The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has introduced the Starter Home Supports campaign, designed to consolidate five separate housing schemes under one umbrella. This initiative seeks to simplify the process for individuals exploring their housing options, whether purchasing, renting, or renovating.
The campaign highlights support available for homebuyers, including the Starter Home Purchase Scheme, which offers shared equity through local authorities, the Help to Buy Scheme providing tax refunds for deposits, and the First Home Scheme for eligible buyers in the private market. Renters can benefit from the Cost Rental Scheme, which offers affordable housing targeted at middle-income households. Additionally, those interested in refurbishing properties may apply for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant to assist in restoring derelict homes.
Within Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, the Starter Home Purchase Scheme is a significant part of the broader Starter Homes Programme, aiming to help eligible buyers overcome affordability challenges when acquiring newly built homes. This effort supports the development of sustainable communities by increasing homeownership opportunities. More details about all available supports can be found on the official government website.
