What is the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant?
The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant
provides funding so you can refurbish vacant and derelict homes. You can also
use it to renovate properties that have not been used as residential properties
before.
How much is the grant worth?
You can currently get up to €30,000 to
refurbish a vacant home and €50,000 for a derelict home. The grant includes
VAT. However, these grants are due to increase to €50,000 for vacant homes and
€70,000 for derelict homes.
Does my property meet the criteria for
the grant?
The grant currently applies to vacant
properties built before 1993, and you must live in the property as your main
residence once the work is completed.
However, from 1 May 2023, the grant will be
extended to vacant properties built before 2007 and to people who want to rent
out the properties when they are refurbished.
How do I qualify for the grant?
To qualify, you must own the home, or be in
the process of buying it, and it must have been vacant for two or more years.
You must also have tax clearance from Revenue, have paid your Local Property
Tax, and your tax affairs must be in order.
How do I apply for the grant?
You must complete an application form and
send it to your local authority. You must provide supporting documents that
prove that the property is vacant or derelict and that you own it or are trying
to buy it. You will also need a quote for the work.
If your application is successful, the
grant will paid when the work is done and the local authority has inspected it.
