Affordable Housing

Meath County Council are making additional funding available to eligible applicants who are seeking to purchase a newly built home but need additional funding to bridge the gap between their mortgage and deposit to cover the entire cost of the home by way of taking an equity stake or share of the ownership of the property under the Affordable Housing Scheme.

We currently have no properties available to purchase under the Affordable Housing Scheme.
As more properties become available, they will be advertised in advance of the online application portal opening, on our website and social media platforms.

If you wish to prepare your application in advance of future schemes please see below the links to our Frequently Asked Questions; review the Documentation Required and read the information on Preparing to Apply carefully.

Applications cannot be made by post, email or over the phone.
