Sounds very suspect. Are they offering any money for your displacement. I think they have someone in mind for your apartment who will pay extra or they have given it to some one else. That happened to my sister when she bought her house out in Sandyford a couple of years ago. I would not move. There is more to this then what is being told to you.

agree with clodo, this is VERY suspect. but like all things its usually about money and gauging the madness going on in the market (have seen fools on the first viewing offering 100k over the guide price) someone has probably come along and said they really want that particaular apt and have made the builder an offer he cant refuse. hence ur getting offered a (i assume) fully furnished apt instead. u could turn a good deal for yourself here so i wouldnt write it off completely. perhaps get them to throw in an extra parking space for free (worth 30k) if u do move.

what are the main differences between your current apt and the one they are offering u? ie what floor, size, aspect, price etc...

just curious about what could be making someone want urs so much....

thanks guys. Keep me posted.

I
I was out today at the apartments before i went to work, i had a meeting with the estate agent at hooke and macdonald. He didnt show but he had the site manager come and show me around the show apartment. They propose to let me have it at no extra cost with all the fixtures,i.e laminate floor and fridge dish washer, washing machine etc. I dont like the show apartment one little bit, dont like the fit out, or shape of the apartment, although it is bigger than mine by 50sqft. it is a horrible shape and I told them to forget about it. When i rang the estate agent to tell him this he tried to convince me that if they were to put the show aptment on the mkt it would be going on at 650k. If thats the case il do mine up nicer than the show house and let it on the market.

I told them to forget it, im going to let my solicitor at them. They still wont say why they cant close on the deal. I was out at my apartment and had a look around after i finished up in the show apt. it was finished to perfection, no structural faults etc. ready to fit out as now. I will let the solicitor find out whats going on. I would only move apartments if they offer me lots of cash plus another 3 bedroom apartment. Il will just sit tight for now because it is obviously important to them that i take another apartment. Why else would they offer me the show apt?

The worst they can do is not close for 24months as stated in the contract, I dont mind this because il just end up getting a free punt on the property market if they push this agenda.

Il keep you posted.

ps candyman

there is damm all different about mine, its a fifth floor, kinda pent house, it has in my opinion a very nice layout, a long hall with the 3 bedrooms and living room kitchen and balcony all at the front of the apt, 2 large storage areas, ensuite in master bedroom and balcony too. the two other rooms are largish, with fitted wardrobes,roomy but tackily fitted out bathroom at the bottom of the hall., il be making my own modifications if i get to move in. As far as i know its nothing special, perhaps clodo is right in that someone with mega money made an outrageous offer for it, or they could have sold it twice by accident but i doubt tht because they sent me threatining letters to hurry up and sign the contracts before xmas, surely if there was another buyer they woould have just gazumped me there and then. My solicitor says that ive got an airtight contract and they must give me the apt if i insist. I know that no one else in that block has moved in yet or closed from the site managers info. I was thinking mabye soe large company is wanting to buy out a block for company directors etc, say like pwc who are only up the road, i have heard about deutsche bank doing this for their top staff in london?probably not though in this circumstance

MorningStar · 27-01-2006 2:37pm

You do realise thay can just decide not to sell to you and give you nothing in return? It is legal and you have no option afterwards.

It sounds a bit odd but not amazingly so.

I would suggest be firm but polite, they are probably asking all people with the sam layout as you the same thing. I would suggest asking for remodling work on the place they want to give you and look for too much to be done. You could get the other place perfect and free stuff to boot

armaghman23 · 27-01-2006 7:05pm

christ almighty

cant believe that, surely they must perform their duties as outlined in the contract? Have you had experience of this or know anyone that this has happend to inthe past?

ah well if that is the case then im ****ed completely. I have not had any more news as yet, the solicitor is on the case. I will mention this though and ask their opinion.

thanks anyway

I probably wouldn't take the shortest route through Fairview park in the dark evenings, but in the summer that route would probably be fine. In the winter she'd be better off walking down along Fairview Strand, which is pretty busy that time of the day with people walking heom from town. Then from Annessley Bridge along East Wall road there's always people about, especially after work with people coming from East Point business park. Honestly, I don't think she'll have a problem.

Sorry but I'd have disagree with this. I've been working in East Point for 4 years and the area is a bit dodge to be walking around after dark - I know I wouldn't feel safe if it was me. Fairview Strand clears after a while and it's a bit spooky walking by the park! If possible you should meet her at the station and walk her back. Also Nolans is a bit hit and miss, sometimes you can get baragins and other times its like a the local shop from the League of Gentlemen - if you have a car and don't want to head over to Tescos in Artane keep driving on to Superquinns in Sutton.

