🏡 YOU CAN OWN YOUR HOME FOR LESS THAN RENTING!
Did you know there are government schemes available that could make buying your first home more affordable than you think?
If you're currently renting and wondering how you could ever afford to buy, two schemes worth knowing about are the First Home Scheme and Help to Buy Scheme.
Here's the simple explanation:
🔑 First Home Scheme: Helps bridge the gap between what you can borrow from your mortgage provider and the price of your new home. The scheme can provide up to 30% of the purchase price (or 20% if you're also using Help to Buy).
💶 Help to Buy: Helps eligible first-time buyers get their deposit together by giving back some of the Income Tax and DIRT they have paid over the previous four years, up to €35,000.
Why is this important?
For many people, getting onto the property ladder isn't necessarily about affording the full price of a home on their own. It's about understanding what support is available and how these schemes can work together to make homeownership achievable.
Don't assume buying is out of reach until you've explored your options!
