Roscommon County Council are seeking expressions of interest for the delivery of new dwellings under the Starter Home Scheme.

In this call, building contractors and housing developers are being asked to consider offering properties with planning permission to Roscommon County Council under an advance purchase turnkey arrangement.

How Roscommon County Council can help you in this process

Where proposals for starter homes are received and considered acceptable, Roscommon County Council will make an application to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for Affordable Housing Funding (AHF) under the Starter Home Scheme.

Once funding is agreed, we can enter into an advanced purchase agreement with you.

The advance purchase agreement provides for the direct sale of homes by the developer to an eligible purchaser nominated by the local authority.

Roscommon Councill will assess the purchaser’s eligibility and nominate them to you.

The nominated purchaser will purchase the property at an agreed discounted price with Roscommon County Council paying the difference of the market value of the property directly to the developer.

Affordable Housing Funding (AHF) under the Starter Home Scheme is subject to approval by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
