Hi All,
I have booked and signed the contract for 3 bedroom house type 3 at Parklands. I was advised that the snagging date would be mid Sept but have not got a confirmed date yet. Anybody in the same situation?
Can you please share with me if there is a whatsapp group of Parklands which I can join ?

I tried to contact them to inquiry about the house we booked. They did not give us the info. about our house though but they told me that first up for viewing is Type 5, which is next week followed by Type 3. They didn't tell me which week exactly for Type 3, but will be soon "soon" itseems.

Have a viewing on a type 3 in Downs on Saturday. Had previously heard that 5 and 3's would be the same time so I assume the type 5 buyers are viewing too. The roads are in on Downs, they seems snag ready bar a couple of the entrances. For the viewing itself, it will be a showroom standard, not everyone's respective houses. H&M said that the site team are collecting buyer contact details for snagging also.

Hi mate, so how was the home and the venture? Has it been developed as per your expectations? Have they given any date for snagging yet?

Hi all,
On Monday I paid the deposit for one of the type 4 houses. After speaking with my solicitor, he told me that by law in new developments a number of house is allocated to "social house". Does anyone know how many houses are going to be used for social houses and where are they going to be? Looking at the map (brochure) I have doubts about what will be the area painted in purple near the creche, on the right near the Luas station (it appears outside Parklands and I can't see any information about what it can be, just numbers) do you think they are more apartments? I have asked H&M but it does not respond to that.
thank you in advance!!! Is going to be my first house and I´m very nervous!!

Its usually just the 10%. Generally from what I have seen its usually the smaller homes the developer will offer up. 2/3 bed terrace. Some developments place them together but others they are scattered. But if a housing agency gets involved it could be alot more.

kcv_dcm · 22-09-2020 3:04pm

Guys, is there any neighbourhood watch in and around Parklands ? When my wife and I came to viewing/booking at Parklands, we also walked around Cuil Duin and we met a couple of guys living there. They told us that they have some sort of whatsup group etc., Nor sure if thats a neighbourhood watch. Any idea about neighbourhood watch?

kcv_dcm · 09-10-2020 4:24pm

hi guys, any news from the HM about the occupation? Last I heard from them is that they are waiting for ESB connection for the venture....anyone has any further updates? thx

Lollifer2010 · 17-01-2021 3:29pm

Hi everyone, we were hoping to put a deposit down in one of these houses in the next few weeks but I came across the thread last night and it has turned me off it, our main concern in the parking, has anyone moved into the estate yet?

Gatling · 27-01-2021 3:09pm

Does anyone think the new garters lane development will effect the estate at all .

ParkMM · 19-02-2021 1:11pm

Hi All,
Mainly guys who had their snagging / architecture reviews done pls advise. Are these houses in parklands mainly the 3 bed ones are these just Timber built or a combination of brick + timber or just brick.
Also in respect to that in comparison to other developers around in dublin is parkland making house similar in respect to the building material wise .
I heard the Cuil Duin development is also made by Harcourt developers!
Pls advise thanks!!

I can't speak for all the houses but I have seen some which are timber framed. I have some pics of the insides, if of interest please pm.

The latest snagged houses have unfinished kitchen with substandard replacements. Earlier houses had similar to what was shown in show houses. What steps can someone take in this case? Check below pics:

And this is in the houses snagged few days back:

borat2012 · 21-02-2021 4:05pm

Hi Renjit, this looks totally nuts. I am just wondering what number is that on the picture?

It's type 4 houses on Parklands Green.

souvik2982 · 23-02-2021 5:04pm

Hi @Renjit, could you please let me the house number that got snagged earlier where you saw the complete kitchen top cabinet.

Could you also please confirm that the washing machine you are showing in that snagged house, is that integrated?

I am asking this question because I spoke to someone who visited the newly built Type 4 house recently, and he confirmed that none of the newly built Type 4 houses are having a kitchen top cabinet and the washing machine is sticking out as you showed above.

Now, this is a huge discrepancy between what is shown and what is delivered, in this situation do you think we can take the help of a solicitor and get them fixed.

Hi souvik2982

Seems the developer has accepted and resolving the issue for the missing top cabinet and the bare washing machine. But anything else will remain as it is (including the two basin design sink, different knobs on the 3 piece cabinet, plastic cover switch near the pilllar, lower height sink tap).

I would prefer the earlier sink as the functional space is reduced with the 2 basin design.

