Thanks but unfortunately not! Just has the house size, but no breakdown per room.

I see construction has started up again this week, so getting closer once again to a move in date!

See breakdown attached

Hi I was told Q4 for the initial launch, with majority around October and could possibly change over summer depending how site are getting on once they’ve been back for a while

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone who is buying in the 3 bed phase of Skylark has heard anything from the developer/estate agent on revised timings? We were told May/June of this year, but of course because of lockdown there will be a delay. Thanks

Looking like Q1 2022 now. Darn Covid has made this a long lead time

Hi Bilbot79, I was recently contacted by Savills to say that developers believe the completion date for phase 1 in Skylark will be Q4 2021. Have you heard otherwise or do you just feel there will be further delays?

No i think you should be grand for phase 1

Sorry to hear that bilbot79. I've seen some pictures of the site, and it looks like they're making good progress on phase 1, so I'm feeling more optimistic now than I was a few weeks ago. Looking forward to hearing more from them soon on a more definitive date than 'Q4'.

Based on previous threads I always thought Q4 was ambitious for phase II but had hoped for a miracle getting me in for the Toy Show! I think definitely Q1 2022 or later for me now

The Toy Show is the only marker in time that's important!

What other reason would you buy an A2 rated new build in fab location close to the airport, beach and town if not to watch the Toy Show in it !

Has anyone actually managed to get the floor sizes for the Petrel houses? I find it absolutely crazy that they can’t seem to give us the floor measurements for a house we have bought.

Does anyone know what broadband options are available? Is there fibre directly to the house? I think I saw that it was wired Virgin somewhere but are other providers also available (Sky etc.)?

Can anyone speak to the quality/speed of broadband connection?

Does anyone know if building is on schedule, ahead, or behind for that matter?

I checked in again today and have been told Q4 (again…) but that it may be closer to the start of Q4 depending on your house number. They’ll be able to confirm a more accurate date once they’ve had an update from the builders.

The houses on the left hand side (if you’re standing at the top of the road looking down Skylark Park Gate) are starting to be rendered on the outside, and the houses on the right are making good progress with the outside brick work, so things seem to be moving well.

Bills - Can't answer that until we figure out how to work it

Hi Chinguetti. Mind if I resurrect this question now you're a while in the place?

Hard to say as the energy prices have gone up and still going up over the last 6 months but it is cheaper than where we were.

However, I don't think anyone know how to work the smart heating system if I'm honest. We've had 3 different guys in to explain it to us and they've reprogrammed it for us each time and we've most of the heaters off throughout the place all year round.

This heating system is infamous now. Do you have a model number so I can look at it online?

I wonder is it because they're from across the pond. You could try contacting them on Facebook perhaps or just go through Savills?

Has anyone in phase 1 sorted floors out yet?

I’m not totally sure yet but was going to get a few quotes and see if could book a fitter for mid October? The agents gave me the name of the company who did the showhouses so might try them first. I was told early that month was the plan so don’t want to delay moving too long and it seems that it’s difficult to get a fitter (at least that’s my experience so far)

Just know that they’re “unfinished”.