Victor · 28-01-2006 5:06pm

You may be prohibited from doing this by the purchase agreement.

My solicitor says that ive got an airtight contract and they must give me the apt if i insist.

What if there is a fundamental problem? Dodgy foundations? Incorrect title on the site? Planning permission error? I would look into all of these before I would feel so self-assured.

I know that no one else in that block has moved in yet or closed from the site managers info. I was thinking mabye soe large company is wanting to buy out a block for company directors etc, say like pwc who are only up the road, i have heard about deutsche bank doing this for their top staff in london?probably not though in this circumstance

I'm guessing your neighbour wants a double-sized apartment or privacy or you have been sold the wrong apartment or they are going for a new planning permission to increase height.

Do not give up this property until you have a contract for another.

I would also suggest you go to a separate solicitor to make sure the contract is water-tight.

That's fair enough. I don't walk that route on a regular basis so I bow to your first hand knowledge. I shall have to restate my preference for Nolans though

. My choice is usually between Tescos in Drumcondra or Nolans and Nolans wins hands down every time. I fcuking hate Tescos in Drumcondra!

Some real good news for those moving into the Lighthouse Apts. Don't worry if you haven't got your kitchen fitted out straight away, cos the Bombay Pantry is opening at the bottom of Philipsburgh Ave, where Apache Pizza used to be. It's their first northside outlet and it's just about the best Indian grub I've ever tasted. It's takeaway only, no sitdown. As good as, if not better than, any of the decent Indians in town and also beats most of the grub I had in India last year..!! Think they're opening in the next week or so, if not already. I can't bloody wait...!!:D

Begs · 06-02-2006 11:11am

I drove down past the Lighthouse Apartments yesterday for the first time in a few weeks. I was only able to look at them from the road so it is hard to tell how they are progressing on the inside, but the grounds and carparks seem some way away from completion. Maybe it'll be like Groundforce when it all comes together in the last few minutes of the show.

The good news for me was that they have started putting on the timber finish on the side wall of my apartment, and it looks quite smart

I also like the metal railings that are around the balcony's on the LH1 apartments - hope the do similar on LH2.

Has anyone had an updates of when snagging, etc is going to take place?

red19 · 07-02-2006 4:39pm

I managed to get in to see my apartment by sweet talking the builders... it is in lighthouse 2 3rd floor. The finish is pretty good, but I was shocked at how small the living space is (I only had overall dimensions) - it doesn't appear to be to scale at all. It makes me wonder was the square footage inclusive of the balcony space!? Balcony on mine was yet to be done. Bedrooms were a nice size. Kitchen units are nice, but were placed on the side of the kitchen area, rather than centred.

maybe so but for the Lighthouse 1 complex I do remember reading apt size = x sq. ft and balcony size = y sq. ft. I think it was listed in the sheet you get when you first look at whats available. It lists all apt nos. and repective sizes and floors etc....

frankdrebin · 07-02-2006 9:18pm

Hey

I am pretty sure that the overall dimensions are EXclusive of balcony space. When I purchased my one bed in LH2, it was one of the questions I asked the estate agent. My balcony is 200 sq foot and if it was included in the overall square footage, it would mean an apartment size of 300 sq foot, which is unlikely. I hope!

The estate agents have been pretty ok with me to date so I cannot imagine why they would not clear this matter up for you.

Thanks for the updates btw - keep them coming.

frankdrebin · 07-02-2006 9:22pm

Anyone know anything about the situation with digital tv? I fear it may be hooked up for NTL only due to the fact that no satellite dishes (and therfore, no SKY) are permitted.

Currently have NTL but its pants in comparison to SKY!

So apartment developments will have a single central stellite dish with a distribution coming of that.

Alternatively can you fit a small dish inside the apartment?

Do you mean your apartment is 100 square feet or square metres.

I agree with candyman. Our apartment sq footage was separate from the balcony sq footage. It was on that sheet candyman mentioned and is in our contract

Getting Sky in is a MUST for me!! I even checked the direction that surrounding dishes are pointing to ensure i could put a dish on the balcony if required - and i can

. If there is a central dish then great, but please please please DO NOT let them impose NTL (Numpties Telling Lies) on us!! :mad: The amount of grief I have endured over the years from them beggars belief.

I still have the list of sq ft's by apartment if anyone needs this.

There are NTL tv points installed in the apartments. Not only is this the "wired for satellite tv" they mention in the apartments specs but I reckon this could also be the "wired for high speed broadband access" aswell.
I doubt there is any "central satellite dish" considering its cabled NTL in all the apartments.

frankdrebin · 08-02-2006 9:34pm

If a satellite dish is erected on your balcony for example, does this not constitute a breakage of contract?