Do you know if flooring is included in the house?

Only bathroom flooring is included, that is generally a common standard everywhere

Thanks Renjit,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't follow the location of the plastic switch near the pillar, also do you have any email stating that the builder is ready to fix the issues.

Renjit, In the virtual tour there is no space for a dishwasher and washing machine. Where do we place it?

I have booked 66 parklands place, off the plans, with an August delivery date. How realistic is the August date? Thank you.

Dishwasher and washing machine are integrated under the kitchen countertop. I have a video on my cellphone. I will upload it later and post it here.

Our snag date was supposed to be in Aug, then delayed to December, and now it is delayed to March-April end.

The work is slow. Consider Oct-Nov delivery in your case if everything goes fine.

Thanks Renjit. I have also booked a 4-bed house (which we loved) in Newcastle ready to be handed over in Mid April or Max May. Waiting till Nov will be an issue for us as my wife's contract ends in Jan'22

Stay away from this developer (may be others are the same I dont know). But seem to be messing up in Parklands big time by subcontracting the construction to some lazy firm !

My friendly advice is just take Newcastle. They have messed up Parklands big time. The avg. occupation time is an year (even without considering breakdown in construction due to Covid). Moreover, due to the pandemic the banks have become very strict in lending and drawdown. You should know this as we see various cases reported in news papers.

Is it Cornerpark? Go for the one which is already in completed status.

Hi there, in the level 5 restrictions , country where engineers come from the north , how can you blame the developers to be lazy ? Not to do work ? Have you seen other developers around ? Any comments on this ? Thanks

I did my homework well w.r.t to checking other developments undertaken by Cairns, Savills, etc etc. Good quality service. All you have to do is just ask folks who already bought and they will tell you their plight. And, touch base with a few snagger who snagged houses in this venture. NOTE: I am not blaming Harcourt here. Its the construction firm to which they have subcontracted entire building process is a lazy firm. We have gone though all the ordeal and only we know how messed up everything is ! Dont be surprised down the line if they get embroiled in legal controversy (& FYI as far as I know one Mr. X is already serious about pursuing one for their shabby services).

Yellow_Fern · 02-03-2021 9:58am

If you buy, don't cheap out on snaggers. The difference in quality is vast.

Which is the best snagger around you will advise? Fee & time limitation is not a issue . Thanks

aguivari · 12-04-2021 3:48pm

hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of purchasing a house in Parklands.

Did anyone got the floorplans from the builder/developer ?

I could only find some floorplans on the city council, but clearly marked as "for permission planning only, not for construction", and I could spot some differences from the proposed plan and the actual show house.

They said to me they didn't provide the floorplans, and that I should measure the rooms by myself!?!?!?

Then, more recently because of Level 5 restrictions, sent an e-mail stating only the professional snaggers would be allowed on site.

They had indicated a proposed "April 23rd" date for the house to be available for snagging.

Evening and happy friday,

Really hoping you'll be able to help me. Just put down a deposit for type 4 three bed house in parklands. I'll be part of the gables. Just wondering does anyone know the orientation of the back garden? It would be the same as even numbers in the row, green and downs. Just want to know if I'll get sun in garden. Ive the end of terrace. Thanks

Your back garden is towards North direction.

May be for the furthest part of the back garden and during morning hours since yours is end terrace. But overall, much less sunlight compared to South facing garden (odd side)

Yellow_Fern · 08-05-2021 1:21pm

There several positions on orientation to consider. You want most of the sunlight to it the part of the garden that you sit out in so if a garden faces north you can just have a patio on the far side. For a kitchen/dining room ideally you would face southwest so you have evening sun around dinner time. No point having best light at noon. The disadvantage of this is that the front of the house will be shaded and prone to algae staining so there is no perfect orientation and if you were to get solar panels its not as good as south facing but southwest is probably best.

standardg60 · 08-05-2021 7:26pm

North isn't too bad, plenty of sun from the West on Summer evenings

ekuh · 04-11-2021 3:20pm

Hey guys, we've just reserved a house in Parklands. Just wondering if there is any current resident here, how's the life so far? Any complaints? How's the quality of the building and equipments? Is it peaceful and safe, any anti-social behaviour?

Thank you!!

boardieboard · 15-11-2021 1:20am

Hey I am just wondering if anyone knows what will be built at parklands point?

dublinguy21 · 23-11-2021 8:20am
