Hawkins Wood, Greystones

21-06-2021 5:23pm #1

I see from this that we will soon have some more Glenheron / Archers Wood styled homes (which look very smart) close to Charlesland:

https://www.cairnhomes.com/new-homes/hawkins-wood/

Hawkins Wood is a new development of 2,3 & 4 bedroom houses and duplex in the picturesque and family friendly seaside town of Greystones. The site is situated across the road from Glenheron, another prestigious Cairn development. Located within easy reach of the N11, this location has great transport links into Dublin.

Has anyone any idea what they will cost?

They have the usual POA on their website which always makes me wary as it seems to be code for “we will screw you for as much as we can”.

This is basically more Glenheron, right? I think that to date people have spoken of it as another phase of Glenheron?

I thought it was a completely separate development, but I’m open to correction.

I think it's across the road from Glenheron beside the leisure centre, so it's separate, but I think most assumed when Cairns put in planning etc that they'd just extend Glenheron across the road.

Or maybe this is a different one entirely.

Its Cairn alright, probably the same as Glenheron but I imagine they will cost a lot more, I am curious as to how much more.

They look like nice well built houses but they are a little too tightly packed together for my liking.

Pricing will presumably be along the lines of Archers Wood which is 470 for a 3bed terrace and 490 for 3bed semid

I would think that this will only be the case if was put on the market at the same time as phase 1 Archers Wood. I would expect phase 2 Archers Wood homes to cost more as this is what developers tend to do.

Another factor is the address, although beside Archers Wood (postal address Delgany but although nowhere near Delgany) I think the Greystones postal address will be used to jack up the price even further (despite the fact that in reality it is far more Charlesland than actual Greystones).

cunnifferous · 23-06-2021 7:00pm

Delgany & Greystones prices are generally the same in my experience. Neither of the estates could be considered close to town, although I would prefer Hawkins if I was buying.

I would also think that the HTB cap of 500k would probably prevent them going too much above Archers prices.

Yes, I think you might be right.

So would most people I suspect. Knowing this I expect they will increase the price accordingly.

I would also think that the HTB cap of 500k would probably prevent them going too much above Archers prices.

I don’t think so seeing as though 4 beds in Archers Wood have already sold for far more than this.

Yes sorry I should have been more specific. I was referring to the 3 beds prices as to why I don't think they'll be much more growth above the 490 3bed semid. 4 beds have been well over 500k for a while now so they are different kettle of fish and not targeted at the typical first time buyers

31-08-2021 7:25pm

I heard some pretty crazy prices for Hawkins Wood. Three beds semis for €520!

Anyone else hear anyhting?

No haven't heard anything yet. Know someone looking to buy one it's been total silence regarding pricing and completion dates from the agent.

Where did you heard 520k from. That's strong money!

07-09-2021 3:48pm

The fact that the prices are a closely guarded secret does not bode well for those looking to purchase. I expect that this means that they feel that they can ratchet up the prices more the longer they leave it.

I met someone working on site in the pub and he shared the above price with me. Maybe he was exaggerating, but I don’t think so. Outrageous price in my opinion but I think that some will still pay this.

Viscount Aggro · 23-10-2021 5:10am

I have secured one of the 3 beds, had my choice off the plans.

congratulations!

Can you advise of the pricing for different house types?

Viscount Aggro · 23-10-2021 8:24am

what I am paying, is for a 3bed.

23-10-2021 8:28am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061204#Comment_118061204

That is a lot cheaper than I was led to believe. The look well built.

Is that for the 3 storey terraced?

What is the heating system, is it a heat pump?

What BER are they?

I think you will start a stampede!

I know someone who has been waiting on the release for a long time. How did you manage to secure one?

Viscount Aggro · 23-10-2021 10:36am

Cairn shareholder.

Bought one as an investment.

I don't think you could go far wrong with that.

€535K is a great price.

I wonder if that is the price that they will be sold to the general public at?

mitesh · 19-01-2022 11:24pm

Thats Fantastic. is it Mid-terrace, semi, end-terrace? Do that share that?

Catherine Hogan · 15-02-2022 12:40am

I've been asking the selling agent for months for a price ,still nothing disclosed

Does anyone think €535 is the price for 3 beds ?

lakeroad · 15-02-2022 8:31am

The latest phase in Archers Wood was €515k-530k for 3 beds which would indicate Hawkins Wood will potentially start at €535k or above

15-02-2022 8:41am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117845350#Comment_117845350

Wow!

Only 5 months ago €520k seemed outrageously high and now €535k seems a possibility !!

