AFFORDABLE PURCHASE SCHEME
The Affordable Housing Scheme makes local authority-provided homes available at a reduced price for First-Time Buyers, and Fresh Start Applicants, whose combined mortgage and deposit will not cover the market price of the newly built home. Eligible applicants can apply to purchase a local authority delivered Affordable Purchase dwelling through Wexford County Council.
In addition to its relative affordability, there are a number of government schemes available to support buyers getting onto the property ladder such as the Help to Buy incentive, the First Home Scheme, as well as many local affordability schemes assisting first-time buyers with deposits or to bridge the gap between mortgage approval and purchase price. The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant is also encouraging the regeneration of existing houses, providing opportunities for buyers to restore and personalise homes across the county. These excellent initiatives, combined with reasonable overall property costs ensure Wexford is an accessible option for home ownership.
Combined with shorter commutes, lower cost of living and a strong quality of life, Wexford is an attractive county, full of opportunities for individuals, families and returning diaspora looking to put down longterm roots.
