Applying for an Affordable Purchase Scheme
There will be an individual application for each affordable housing scheme. There is no rolling application form or waiting list.
When affordable homes are made available for purchase, they will be advertised in the following places:
- Carlow County Council’s website
- Carlow County Council’s Social Media pages
- In a local newspaper
- Local Radio
- Affordable Homes website Affordable Purchase Scheme | Cost Rental Scheme
The advertisement will include details about the scheme including how and when to apply. Applications will be accepted through an online application portal only
On the day the application portal opens, you can proceed to complete the online application form and upload the requested documentation.
| Please be aware that applications will be prioritised on a first come first served basis |
|---|
We strongly recommend that you have mortgage approval in principle in place.
A link to the application portal along with a list of the required documentation will be available on Carlow County Council’s website when an affordable housing scheme becomes available and is open for applications.
Your application will be assessed, and it will be determined whether you qualify to purchase an affordable home or not.
When all applications have been assessed and eligibility has been determined, Carlow County Council will contact all applicants to advise whether they have been successful and whether they will be receiving an offer or not, depending on the number of properties available.
