This scheme is for the purchase of new local authority-built houses. It does not apply to apartments/flats or existing local authority houses.
The Incremental Purchase Scheme is a purchase option to meet the needs of those requiring long-term housing support. The scheme supports existing low-income tenants and assists prospective local authority tenants to make a start on the route to home ownership. There are two types of household that can be considered for inclusion in the incremental purchase scheme:
- Households that have been assessed by Limerick City and County Council as being eligible for and in need of social housing support
- Households who are already in receipt of social housing support from Limerick City and County Council, i.e. existing Local Authority or Approved Housing Body tenants and households accommodated under RAS (Rental Accommodation Scheme), HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) Scheme and Long Term Social Housing Leasing Scheme
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible to apply to the scheme applicants must satisfy a number of criteria.
