Forty-five new homes are now available for purchase

APPROXIMATELY 45 new homes have been made available for purchase by eligible applicants in Kilcarbery Grange, with a further five dwellings to be made available in this development according to South Dublin County Council.

Twenty-five three-bedroom houses have been offered for sale at Parkleigh, Seven Mills, Clonburris in November 2023 while an additional 34 dwellings will be made available in Adamstown in 2024.

According to the local authority, negotiations are ongoing with developers deemed to have 20 per cent liability  under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to provide affordable and social homes. Confirmation of location and delivery of additional Affordable Housing Units will be made available once negotiations are complete.

Significant affordable housing delivery is also included in the Council’s mixed tenure developments in Kilcarbery, Clonburris, Killinarden and proposed developments at Castlefield and Oldcastle Park.

The Scheme of Priority for Affordable Dwelling Purchase Arrangements outlines the eligibility criteria for the different types of affordable homes based on the number of bedrooms and household members. The dwellings will be sold at a price that is lower than market value (such price to be determined in accordance with the income of the purchaser) and that the Council will take a percentage equity share in the dwelling equal to the difference between market value of the dwelling and the price paid by the purchaser. This is expressed as a percentage of the market value of the dwelling.
