I am hoping to buy a 3 bed in the next phase of Eastmount, although there are only two 3 beds being built in the next phase, the rest are 4 beds. Just wondering did phases 1 and 2 sell out quickly? I reckon it will be very difficult to try to get one of the 3 bed houses. Were 2 beds sold in the last phase? I think 2 beds in this next phase will be around 445,000.

Pretty sure they all sold the morning of the last launch. There were 3 cancellations. I managed to get one of the cancellations. First come, first served so maybe you can put your name down to be one of the first viewings for the next launch?

Thanks I will try that. I am sure there is a long list of names already down. I really like the location of the first launch of houses looking onto Eastwall. I was looking at the site plan, and judging by what they are saying about only two more 3 beds being built, are these the ones located at the very back of the estate, beside what I can only assume are the council houses?

It seems a crazy time to be living in with house prices. Ready to drop half a million on a 3 bed and you have to fight hard to be in with a chance, almost as if you would lucky to even get it. It would be nice to have the time to make proper decisions especially considering the big money but sure what can you do, crazy times. I know Archers Wood is launching soon but TBH I just don't like the location, it's too far out.

i didn't think there was to be a next launch. from the brochure there was Eastmount gardens and Eastmount woods. i believe both phases sold out, 3 beds anyway.

is there to be a third phase coming soon?

My understanding is that both estates, Gardens and Woods are each split into two sub-phases.

Eastmount Gardens Phase 1 = Completed
Eastmount Gardens Phase 2 = Nearing Completion
Eastmount Woods Phase 1 (Overall Phase 3) = Commenced on Site
Eastmount Woods Phase 2 (Overall Phase 4) = Not yet commenced

I suspect that there are still units available in each phase, however majority remaining would be 4 beds + only, with the 3 beds potentially fully reserved - Might be an exception with Phase 4 as they may not have gone to market yet...

Either way, there are only 10No. three bed units out of 41No. units in the entirety of Phase 3 and 4 combined. There are also 2No. two bed bungalows in Phase 4. Balance are 4 beds +.

If you check out the Flickr link on those photos posted by pixbyjohn, you can see quite a few more images he has taken, including some of Eastmount Woods - The first half of the first row now appears to be up in timber frame and roof tiles on some of them

Very useful to have these images, especially to those of us who are outside the 5km - Thanks PixbyJohn!

Hi does anyone know if houses A3-A6 are sold in Eastmount or are they yet to be released? They are the 3bed houses in Eastmount woods pictured above.

Kniq127 · 21-02-2021 11:48pm

Yes, they are. And those further in that line as well.

Langemarck · 05-03-2021 3:55pm

Hi All,

Strongly considering buying in Eastmount but not from the area and would welcome anybody's views on the area and development. I am reading a lot about Delgany becoming too overcrowded with housing estates, traffic and social issues. Is there supposed to be another housing development from DRES also happening along Chapel Road (not Churchlands)? Eastmount seems lovely and not too big a development. Grateful for any pros and cons if willing to share.
Many thanks

that other development from DRES along chapel road is in the very early stages and will be approximately 20 houses as far as i know so alot smaller than Eastmount. the majority of the 3 beds are reserved in Eastmount now so you'd need to be looking at the 4 and 5 beds which are well over half a million each.

Delgany is a lovely village in a lovely wider area IMO. It has seen a significant population increase which is not unexpected.

The traffic thing is just because the road through the village itself is narrow, and people park at the side of it so you have to weave a bit. It's not like you get stuck in traffic jams or anything like that.

You need to read the criticisms through multiple lenses. Delgany, Greystones etc are busier than they used to be which is undoubtedly frustrating for people who lived here when they were quiet, but today they'll still feel small and quiet to someone used to Dublin for example.

Langemarck · 05-03-2021 7:04pm

Thanks @awec, helpful perspective. It does still seem more country like than Dublin which is a plus.

I know there are always social issues no matter where you live but have you found it a problem in particular areas in Delgany?

@danny, the price for a 4 bed is high, but it seems like Delgany prices are going up just like they are everywhere. Trying to weigh up if its worth that much.

