PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACANT HOME REFURBISHMENT GRANT OF UP TO €50,000
4 Old Friary Place, Shandon Street, Cork City
Presented by Dan Howard & Co. Ltd Auctioneers
Dan Howard & Co. Ltd Auctioneers are delighted to present No. 4 Old Friary Place, a charming two-bedroom home superbly located just off Shandon Street and only minutes from Cork City Centre.
This well-maintained property offers excellent potential for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a home within walking distance of the city. Many homes on this street have seen significant renovations in recent years, making Old Friary Place an increasingly sought-after residential area.
The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant provides funding to renovate a vacant home in Ireland. The grant offers up to €50,000 for a vacant property.
Key Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the grant, you must meet several conditions. These include:
The property must have been vacant for at least two years and built before 2008.
You must own or be in the process of buying the property.
You need to commit to living in the property or making it available for rent for at least five years.
Applicants must be tax compliant and have a valid tax clearance certificate.
The grant is for individuals, not companies, and must be approved by your local authority before work starts.
How to Apply
The application process is handled by your local authority:
Gather required documents such as proof of vacancy, ownership, quotations for works, and tax clearance.
Submit the completed application form and supporting documents to your local authority.
Your local authority will assess your application, potentially visit the property, and issue a letter of approval if successful.
After completing the approved works (typically within 13 months) and inspection, the grant will be paid based on vouched expenditure.
Important Considerations
Be aware of clawback conditions if the property is sold or no longer occupied/rented within 10 years.
The grant can be combined with SEAI Home Energy Upgrade grants for energy efficiency works, but you cannot claim for the same work twice.
