This development qualifies for The First Home Scheme and the Help-To-Buy Scheme.

Find Out More

The First Home Scheme is a shared equity scheme that helps first-time buyers bridge the gap between their deposit, their approved maximum mortgage and the purchase price of the property they would like to buy.

If you qualify for the scheme, the Government and participating lenders will provide up to 30% of the market value of your new home, in return for the same percentage share in equity in the property. This is reduced to 20% if you are also availing of the Help to Buy Scheme.

The First Home Scheme

The Help to Buy scheme is a tax rebate provided by the Irish government which helps first-time buyers overcome the hurdle of getting their deposit together. 

The scheme will help you with the deposit you need to purchase a newly built house or apartment worth up to €500,000. The funds will go towards your deposit, up to a maximum of €30,000 (or 10% of the property price, whichever is less).

The Help-To-Buy Scheme

All On Your Doorstep

The team at Glenveagh understands that buying a home is possibly the biggest decision you will ever make in your life – but we want to make it your easiest. Put simply, our aim is to exceed your expectations in every way possible.
