BENEFITS OF BUYING A NEW HOME
WELCOME TO OUR BENEFITS OF BUYING A NEW HOME
New Home buyers exclusively can take advantage of the shared equity schemes sponsored by the Government of Ireland. The First Home Buyers Scheme is available to buyers who need up to 30% of the price of a new home to put with their mortgage approval amount and their savings. It bridges the gap to allow them to be able to buy. The Help to Buy Scheme is a tax relief available to first time buyers than they can use towards the purchase of their new homes. It can be used for properties that are priced up to €500,000.
