The houses are available for purchase by first time buyers who do not own or have a legal interest in a dwelling, with some exceptions applicable under the Fresh Start Principle. The dwellings will be sold at a price that is lower than market value, such price to be determined in accordance with the income of the purchaser.
All purchasers will sign up to an ‘Affordable Dwelling Purchase Arrangement’ with Carlow County Council. Carlow County Council will retain an ‘Equity Share’ in the property equal to:
“‘The difference between the open market value of the dwelling and the Purchase Price paid by the successful applicants’ expressed as a percentage of the Open Market Value of the dwelling.”
Carlow County Council may not seek realisation of this Equity Share for a 40-year period (with exception where a breach of the agreement occurs).
