Dublin: A project is coming up in Ireland to provide an opportunity for a tenant to buy a rental house. The government has announced that the first home scheme will be revised so that if the rented house is put up for sale, the tenant will be given first consideration.
Darragh O’Brien, the housing minister, unveiled the new scheme, announcing that the eviction ban will be lifted at the end of this month.
The tenant will have the first option to purchase the house under the new scheme. This scheme allows the tenant to purchase the rented house if he decides to sell it. The tenant can buy after an independent valuation, according to the minister.
Financing for second hand houses also.
Last year, the first home scheme was launched. The scheme was given to those who bought new houses for the first time. However, the minister stated that under the new changes, second-hand houses will also receive government financial assistance under this scheme.
The Prime First Home Scheme is the most important component of the government’s Housing for All scheme. This scheme was created to assist the homeless in purchasing a home by paying a portion of the purchase price in exchange for a minority equity share.
Implementation of the France model.
The minister said that changes were made to the first home scheme based on the model implemented in France. The minister stated that an announcement will be made during the summer holidays.
It is believed that the Housing Minister’s new move is intended to allay concerns that the removal of the government’s eviction ban will result in a significant increase in the number of tenants taking to the streets. O’Brien claimed that extending the eviction ban would reduce the number of rental homes, but the opposition charged the government with making an unconscionable decision.
1,000 target leasing units.
According to the housing minister, the government has decided to add 1,000 more target-leasing units to the country. This year, 600 units will be distributed. The majority of these will be one- or two-bedroom apartments.
There will also be a plan to help HAPRAS tenants who have received eviction notices. The minister informed that this year’s Purchase with Tenant will be increased to 1,500 euros. With government assistance. This scheme will be expanded, and the capital advance leasing facility used by recognised housing bodies to market social homes will be amended, the minister said.
Prohibition of eviction; Varadkar defends the decision.
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar also defended the lifting of the eviction ban. Varadkar stated that the cost rental scheme would allow local governments to purchase such homes if tenants were removed for sale. He also stated that there will be the option to continue renting at current rates.
