the quality of the building.

Yes i thought the price was redicilous in my opinion. my sister recently got her whole house re floored and it was 2500.Her house is the same size as ours. She got all wooden floors down stairs and carpet upstairs too. I cant see how a few blinds/black out blinds would cost the remainder. I took the booklet anyway but wont be going ahead with them!

MrTea247 · 25-05-2019 11:01pm

Hi guys, myself and my girlfriend were delighted to find this thread. We’ve bought on The Rise too, one of the Sanderling A type 3 bed semi D’s.

We thought the price for floors & blinds was pretty expensive too... glad to see it wasn’t just us!

Would anyone have floor plans/drawings of the Sanderling type A? We’ve asked Sherry Fitz to send them on but still waiting. Our plan was to use the room dimensions from a drawing to get prices for flooring to compare to their price.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 25-05-2019 11:48pm

Email the address below and they should send you the proper floor plan with measurements etc

When you go through documents house plans are there. Site plan will give you a house type that you are looking for. Refer that to house drawings which are also there. Planning permision would not be granted without detailed house drawings. I've seen them there, just not at my PC to share atm.

MrTea247 · 26-05-2019 11:53am

Thanks for all your help guys! been on the Kildare Co. Co. site all morning! There's a tonne of information available there!

Was talking to one of the Glenveagh people at the showhouse yesterday - he was saying August is realistic for houses on The Rise to be finished.

MrTea247 · 27-05-2019 10:00am

If you go to the main Kildare County Council webpage, click the 'online services' tab, then 'online planning enquiries', then 'online planning enquiry system'.

The planning number is '161345'. Search for that and then when the result comes up click 'View documents'.

Boards wont let me just post a link!

Credit has to go to airportgirl83 and AnaC for all the details!

In relation to the plans online. There were a fair few differences between the house I bought and the one that was submitted to KCC. So just be mindful of that when reviewing those documents. Glenveagh sent me the correct floor plans for mine with the correct dimensions etc.

My house according to Glenveagh will be ready to snag the end of June and should be ready to move into the start of August.

That’s true I found mine but there are some differences. It does give however a rough estimate.
It’s good to know Glenveagh sent the plans. I was afraid they might not do it as the sales agent kept insisting everything is hand finished and you need to do your own measurements.
Thanks a lot

I was gonna attach an image of what they sent me but they seem to have removed that function to attach photos.

They sent me house plans and garden dimensions.

I really think it's the luck of the draw when it comes to the level of assistance you get from the builder/Estate Agents.

I think your right as they replied to me today saying each house is different and I need to wait until the house is ready for snagging! So all they sent me was the brochure that we got online months ago! Will just have to hang tight until then!

localscientist · 28-05-2019 10:25am

Hi folks. We are hoping to buy on Phase 2. Going on the information that ye might move in in August, just wondering how long ago did ye officially buy off the plans? Trying to set ourselves a timeline here.

g3l8usd9inoptz · 28-05-2019 10:29am

I bought off the plans back around the beginning of Feb or so.

Got this from Glenveagh today.

"Your unit is within phase 1 of completion and we hope to call buyers in this phase to snag in July, subject to ESB and water connections which are ongoing. We will call you to snag as soon as we have confirmation of this completion."

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any details on the kitchen that will be fitted? Namely: will there be a hole cut in the worktop for a Hob? Also what size is the gap left for oven?

We’re looking to buy some appliances but can’t until we know for sure what sizes to buy

edkirl · 31-05-2019 10:10am

Hi All, Just wanted to query are my fiancé and I the only ones receiving radio silence in terms of estimated moving dates or dimensions so we can quote flooring/ blinds as those packages being offered by the interior design crowd seemed ridiculously expensive!

We arrived at 11 on launch day for the plan buyers only viewing but found that was not the case at all and anytime we approached Sherry Fitz to ask questions or get more info once they found out we had bought off the plans they did not want to talk to us and were more interested in making sales. I called Sherry Fitz after and got ridiculously vague details about completion and moving in e.g. saying our valuation was right and completion/snagging/moving in would be June (we bought on The Rise 26-37) - However as it is the last day of May I am going to assume that is completely inaccurate.

In terms of dimensions I did look at Kildare CoCo way back and found the plans to be totally different so don't think we can estimate off them.

Sorry for the long post just wanted to see if we were alone in recieving the silent treatment as soon as our deposit and help to buy went through?
