    I was wondering if anyone had bought in Castle Farm and how close they are to moving in or what stage are they at with the buying process?

    Hi, I am looking at possibly buying in the next phase. Can I ask how your experience has been? Are they open to changes? Wasn’t a fan of the tiling in the bathrooms.

    No major issues really. our solicitor questioned a few things in the contract but nothing that stopped us from signing. have you signed contracts yet? received a snag day date or anything?

    No we haven't signed yet - we didn't have our mortgage in place when we put the deposit down so that delayed everything!

    we are snagging next week so hopefully wont be waiting too much longer. agh there's always a delay when it comes to mortgage papers. So many forms to get in place before you can draw down (home insurance, mortgage protection ) have you had any updates about when the house will be ready?

    No nothing yet - although they've probably been avoiding me because I had no funds in place!

    We were told no one was allowed in to measure until we had contracts signed and snag done. Carpet guy is measuring tomorrow. Just had to ask estate agent if it was ok .

    Thanks, I actually got onto DNG yesterday and they gave me the green light to get someone in to measure. Have you been given a move in date? We are waiting on a snag date, hopefully next week

    We bought and are moving in hopefully mid June. We should get a BBQ going in August and then have an annual Castle Farm BBQ. Who's game? We paid deposit yesterday. Broke for now but sure it's grand.

    I know we are the same, we are on the row at the end of the road. Think the first row is getting snagged first so hopefully not too far behind you. Houses are complete, just waiting on paving and road. Contracts signed last week.

    Yeah I suppose they've stopped showing because the first phase is finished and it's not possible to get down to second phase with it being a building site. We booked the initial viewing but now we just pop down once a week and peek behind the fence. Hopefully we'll see some progress this weekend. It's all very exciting. BBQ will be great, we can get the meat in that quality butchers in the main street. Living like kings and queens we'll be :)

    Anyone looked at carpets yet for 3 bed semi? How much is it costing?
    Also does anyone know where the dining table in the 3 bed show house is from?

    We got quoted in or around 2000 for carpets for stairs landing and 3 bedrooms.. Seemed a bit high as the carpet we were looking at wasn't anything special. Hopefully we can get cheaper somewhere else.. Any recommendations would be welcome!
