Madness that people are paying these prices when there's plenty of terraced houses in MillBrook/Watergate/Springfield for 200K.

Or 250/300K for semi D's in old bawn/Aylesbury.

More amenities and transport on your doorstep too.

Might be because these are new builds

I have spent the last 2 years looking at houses around 275k mark (including around Oldbawn and Aylesbury) and in terms of space nothing even comes close to these. 280k / 120 sqm = 2,333 EUR/sqm in Cuil Duin. 280k / 80sqm = EUR 3,500/sqm in Oldbawn. It's mad that people are willing to spend that much for a semi D in Oldbawn/Aylesbury. And that's without even going into Luas vs Dublin Bus, A rated vs D rated, new vs second hand.

This doesn't affect those who already paid the deposit, does it?

PokeHerKing

Sorry I should have said in my opinion. To each their own and all that. Friends have bought similar houses in saggart and they're 3 floors 5 bathrooms. Front door opening into your sitting room. No front garden, small back gardens.

These might be different but along with the area I just don't see why people would want to pay these prices.

Not sure what the Dublin bus/Luas comment means?

conormc1984

So where are these 200k mid terrace houses that you speak of in watergate/millbrook ??

An eot house on my road in Watergate sold for 210K in December. A friend just went sake agreed on an eot in Springfield for the same price.

Not saying they're plentiful but just voicing my opinion when I saw the prices quoted on this thread.

New builds have so much more efficiencies that they carry some premium for example the high level of insulation. But how much are they worth?

Here is the report from the flooding back in 2011. Looks like the water spilled on to the roundabout leading to the development, but that's about it. I work for an insurance company, will check the flood rating for the area when I come back from holidays

Only got round to checking the flood rating now - it's green, no issues

Did anybody get their contracts, guys?

Devassy

No

Me neither

No contacts either, our surveyor said competition date should be around 1st Feb 2017

Has anyone had a look at:
google/maps/place/Cuil+Duin/@53.284893,-6.4330302,675m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48677467014b7713:0x556e3697d68b54da!8m2!3d53.284505!4d-6.433161

If you look at the satellite view and look at the road that runs in front of the houses on Citywest Avenue (Look at site plan to see Citywest Avenue: cuilduin/site-plan/) it looks as if the road should have been in the past joined up to around about further on.

I have asked the question about the road and am still waiting 3 weeks later to hear anything.

My fear is that the road is connected up and then I have a public road in front of my house.

Has anyone heard anything about this road?

robo

Good luck getting any information - my solicitor was finally informed last week that it will be another month before they get the contracts. :rolleyes:

Leah32

This is also my fear as we were told they don't know if it's been connected as it was their from last development that fell through.. We put deposit on that road and want it clarified before contracts!!

Is it just the booking deposit that you put on?

Leah32

Yes as no contacts as yet

Alter_Ego

Well, the site plan shows trees growing in the middle of that road :rolleyes: Presumably, if it gets connected up in the future, they would need to install a fence alongside it. There is a fence already at the other (Carrig Court) side of the road.

My concern is that I have both asked the question to the estate agents and the developers and neither has come back to me on my concerns (its been 4 weeks). Trees on the site plan doesn’t necessarily mean that they will plant there and at present the road is been used by the developers.

What road are you on for that date? View, Row or Ave?

tintin23

I am on Citywest Avenue myself and i am guessing that hey will build a wall or some sort of fencing to prevent direct access to the road in front. I suppose the road will join the new Topaz station on N82. BTW anyone has any update on the contracts? EBS's offer of cash back on mortgage is ending in October. if they don't extend the scheme we all will end up loosing ~€6000 .

CygnusXone

Further developments.

I have gotten a call from the estate agents and they have confirmed that the road in front of the houses on Citywest Avenue will be connected up in the future. If you have been out there and looked at the road and where the houses are in relation to it there isn’t a huge amount of space for any sort of a wall or barrier.

Not good news, but worthwhile knowing if you are considering buying a house there.

tintin23

EBS offer extended up to March 2017
