Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how this grant provides financial support for buyers to renovate vacant or derelict properties in Ireland.
This scheme provides financial assistance to help people renovate homes that have been left empty or are in a state of disrepair.
Who it's for
This grant is intended for people who are purchasing a property that is currently vacant or derelict.
What you get
Depending on the condition of the building, you can receive a set amount of funding to help with renovation costs. You can get up to €50,000 for vacant properties or up to €70,000 for derelict properties.
What it costs you
To qualify, you must be able to provide proof that the property has been vacant for at least two years.
The catch to know
You cannot use the grant money to pay for the renovations as you go. You are required to pay for all the necessary work upfront and then claim the grant money back after the work is completed.
How to apply
- Confirm your property meets the vacancy or derelict status requirements.
- Gather your documentation to prove the property has been empty for the required timeframe.
- Complete the application process through your local authority.
- Carry out the required refurbishment work.
