Graydon, Newcastle

Hiya, I'm sale agreed on a duplex but still ironing out some particulars on mortgage, but do hope to be in by Christmas. Got email yesterday saying it's ready for snagging so I have to come back to them to request a time and date.

We went sale agreed on one of the houses as well, and have signed the contracts but haven't received any updates on snag yet.

Thanks for your response. Snagging for our house confirmed for next week. How did your snag go; Were there any major issues and did they give a time-line for fix?

does anybody know if Graydon released 2bed appts? What the price range for 2bs?

I think they're around 290-300k. Not lower than that anyway.

310 K...Least value for money perhaps

Question more about the heating/ventilation system in the houses rather than the estate itself but does anyone else find their place a little chilly? I have our downstairs set to 20c and upstairs to 19c and leave them be as instructed. There is an icy breeze/draft coming from the wall vents that really makes the place cold. I'm thinking of taping them up which surely is not a great thing to be doing.

Slept in the spare room last night to test temperature and it was absolutely freezing with a cold draft while the joule wall console said it was 19c as usual. Anyone else having similar issues?

That could be it. I'm going to get my hands on a thermometer over the weekend and do a bit of checking against the console.

In fairness, any little queries or small issues that I've raised with the foreman have been looked after. One of the benefits of being in the estate relatively early I guess.

Hi,

Could anyone recommend a good snagger who's familiar with this development please?

Thanks

@dzdz Have you secured an appointment in this new phase? Just out of curiosity, when you received the email about the new release, how long did it take you to reply?

Thanks and good luck with the new buy 😁👍🏼

@FTBr Yes, I had a discussion with the letting agent, they confirmed I replied within 2 minutes but still didn't get an appointment. So I was just wondering from someone who has got an appointment, what did they do differently?

2 minute reply is pretty quick, it's hard to believe 30 other were quicker 😅

Also I was told the email is sent to all registered in 1 go. Now it could be possible people don't receive it straight away? 🤔

I was able to secure a viewing for today after missing out on previous 4 phases - here is the timeline based on email metadata;

17:46:28 - Email sent out by Cairn Homes

17:46:37 - Emai received by Gmail

17:46:58 - Reply sent out

Hope that helps and best of luck with next phase or cancellations!

Strange Process : Houses available even today.

Right opposite proposed school site and few others which were booked earlier in morning. Perhaps near school is not preferred by many.

Hi All,

I replied to the launch email within 30 seconds and managed to get an appointment on the first day of viewing for Graydon Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. There were plenty units available when I did the viewing.

With the current market for new builds you have to be alert if you want to secure a property in Dublin unless of course if you have a strong budget of 700k plus for a house then the demand wont be the same. 600k plus should be easy to secure.

These steps would help for anyone trying to secure a new build in the likes of Somerton, Newcastle, Lucan or Tandy's Lane or anywhere which is in demand (500k & below properties):

-Set up a separate email address with which you can register yourself for all these properties.

-get you and your partner to log into this account from your phone.

-Ensure you have the Gmail app which is the fastest at notifying you on emails.

-As soon as you get an email about the launch hit the link- if it opens up an email, just type appointment and send email. If it takes you to the form, fill as fast as possible and hit submit.

-If you are targeting certain developments I would advise speaking to the selling agents to get a estimated date of Launch(they will tell you in which week it is launching) be alert in that week with your emails.

Hope the above helps and best of luck in securing a house.

Could anyone who is living in Graydon tell me if its a good place to live ? or is a town like kilcock better than Newcastle?
