Actually many more 4 bed house types in DM too, 4 or 5 I think?? May be wrong?
Theoracle, is it your understanding that all the 4 beds in the DM are gone, or is it just the phase (1) 4 beds in DM?
I think the reason they are going up in price relative to HP is that there are a lot fewer houses in DM, and IMO the estate looks better.
Ellebelle is correct. The Lavery in HP has been 490K all along, its the swift that has dropped from 490K to 440K.
I saw a north facing Lavery for sale for 490K 2 weeks ago in the sales office, this is the same price it was last September.
I think it inaccurate to say that the prices of HP are dropping - the 3 beds have risen in price, the 4 beds have a lower starting point, given they have different garden sizes and aspects to phase 1 and the 4 bed detached house type has risen by over 50K. I think HP is being quite misleading in advertising the 4 beds as starting from 440K, particularly as the majority are well in excess of this and some up to 650K.
I'm finding it hard to gauge which estate is more in demand. People seem to consider that there are pros and cons to both...
HP is far more in demand. House size, amenities and transport (access to public in particular) prob the reasons I'd say as DM is more manicured. That's because it's got management fees though.
HP has outsold DM about 2-1. They have more houses to sell but that has no bearing on demand. If DM was where HP was and the houses the same size I'd say it would be sold out....
No doubt HP is the better all round estate and pound for pound the Lavery is prob the best house around if you can get one for 490-520k. Huge attic ready to convert with a 40ft back garden if you want to extend kitchen/living which is great for future proofing. 490 was absolute lowest for these and just for north facing back with tall trees of Winterwood (Ben Dunne) to the rear. I wouldn't discount how big a negative that is. I looked at and didn't buy one on day 1 for that reason. I know another 2 who also didn't. Bit silly in some ways given our weather but it's a "negative" I suppose. Better aspects are above phase 1 price for Lavery now I hear. We're there any south facing in phase 2?
Yes a good while now - but didn't get the southerly aspect we were looking for!
Really happy with the place, the 3 estates are all nice but for the reasons above it ticked all the boxes.
Have you got in broadband yet? I was wondering do Eir offer fibre to the home for brand new estates? This is the fibre that offers the 1000Mb/s speeds rather than the 100Mb/s speeds.
How do you find the traffic in mornings and evenings if you drive?
How much are the 3 beds in DM going for do you know?
About a month ago they had one left with east facing garden at 395 and 2 with west facing garden were 405. Off the plans.
Do you know if these were mostly terraced houses? Have they sold any semi-detached ones?
Anyone know if the small row of 4 x 4 bed semis in DM that look onto the side of diswellstown house have been released yet? That row looks quite nice on the plans.
Yet to be released.
Apologies I meant to say Diswellstown not Hamilton Park.It was released the weekend before last.
From the plans i've seen, phase 2 of Diswellstown Manor will be the summer and that will be all remaining houses at that stage. I quoted figures earlier in this thread but I think about 60% of the development has been sold in phase 1 or is under deposit.
Will they go up? I would guess so. 3 beds will rise once a showhouse is there, especially with the 3 bed price rise in Hamilton taken into account. 4 beds last I checked were 515 (Not sure if they went up?) and 5 beds had risen to 620.
The 4 beds don't appear to have gone up in price as from recollection they were 515K at launch. 5 beds have increased by 25K.
It is interesting that overall prices appear to be increasing for both developements (DM & HM) whereas from looking on myhome, most secondhand house prices in Castleknock area seem to be dropping their price in order to sell. I wonder is that a consequence of the new developments in the area which is impacting sellers of second hand homes to sell at prices on par to new homes..
