Hi all, just wondering if you can help us out. We have bought a house in Beresford Crescent and will be moving in shortly. We are looking for a reliable cleaner to come in and do a proper clean down of the house before we lay carpets, etc... Do you have any recommendations of people you have used? Thanks in advance.
Dan
Hi Dan
I'd recommend you buy a wet/dry vacuum in the likes of Aldi/Lidl for about €40 and use it (without a bag) to vacuum the floors. It will clean up all the little bits of dust. After that it's just a rub down of all the doors, window boards and counter surfaces. All told it should take you a few hours.
The reason I say that firstly, the houses aren't that bad dust wise when you move in and secondly, a regular cleaner is unlikely to be any good at cleaning a bare house without the right equipment.
I used a regular household vacuum on mine and it was never the same again!

Congratulations to those who have moved in and are nearly there, very exciting. Estate looks lovely. We have bought in the Court 39-46, due to be completed in July... but houses only half way up at moment so not sure how realistic July is. Hopefully the weather will stay good which would help.
Have some questions that hopefully one of you will be able to answer?
Are the bathroom floors tiled or left bare?
Anyone get tiled floors in kitchen diner?
Any recommendations for a tiler?
Has anyone gotten built in units either side of fireplace in sitting room and if so any recommendation for a tradesman?
Sorry for lots of questions and thanks in advance for any info.
We have just moved in to the Court and are over the moon. Snagging was minimal and completed in a couple of days.
We got sauco gris wood effect tiles from RPT and they are gorgeous. Tiler was a bit of a character but did a class job. PM me for details.
We are in the process of either building or getting units built in the alcove - will let you know if we find someone to recommend.
Anyone who's in-does your dishwasher just give off a blue light or does it say actual numbers?
Hi, We have a blue light but also a small screen with numbers and icons. We had to call Mick the plumber to check something for us and he had one of his guys over to us within the hour.

Thank you for that!
Can I also ask if anyone in the estate has gotten a Nest thermostat installed and if so could they recommend an installer?
The houses are so warm and well insulated that I wouldn't be bothered with a nest installation. Even if you return home and the heating hasn't been on the house is not cold. Save your money for a water softening system!
Latest I've heard is ESB are holding up things from being completed. They are due on-site next week (Tue/Wed) so lets wait and see if that happens. Once that's done, then a proper snag can be done I guess.

Hey Darragh,
Microwave, oven/grill, dishwasher, hob, fridge and freezer.
Very good quality products as well.
Hello,
Do the white goods some as standard or are they part of a deal if you sign within a certain time frame?
Thanks
Once contracts are signed within a reasonable timeframe I doubt they would not include them, not sure how strict the 4 weeks really is.
My advice would be if you are having delays with contract signing to be very open and honest with Hora.
They are really great to deal with as long as you are keeping them in the loop.
Hello
I find this forum very helpful. We are also moving in to Beresford . Would there be any interest in me setting up a Facebook closed group where we could
1 exchange building and decorating information of houses and gardens
2 discuss particulars involving the estate and it’s community
3 organise events throughout the year and get to know each other
4 address any negative issues which may arise in the estate such as maintenance problems in general areas etc
If people who have bought in Beresford are interested I will set up a closed Facebook page and put the details here .
Let me know what you think.

Great idea, thanks Niamh!
Really find this page useful, thank you to everyone for all the information. We will be moving into a four bed on the court hopefully in June
Great idea about the Facebook group, thanks for organising Niamh!
We just had our attic converted and it took 10 working days.
If anyone living on the Court reads this, I called Panda as none of the black or green bins were collected today. They will send out trucks to collect them tomorrow, so you should leave your bins out tonight!

Hi, very interested in join the group - can't seem to find it on Facebook search though
Did you get a structural review/engineers report done prior to moving in? Not talking about snagging.
If so could you pm me details on who carried it out for you?
