First time buyers and house owners looking to build their own home and live in north Dublin are being urged to apply for a new "ready to build" scheme.
The scheme, which is being offered to those looking to build a home in Fingal, will see the local council make serviced sites (with the necessary infrastructure such as electricity, water and wastewater) available in towns and villages to potential purchasers for the building of a principal private residence. The sites will be sold at a discounted rate of up to €30,000 from the market value which will be determined by the cost of servicing the site.
Part of the requirements of the scheme are that the applicant only buys one site, and that it will be their home once built. Those who already have a home must sell it and move to the newly built home.
