How can I apply?
Applying for an Affordable Purchase Scheme
There will be an individual application for each affordable housing scheme. There is no rolling application form or waiting list.
When affordable homes are made available for purchase, they will be advertised in the following places:
- Laois County Council’s website
- Laois County Council’s Social Media pages and
- In a local/national newspaper
The advertisement will include details about the scheme including how and when to apply. Applications will be accepted through an online application portal only. On the day the application portal opens, you can proceed to complete the online application form and upload the requested documentation.
Please be aware that applications will be prioritised on a first come first served basis.
We strongly recommend that you have mortgage approval in principle in place.
A link to the application portal along with a list of the required documentation will be available on Laois County Council’s website when an affordable housing scheme becomes available and is open for applications.
Your application will be assessed, and it will be determined whether you qualify to purchase an affordable home or not.
When all applications have been assessed and eligibility has been determined, Laois County Council will contact all applicants to advise whether they have been successful and whether they will be receiving an offer or not, depending on the number of properties available.