Interesting nobody has a good thing to say about NTL. But that's for another thread.

My g/f checked with the agent today regarding the sq footage. Balcony space is not included in the apartment space. So relax everybody!

City centre apartments are small by nature so we just have to get used to it. In my opinion, it beats living in Kildare or Meath - for the sake of a few extra sq feet in your living area...

Yeah - you are right there about the broadband. I currently have broadband as well as cable with NTL and it just requires a cable modem from the output box on the wall. The standard package is 35 euro per month (speed 1 mg up 256 down, contention ratio 40:1).

There may be rules of behavior as to what you can / can't have on your balcony, e.g. laundry.

Candyman is right I was in our apt the other day The place is wired for NTL through there box. There is a phone line connection beside the NTL box. The place is finished very well. There is a good job done here.

good up and coming area go for it you cant lose

candyman · 20-02-2006 11:10am

i believe they (i.e the builders) are pre-snagging all the apartments before they hand over to the client to eliminate long snagging times. can anyone that has already snagged (clodo maybe?) verify if there is actually much wrong with the place and could you estimate how long it would take from the point of first snagging to actually getting the keys?

clodo · 20-02-2006 9:29pm

Candyman- We got a surveyor in to snag our apartment in January we hope to be in the apartment in March. Our surveyor was extremely detailed in his report, well earned his money. We had ninety points on the shag mostly paint scuffs that were fixed on the re-sang. They did need to replace some items! The finish is good and the kitchen is nice. We have electrical storage heaters which I am not mad about, as they are ugly big things but there is nothing that can be done about that.

candyman · 21-02-2006 11:11am

clodo - what floor are u on in LH1? im not sure but i think they may be snagging floor by floor. im on the 3rd and havent heard a word on snagging as of yet.

good to hear they are looking well!

clodo · 21-02-2006 11:21pm

candyman - i am on the fifth floor. one of the foreman said that thay are wrapping up soon on the third floor. we wont be in untill mid-end of march after st patricks day at least. Great view of the area!

Vivienne · 28-02-2006 1:01pm

Hey guys,
I live on seaview ave which backs on to the much-talked about LH development. I can see LH1 & LH2 from my back garden - LH1 looks almost finished to me but LH2 still has no balconies up or the finish around it. Obviously I haven't seen inside so I've no idea what that's like. The other thing is, how are you guys gaining access to your apts? - will you all be using the laneway from Church rd. or will there be a front entrance from East wall rd. The laneway backs on to the back of my house but its a complete mess at the moment. I was talking to the foreman about a week ago as I was hoping to get a skip down the laneway to get rid of some rubbish but it doesn't look like its going to be in any finished state for quite a while...

candyman · 28-02-2006 2:48pm

there will be two access routes to the LH site:

1. from church road. not the lane that Viv talks about but a security gate about 50 yards up from the lane towards east wall road.

2. from east wall road. with the place being a building site for the offices in front of the apts, this entrance will not be available for quite some time. estimates of late 2007 for office block completion so i guess around then we might get a second entrance.

still not sure how its all going to hang together when it comes to access and security when the offices come online. hopefully they wont leave the east wall gate open permanently for the office staff but at this point i cant see what else they would do. will have to wait and see...

dindindin · 02-03-2006 3:31pm

i heard recently a builder owns the derelict house at start of lane and some houses on seaview(he paid 560k for the 2nd or 3rd house on seaview last year) - he plans to build mews at the back of houses maybe accessing through derelict house.

JACKSPOCK · 10-03-2006 11:19am

Any further updates on Castleforbes Square.

Have bought a 2 Bedroom apartment there myself last October and have just moved in. Given the recent surge in prices looks like anyone who bought in Castleforbes in phase one got a bit of a bargain.The builders put the prices up by roughly 7.5% in January.

Anyone out there know when we might get some new shops in the general area.

Also any news on when the development at the Point Village is due to start.

dindindin · 10-03-2006 4:05pm

i'm just guessing here but i noticed heitonbuckley builder supplies at the start of east road has moved(all there remains is an empty yard) - it's located on east road and across from start of church road which would explain the proposed new entrance being called new east/west street.

Planning permission was granted for the 283 units despite objections. Information here:
http://www.pleanala.ie/allsig.html

I think its a dublin corporation development

MorningStar · 14-03-2006 10:50am

I'm confused at this point where is the devlopment? Is it up by North Strand Road by the cement works or further down by Church Road near the Lighthouse?