Personally I'd be amazed if Delgany has any social issues. Pre-lockdown I'd be in the pub, cafe etc all the time and never met anyone I'd even raise an eyebrow to. I think anyone telling you there are social issues is talking ****, or must exist in some sort of alternative reality bubble.

While the population has increased it's still a small village, and it's a small village with expensive property prices. It's a highly desirable area.

I think the referenced traffic issues are not with the village itself, but the roads around it towards blacklion/greystones. If you are commuting or travelling to local schools etc, it is certainly an issue.

Ridiculous comment to make on social housing.

Fffnoso · 09-03-2021 8:52am

Just been informed the south facing 4 bed are no an additional 20k. Now priced at 590,000. Only last change to grab.

Very few first-time buyers are purchasing those it will be traders uppers who have made a bit of money and have very good equity in their current home, its an A-rated four-bed with the most desirable aspect.

dannyc31 · 13-03-2021 9:58pm

prices for the last 3 bed semi's have now also been update. now over the €500K at €520K each. bitter pill to swallow for those first time buyers hoping to avail of the help to buy scheme.

Defo not aiming these at help to buy people.

Is there any / many left?

Fffnoso · 30-03-2021 12:02am

Drove around the site and roads are shocking. Tight and really bad condition - will these be fixed once site is complete.

3 beds were originally sub €500k. Don't think there is any left currently

Fffnoso · 07-04-2021 2:42pm

Spoken with Sherryfitz and they are fully sold out. Selling the 4bed and 3 bed showhouse now.
Goodness knows what price they will put on them +50/60 on the base house.

Hi, that’s great you reserved a house. Congrats! We love loads of things about Eastmount. The area is really nice, the houses aren’t overlooked at all (which is rare is a new build) and the rooms are really spacious. The finish of the houses seems great too which you don’t always get in new builds. Our house is at the bottom of the road and has a tree directly behind our garden so we’ll have to see if it causes problems with shade. Definitely not enough to put us off though.

We’ve set up a WhatsApp group so other people that have bought can join in time and have a chat about things. There’s only me and my partner and Coffeycups and her husband at the moment but if you want to PM either of us with your number we can add you to that if you like?

Hi, we bought a house in Eastmount Woods last August and would love to be included in a whats app or facebook group for the estate if possible?

I'm in the same boat. A group would be handy

Peanutty21 · 20-04-2021 9:42pm

Hi

Same for us. We have also bought in the estate and would really like to join a group.

Thanks

Philiminator · 20-05-2021 7:46am

Hi

We bought one of the houses there too.

If we can join the group, it would be great

BroganJ · 24-05-2021 11:48am

Hi,

We bought in one of the recent phases and would also like to be added to the group please

Our house was originally supposed to be ready May/June but with covid delays has been pushed back to August/September, has anyone heard further updates from the developer/estate agent on revised timings? Thanks!

Yes we also were given this timeframe but told snagging that will be late July, early August. Hopefully this will be the case. Took a visit to the site two weeks ago and it looks like things are really coming along but it’s hard to know

Kniq127 · 24-05-2021 7:43pm

As far as I am aware the first half of that row under construction was programmed for snagging July/August and the second half August/September. But I don't know if it is still the case.

Goldfish90 · 25-05-2021 10:31pm

Hi, we bought a house in Eastmount earlier this year and would love to join a group. Our house is scheduled for completion at the end of October (was initially Sept). Hoping for no more delays! :-)

EP19 · 25-05-2021 11:05pm

Hi, we bought a house in Eastmount earlier this year too. We were told end of October/November for completion. The estate agent told us about a month ago that they were on schedule but that they'd send an update out soon. Would be great if we could also join the Whatsapp group.

doorbell21 · 26-05-2021 11:27am

Hi all, we also bought in Eastmount woods and we were told Oct/Nov as well. Hoping that things keep on track as we have just sold our old home and are moving in with the in-laws! Would love to join a whatsapp group for future residents to share experiences.

Fffnoso · 02-06-2021 8:09am

We purchased a final phase house.

Aim to snag in October and be in by November.

Fingers crossed!
