    hi guys a few words from me. About tiling as u see in the show houses u will get. Main and en-suit floor and walls. rest of it would be concrete or pcb board on 1st floor. I would not go for appliances from builders, there are poor quality. If u go for standard kitchen furniture think about 70/30 or full size fridge and freezer in utility room. About delay with houses expect 2 month behind schedule. We were told our house would be finished at the end of Feb and was ready middle of May last year.

    Thank you very much for your helpful answers everyone! I think we have made our decision for Maydenhayes in any case.

    we are finally settled on a house here after many months of viewing in the area, love the estate and the houses are fabulous. We are meeting the auctioneer Thursday with our booking deposit after a final viewing just to be sure can anybody help with the process? we are selling our current home and were told houses would be ready Jan 2018, how accurate are their estimations?
    when you put the booking deposit down how long do you have to pay the rest of the deposit? is it on completion of house or months beforehand?
    are there any hidden costs?
    we are looking to tile the living space in the kitchen downstairs do they have a tiler on site you can hire for this or do you bring your own people in?
    thanks, I forget the whole process its ten years since we bought our first place.

    which houses You booked for? Regarding deposit am not sure how fast You must pay 10 percent but try to do it fast just to make sure to pay what u agreed to pay. Make sure both parties sign to got ur prices guaranteed. There is no hidden costs unless u go for some extras. There is no problem with contractors to come on side to do work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Saibhreasnua1


    gosh I don't know what the name of the row is, the house number is 36, we provisionally pinned it until Thursday when we hand over the booking fee. Thanks for the info on the other questions.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Saibhreasnua1


    Oh that's great news the longer the better for us, thanks you have been such a great help. I'm sure once we get started I will have a million other questions.

    Hi all,
    We are looking at buying in Maydenhayes but we don't know much about the area. Would Drogheda be nearest town? Any feedback would be great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 dukeofcontent


    We moved in year ago and we had the same, no idea about neighbourhood.
    A few words for You.
    2 min drive pub towards the river. 5 Min drive all directions centra tesco dunes stores. Walking distance 2 crèches and school. Other school next to the river. Restaurants and other shops in Drogheda. Great cost line between Mornington and Bettystown. Train stations Drogheda or Laytown. 4 min walk from estate bust stop for local bus witch routing Laytown Bettystow Donnacarney Drogheda. As well there is express bus next to beauty salon towards dublin. Journey takes about 1 hour.
    If u got any more question I am happy to answer ;)

    Hi

    End of June for Mews is ambitious date, as they haven't completed Maydenhayes Sqaure yet. They are extremely slow in finishing houses.
    I can only see them building the new structures rather than completing the current and giving the possession.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 ACA2017


    Hi all

    So looking like a 2 month delay for most houses? Does anyone know if there are many units left ?

    Also with regards the floors has anyone paid the developer to do them? Did they do upstairs and downstairs as per show house?

    TIA


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 nick2020


    They have launched new untis on 6th May as per the advertisements. I know builder is refferring to the guys in Ratoath who have done the show house floors. You can contact them to get a quote instead of asking builders to install.

    Hi Guys,

    After following up my flooring query as per a previous post, the ground floor of the showhouse (engineered 170mm Oak) is approximately €4000 all in. The carpets upstairs were a further €1200.

    Has anyone found any good deals on solid or engineered to date?


    Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 nick2020


    Hi,

    Received pretty much similar quote from Ratoath guy and some local suppliers. The upstairs Carpets €1400 4 bedrooms and Staircase with binding €1000. In relation to wood floor I received advise from other suppliers that I should avoid Solid or Semi solid wood, as they can get easily damaged or get marked epecially if you have kids. There are lot of options available with good quality Laminated floor which will look similar or close to solid floor and even works out cheap

    I done a quotation with company in NI, they seams to have a decent prices (4 bed) for engineered 6mm 190mm dark cathedral oak downstairs [font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]and 5mm 150mm oak upstairs, with underlay, additional oil,glue ect  plus deliver its around [/font][font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6000.  Not sure what would be the cost of installing it. Again that was selecting more expensive floors you can easy find cheaper options there as well. [/font][font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]http://www.woodfloorwarehouse.co.uk.[/font]

    Thanks guys, had no idea how difficult choosing a floor could be! Endless options!


  • Registered Users Posts: 17 Twisterella12


    We checked out Hamptons Floor Store in Tallaght, got a preliminary quote of €999 including installation for carpet in 3 bedrooms, stairs and landing and €3000 for entire downstairs in Krono Swiss Grand Selection Origin. They also do a special of a cheaper laminate in several colours, again the entire downstairs for €1200. All of this includes installation and they also come out to measure everything free of charge, very reasonable we thought and good service.

    Hi, we've put an initial deposit down on a house in Maydenhayes - does anyone know how long on average until contracts get exchanged? The estate agent said to me about 4 weeks - I thought this sounded a bit ambitious?

    It depends on a number of circumstances really. We didn't receive contracts until around 4 months after paying the booking deposit as our road was still awaiting an updated planning decision. Which road are you on?

    Even after we received contracts there was still a delay with the bank issuing a loan offer. All in all it took us 6 months to exchange contracts.

    What I will say is that the developers countersigned within a few days of us signing so they were efficient on that front!

    Thanks, we've booked near the top of Maydehayes Rd, not due to be completed until next Jan/Feb, but we're expecting delays on that if things go according to posts on here! It'll be interesting to see if there'll be delays on the contracts arriving? It would suit us if they were delayed really.

    We got our contract in about 6 weeks after paying our 5k deposit. It currently back with them for review before we sign it.

    Hi everyone, just wondering at what point of the buying process did you meet/discuss with the developer regarding extras or available upgrades and did they contact you regarding these or did you initiate contact to discuss these? Thanks very much in advance!

    We met with James the foreman about 3 weeks before signing contracts. If your foundations are down then its a good time to have a word with him.
