I only see there is a thread for Silken Park, great to have a read of this, I purchased a 2+study in April this year and can not wait to move in, I was talking to Andrew last week and he told me it was going to be late December for snag. Is there anybody else waiting to move in? How is the area I am from Kildare so I don't know much?

Hi we also purchased 2 bed + study at very end of April on the day of pre launch as they pretty much sold out fast. Yes same with me I have a date for snag to be week of 11th is December. Originally we were expecting move in to be by end of the this year but there has been delays ESB I heard so it will be start of next year.

hey Guys,

Here is a news piece about new social housing in the area. Its close enough to both CWV ( where I bough) and Silken Park.

http://www.echo.ie/tallaght/article/rapid-build-houses-start-at-st-aidan-s-in-tallaght

Most communities like Clontarf are pushing back on Council housing in their areas for obvious reasons, the SDCC sneaked a lot of it near Tallaght/Citywest as the areas are still upcoming and there is no protest from residents.

80 houses is a lot when you compare it to other areas where only 20 or 30 have been built at a time.

Oh you already got a snag date we were just told end of December that is exciting hopefully we will be in early January can't wait, the houses are flying up altogether. Guys if anybody has moved in would love to see pictures especially myself of the 2+study.

Sounds like everybody is happy so far which is a good thing delighted. How much did you guys who have moved in pay for snagging if you don't mind me asking? What came up on the snag? And how long after you got the go ahead to snag did you guys move in?

I had a look myself today they look great we are at the very back also our house is built, usually I just talk to Andrew about it but all I get is early January so seems to be the same, even if snagging is 11th of dec probably wont get much done.. but i dont know really how long it takes. By next March the whole estate will be done!!!

Houses 🡠going up quickly. Can sneak into some gardens if u around 😊To get a. Bettet look. We r living there now for a week. Finding bits a pieces not working or not done properly but once u email the agent builders are trying to fix it asap. So so far all good. Except noicy water pump but next week they comming to check it neighbours so far nice. Even w building site onnot too loud. Houses 52 53 54 55 56 look all done.

Keep sneaking into the back garden myself to take pictures over the wall, I would say you guys who have moved in facing the 50s are sick of people driving down to look in, I was there yesterday and everybody has bins outside... can someone tell me what is included in the maintenance charge that we pay?

sebyke

52 +houses have bins outside as [font=arial, sans-serif]Greyhound [/font]had put their bins there ( as far as I know without knowledge of the house owners) Thorntons recycling are the other company in the area collecting bins. Likely greyhound wants to beat the competitor by placing their bins there. Hence you saw bins outside.
management fees are for light /streets maintenance as your parking and path not our property so they clean and look after it, cut the grass and so on.if  you need more data on this ask your agent.

cawleyp2

Roughly how long after snag did you folks get your move in date?
Did much come up in your snag that needed attention?
Have been given an Oct date for our snag. Getting very close now.

sebyke

Hi  , nothing major  just small issues and those were fixed within a week . after if u wish u can have  checked again by same snag person or u can do it yrself. Once u r happy  and have the money from the bank week top 2 and u get the keys

cawleyp2

Got to snag yday. Minor issues only. Very impressed with finish. The electricity is still not connected, the builders were able to commission appliances with a generator. Should have connection soon enough.
Have found dealing with Durkan folks directly the easiest part of the buying process, very open and available to answer any questions.

sebyke

congrats ! almost there :-D

Ando999

We did our snag 6th of sept..we have yet to get the keys. I dont know what the delay is so frustrating!

sebyke

email Aideen and ask. She is very nice and helpful
Once they had the money from our bank we had the keys in like 3 days
Hope u guys can sort it out fast! good luck!

No we are waiting to close..thats why i was wondering was anyone else waiting this long since there snag

sebyke

our went pretty fast. bank sent the money on Friday . our solicitor confirmed receiving and forwarding the funds on Monday and we had the keys on Thursday same week.
Not sure if due to our solicitor requesting keys asap after completion of transaction or they just actually acted fast . Would maybe ask yr solicitor how long should this be going on if he can get a conformation form the other party Worth of trying.

Kdoyeni

Anyone get a call yesterday that closing of the purchase will now be earlier. I got a call that we will be closing earlier now and snag will be soon

Kdoyeni

Hi, Does anyone know what appliances comes in the 2 bedroom plus study houses?