Either way I think the council providing more housing in a area that has a lot of council housing already is a prime example of failure to intergrate housing. THey let builders buy their obligation out and then they dump them in areas that don't have a good mix of council and private and make it worse.

JACKSPOCK · 15-03-2006 4:28pm

Anyone know when building work on the 55 apartments and 3 retail units (planning granted in 2004) on the current site Dublin Maritime offices on the corner of Castleforbes Road and North Wall is due to commence.

dindindin · 16-03-2006 10:48am

It has been a bad week for the German discounter Aldi in planning terms. An Bord Pleanála has overturned planning permission granted to Aldi by Dublin City Council for a six-storey over basement development incorporating a discount food store and 43 apartments at the Tucks Fasteners site off East Wall Road, Dublin 3.

The decision came on foot of an appeal by Derek Fitzgerald who said the site's zoning permits only a neighbourhood store.

He said the bord previously refused permission for an Aldi store in Finglas, with the same Z6 zoning and the development would add to existing heavy traffic on East Wall Road.

The bord ruled that the site is located in an area zoned for enterprise and employment and the proposed development, with its retail and residential use, would set a precedent for predominantly residential development in the area. Another blow to Aldi was Dublin City Council's decision to refuse planning permission for a store and 104 apartments at the former Premier Dairies site on Finglas Road North in Dublin 11.

Tell me does any one find sherry fitz a bunch of idiots? They don't seem to know what they are doing half the time. I rang them up there last week to get some sort of date for closing on LH1 to be told that they will be ready for my first snag in April. I had my first snag in beginning of Jan. What kind of joker is this company. I have had this same problem before with them. Also just been told by the foreman (not sherry fitz, who know nothing) that there is no way they are going to be finished before mid May. The whole thing has got me really pissed off now. I am realling at the moment!! I just feel that I am being f***ed around. The only people I can get info out of is the builders. Sherry Fitz are the worst company that I have ever had to deal with.

Begs · 20-03-2006 12:33pm

This is the first experience i have had buying a property in Ireland but certainly from what i have read here and in my dealings with SF it seems that market conditions are so bouyant that customer service is not their top priority!

I am renting at the minute so I asked SF a few weeks back if I needed to extend my lease beyond April, but they said no - obviously I didn't listen to them!!

I also spoke with the foreman a few weeks back but he said that LH2 was on schedule for end of April/early May (as originally advised) but that the courtyards etc would be delayed somewhat.

Perhaps if what you say is the case, then may be they are planning to open both blocks up together mid may?!

I dont understand, arent Sherry Fitzgerald supposed to be "the agent you'd recommend to a friend"??

Once this is all over and Im moved in I plan to lodge a formal complaint with SF management about a certain employee of theirs I have had the utter displeasure of dealing with on this purchase...

SF couldnt even spell "customer service"...

MorningStar · 21-03-2006 11:44am

Has it even dawned on you that maybe the building company are not letting Sherryfitz what is going on? I have dealt with a lot of building companies and stragely they aren't very good at communications. The foreman tells the project manager we are behind and he doesn't tell anybody else.

No love of estate agents but being fair to them just becasue they aren't right doesn't mean they are lying. I have seen many contract messed up due to bad communication.

Begs · 22-03-2006 12:33am

I don't think they are being accused of lying in any way, it is more frustration on my behalf as I believe they could be performing their duties better as the agent in the deal.

I have had zero correspondence from them, I am doing all the chasing and
when I do get a response I am not sure it is accurate as I have already heard something to the contrary elsewhere.

As my agent I believe they should be asking the questions for me - not "being let know" of how the project is going - and as professionals know the right questions to ask, and have an appreciation of timescales, over-runs, etc.

Perhaps they could pass on a little info on how the project is progressing, maybe a few photos of kitchens, bathrooms, etc - just something!!

They are picking up a huge pay cheque for this, I think they should earn it!!

I don't think they are being accused of lying in any way, it is more frustration on my behalf as I believe they could be performing their duties better as the agent in the deal.

I have to agree with BEGS. No one has accused SF of lying they just don't give a dame. In my opinion they (or their employees) are appearing to be obnoxious and money grabbing, from the cold this is it do you want it or not, where is your cheque, attitude to the we will return your phone call with the wrong information when we feel like it inadequacy's.

I will be joining candyman in a letter of complaint. However I think that they must have received a large no. of them already to no affect!! It bolls my blood to think that they are making a fortune from all our deposits on the interest/commission for the past year or more.

BEGS, Although I do appreciate your good intentions in thinking that the two blocks will be opening together, I pass the apartment every day on the dart and the south side balconies are far from being started. I don't think LB2 will be ready for May. I would consider trying to extend your lease