Thats true! when enquired Agents about pricing there is no answer but more info to be released early march . I dont feel its going to be under HTB scheme. seems like buying a house in south dublin is going to be dream!

lakeroad · 28-02-2022 5:48pm

Phase 1 prices

Hey Guys, is there anybody who has received an appointment but is not interested in this project anymore? I am really really interested in this project but I missed the email somehow! looking for an appointment now!

lakeroad · 28-02-2022 10:27pm

A friend sent this onto me. Similar to yourself we had registered but didn’t receive an email.

Such bad luck!

Is anyone aware of how many 3-bed houses are to be released in this phase? They have not released any sort of site plan.

gashi · 04-03-2022 9:24pm

Only apartments 2 Bed are left. 380 to 390K for an apartment. Extra 40K gets you a nice duplex but all are gone.

Not sure if 2 bed are worth 390K.

DonnieFrank · 09-03-2022 5:22pm

Did anyone book 3 bed houses Semi-D or Terrace? How much are they charging?

DonnieFrank · 16-03-2022 1:50pm

@Addy04 did you manage to secure a house? I gave my name in cancellations but didn't hear yet.

joy_jdk · 27-03-2022 10:25am

Does anyone know if the builder is providing future proof attic trusses designed to assist in attic conversion? I saw it was there for few homes in Archers wood

DonnieFrank · 28-03-2022 2:56pm

@joy_jdk It depends on the house style. Which one was yours 3 or 4 Semi-D I mean the house type? Afaik 3 Semi-D one of the types should be convertible.

lakeroad · 28-03-2022 8:23pm

It doesn’t appear they have. They seem to have used standard prefabricated trusses through out.

Only the end and mid terrace 3 bedroom houses in Archers Wood used the future proof attic trusses.

25-05-2022 11:15pm

I see that the 3 beds have gone up by €20k since the previous phase. As they are over the €500k threshold the help to buy grand is not applicable so effectively they cost €50k more now than just a few months ago! Very nice homes but this is just getting completely out of hand.

I see the 4 beds are only €670k

I wonder how much the next phase will cost.

Greeny666 · 27-05-2022 8:20am

anyone know if air to water heating system is available in Hawkins wood?

27-05-2022 9:43am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119120367#Comment_119120367

Yes, they have this.

cdn16 · 31-05-2022 8:33pm

We are planning on installing our own domestic EV charge point and it is kind of a deal-breaker to know whether or not we can have night-saver meter. So, wondering if anyone knows if we can have a say in what kind of energy meter is being installed for the house…

thanks

01-06-2022 8:00am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119141597#Comment_119141597

I would expect that a smart meter would be an option (possibly the only option as these are new builds). I believe that day / night meters are being phased out. Zappi EV charge points allow users to avail of cheaper off peak rates and can be controlled via a smart phone app.

DonnieFrank · 01-06-2022 4:30pm

@Greeny666 don't think there is another phase of house after this. Just the apartments.

Greeny666 · 02-06-2022 12:13pm

@DonnieFrank thanks Donnie, yeah, 2 buildings for apartments are under construction now,

Annasopra · 08-06-2022 8:06am

Not enough parking spaces in the estate for all the houses!!!

jpd · 08-06-2022 8:55am

Or looking at it another way - too many cars/house.

08-06-2022 9:33am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119172495#Comment_119172495

Yes this is very annoying. It is clearly a consequence of the value of each site.

The developers trick is to have as many people as possible taking up the smallest footprint achievable. Result: houses are crammed together, homes that would have been across 2 floors in the past are now split across 3 floors, tiny or no gardens and nowhere to park your car.

Amazing that developers can do this and still achieve such high prices. I wonder how long this can continue?

Annasopra · 08-06-2022 2:04pm

Well people who buy here wont be able to park in neighbouring estates like Seabourne or Charlesland.

cdn16 · 14-06-2022 8:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119172495#Comment_119172495

Are you talking about the upcoming apartment blocks in the estate? Because, afaik, almost all houses have at least one parking space and most of the houses have two spots on their driveways. Did you check the site plans or with any of the EAs?

Annasopra · 14-06-2022 10:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119203271#Comment_119203271

Yeah probably the apartment blocks

ARJn · 03-07-2022 10:06pm

Prices don't seem to be falling at all , new phase on archer woods(last week) started at 540k for mid-end terrace north facing 3 beds , I am guessing hawkins wood will follow the same trend

HTB is pretty much useless in most of dublin commuter towns

Rockmyworld88 · 07-10-2022 1:55am

the social housing is also very cramped to one side of the development and correct me if I am wrong ? The two blocks of apartments are all build to rent? With the council trying to secure the tenancies? I am surprised because usually it’s a requirement to spread the part v houses out evenly in a development. Shame also there are no solar panels.

JimmyCorkhill · 04-11-2022 6:51pm

Does anyone remember on the first release/phase/viewing would all the houses/apartments have been snapped up by those who came to view on the first day/weekend of viewing? And whether some people ended up on a cancellation list or not?
