Just so you know there is no store room from the sitting room on the type B houses in Shackleton. It's on the brochure that there is a door in the sitting room but they never went ahead with it. Another change they made without telling anyone!!

Awh that’s great news thanks for letting us know! The only thing that’s been a positive of the things they haven’t told us!

Are the storage rooms off sitting room for type A gone as well?

I'm not 100% sure but I say there are as I was in the Parkside show house type A yesterday and there was none in that house.

I noticed that alright, no loss as far as we are concerned! It will take a bit of room from the living room for not much gain!

Are the Parkside houses open 2-4 today does anyone know?

Anybody knows if they have a showhouse for a 3 bed terraced house in there (Equivalent of Type B in Shackleton) ?

No....but they have an A type where the first two storeys are broadly similar to what a B type should look like.

I went to visit Parkside today, I have to say I was very disappointed in the show houses that I seen. Especially house type H1. We bought house type C and I really hope it's bigger.

Anyone else feel the same?

This is why I would not buy off a plan, ever, its your one lifetime investment and you should be 100% sure of everything about it. Was there not a showhouse for the type c.

Nastygal2511 · 08-10-2017 11:52am

No, I've seen the same house type in churchfields and it was 100 times I've. I think the estate agents are just trying to take pressure of the delay in the Shackleton show house by sending people to Parkside to see one that isn't really similar.

Daisy78 · 09-10-2017 11:00pm

Apologies if this has already been asked but does anybody know what the 3 bed terraces are going for? I have recollection of someone mentioning 300,000 but not sure if this is correct.

If there still the same I think it’s this;

Mid terrace without drive 295,000
Mid terrace with drive 299,000
End terrace 320,000

dn2017 · 11-10-2017 11:57am

I was chatting to Sarah-Jane in Cairn Homes which she said it could be another 2-3 weeks before people get into snag as they want to make sure all the roads are clean as possible for bringing people onto the site.

The first people snagging will be on Shackleton Walk then onto Shackleton Way and so on. They are trying to get people into the houses well before Christmas so touch wood.

She also said the information suite is on this Saturday and Sunday.

I noticed new advertising hoarding around Lucan which states that prices start from 315,000. I would assume this is for a three bed terraced which is quite a jump from previous phases.

The first phase for a 3 bed mid terraced house was €299,950 so they are after putting the price up for the mid terraced house to €315,000. More than likely the end terrace houses will now be €340k.

Daisy78 · 11-10-2017 7:00pm

Sigh. That's me back to looking at second hand houses again. Even with the first time buyers grant a lot of new properties are falling into the unaffordable category. I would have thought these properties were aimed at first time buyers.There seems to be a trend for developers releasing small batches of properties to give them scope to increase the price each time which is so frustrating. A 20,000 increase is a huge jump in such a short time.

I'm not sure what they mean by clean roads??
Did she happen to mention Shackleton Place snagging?

The roads are full of muck and there not done proper so they want to clean them up a little bit, no she never said but I presume after the first block on Shackleton Way.

Problem with most of the second hand houses is the bidding game. They are never sold at asking price and for what I've seen, it's a crazy "game".

I would call Hooke and McDonald and have a chat because different posters/ emails all have different pricing!

From their new phase announcement email today:
"Following a sold-out first phase, we’re delighted to announce a new limited release of our highly popular 3 & 4 bedroom A-rated houses available now from €315,000 for a 3 bedroom house, and from €355,000 for a 4 bedroom house."

Naturally terraced and semi-detached will have different prices, as they had in phase 1.

MaxPower131 · 12-10-2017 9:58am

For those of you that have received contracts can I ask if there are conditions attached such as not allowing garden sheds and washing lines in the garden? I know some of the new developments in Adamstown have this in the contract.

There was no C type houses listed on the sheet that was there. The only real prices change I can see is the Mid Terrace houses (Type

which are now €315k.

spx3 · 14-10-2017 8:51pm

Went to the info site today, no new info other than the move in dates are all still on schedule. They have a sample kitchen plus some kind of VR station which i think is the 3D view that they have on parkside website. There's a new brochure and now all of the different house types have names.. so type A is the Elm, type B is the Willow, B1 is the Cedar and C is the Oak. Show houses defo won't be ready until Jan, weather permitting.
Can't wait to get on site but still looks as though it'll be a few weeks yet!

Any idea what those move in dates are? Was there much interest out there today like houses being sold etc? What were prices like for other house types? I'm tempted to go up just out of interest!

They said move in dates were as stated at the time of purchase give or take 2 weeks. There was a price sheet but I forgot to take it with me. As far as I can remember house B terrace was 315,000 and B end of terrace was 325,000. I don’t think there was c type on the list.

Nastygal2511 · 16-10-2017 2:15pm

Don't think anyone will be snagging till another two weeks or more. I was told that it could be the last week in October or start of November.

Hi All,

Just put our deposit down for a Type A on the Avenue and new to the thread!

A friend of mine who's buying a house in another new development just heard back today that his developer won't include a condition in his contract to refund his deposit if his mortgage falls through. Just wondering if anyone here has asked for this condition and if there was any pushback?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i am aware this condition is included automatically in our contracts. I definitely did not need to ask for it

Our solicitor included this condition and Eversheds agreed to it so I can’t see it being an issue for you! Congrats on the house ðŸ˜Š

Yes it was already included for me too.

By the way new Shackleton brochure is now online if you haven't been to the new sales office, it shows up to date internal layout.

e.g. no store room door in the living room of type A house. Also there seem to be some minor tweaks to the main bathroom, and HP in the attic room. All fairly positive in my mind.

We should get the Facebook group back up and running.

So who’s having the first house warming party? Are we all invited?
