Parking Problems in New Dublin Estate Cause Frustration for Homeowners

Frustration and concern is mounting among homeowners over parking spaces in the new Parkleigh estate in Seven Mills, Dublin 22. Homeowners were contractually promised the 'exclusive right' to use parking spaces when purchasing their properties from developer Cairn Homes. However, there is no recourse if someone parks in their spots.

One homeowner in the estate expressed disappointment, stating that they were 'sold a dream that now feels like a nightmare'. The homeowner highlighted the lack of enforcement regarding the 'exclusive use' of parking spots as per the contract.

The homeowner mentioned that South Dublin County Council and the Owners' Management Company have not labeled the spaces with house numbers, leading to confusion and misplaced vehicles. Proposed solutions, such as a street-wide parking monitoring system, were not well-received by residents.

The homeowner raised concerns about the legal basis of including exclusive parking rights in contracts and emphasized the need for accountability from involved parties. The issue extends beyond parking problems to a broader sense of being misled and failed by those responsible for managing their homes.

A spokesperson for Cushman and Wakefield mentioned ongoing efforts to address the parking issue at Parkleigh, with plans for further revision of proposals by the new OMC board.
