These quality homes have been designed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and sustainability.
"In addition to Mill Heights, Housing for All schemes such as Leargán in Kilmacthomas, Ballycarnane in Tramore and Summerfields in Kilbarry, are testament to the Council’s commitment to meeting Waterford’s affordable housing needs.”
The minimum purchase price of these quality homes is €300,000 and €330,000 respectively for the semi-detached units and the detached bungalow units.
To apply applicants must be first time buyers or qualify under the Fresh Start Principle, which applies to those who have previously purchased or built a property, but have divested themselves of their interest in the property.
The final purchase price paid by successful applicants will be based on income and mortgage capacity and Waterford City and County Council will take an equity share in the home, representing the difference between the market value and the price paid.
Applications for Mill Heights open at 10am on Wednesday, June 17. Mortgage approval in principle is strongly recommended before applying.
