How can I buy an affordable home?

In order to buy an affordable home you need to apply via your local authority. This is the case whether you are hoping to buy an Ó Cualann home or a home by another Approved Housing Body.

How do I apply?

Check your local authority’s website regularly. All new developments will be published online and you apply to the local authority directly.

Applications are live for only a few weeks so keep a close eye for new developments as they come up.

You can also contact your local authority or local councillor directly to ask about upcoming developments.

A list of all local authorities can be found here.

When affordable properties arise the local authorities invite expressions of interest from the public.

Those who apply will be assessed and will need to meet eligibility criteria. Eligibility will differ from location to location.
