Clay Farm, Leopardstown, Dublin 18

The plans for Phase 2 didn't change? Perhaps slightly, but I knew three years ago that Phase 2 would have 800 units, with approximately 300 being houses and the remainder apartments. Phase 2 was never going to be all houses.

And I'm not sure why you have the many exclamation marks after the price of the Fern in Phase 2. It is the exact same price as it was for a Fern in Phase 1 - which given the increase in property prices overall in Dublin (especially with new builds) it seems reasonable to me that they didn't up the price.

Now perhaps you have an issue with paying 490k for a three bed house, and that I would agree with you. But the Clay Farm prices very closely match the prices for similar houses in Glencairn and Glenbourne, so it's not like they are unusually expensive.

Has anyone had any updates from Savills regarding the delays/shut down on construction for phase 2? Has anyone heard about snagging dates as well? Thanks

I had to get the snagging completed in January for my apartment - however Park Developments and my solicitor reached out to me saying the site is closed until Jan end.

We were told that their latest ETA for snagging before the sites were closed was "March" and that now that the sites are closed it's anyone's guess and to sit tight.

We are told that it will be safe to assume that snagging will be delayed by a month as construction is closed for a month.

When was this? I guess that was based on the assumption that construction would reopen at the end of Jan, as originally suggested by the Government. AFAIK construction is very much closed until at least March 5th.

Hi , anybody viewed in the October release have you signed the contracts yet??

Heads up for Clayfarm, paving & patio crowd going door to door. They are working in Larkfield Way right now.!! Be careful as covid19 restrictions still in place.

There was definitely a few builders working over in Phase 2 earlier this week. I doubt they were breaking the law, I'd imagine they may have been fixing or securing something urgently.

But I'd expect them to be all back on site in two weeks.

Looks like construction to remain shut

Hi all,

Anyone have any information on oak hall apts? Currently under construction, I believe.

I'm trying to figure out what thr aspect is like, where they are in the complex in relation to luas stop etc.

My little head is melted with maps (my spatial relations/sense of direction wouldn't be the best! ).

Have a Look at this diagram from the website

https://clayfarm.ie/elegant-apartments/

Enter clay farm and they are about 200m straight ahead on the right hand side, so about 250m from the Luas

Lots of tree cutting & construction ongoing at Clayfarm now..!! Doubt they have permission.!!
Cutting trees by protected wetlands..!!

What a load of tosh.

ASSuming and too lazy to do a basic check on the planning that details this.

But sure throw out a defamatory statement anyway.

Hi
Potentially buying a house in phase 2. Did anyone manage to get the clause into the contract about getting the deposit back subject to loan?
Thanks

Problem is that all houses have main doors that open directly onto footpath, I’ve stepped into dog poo several times and as for all the non resident kids, why are the developers charging the owners management & estate fees if the whole estate is public..??

Do you live on the estate Digiteer? You seem determined to do the place down. Because there are no management or estate fees for house owners, and you'd know that if you owned a house.

We didn't. We tried - even though the Law Society recommend it as a standard part of any house contract but there was no budging them. I hope others might have managed it.

Same here. Tried but didn't succeed.

Yea it's a bit of a disaster and feel nervous about it. We haven't signed anything yet and also contacted park developments about a timeline but obviously they're saying nothing about when houses will be ready.
