Under the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme, Cork City Council is helping people on moderate incomes to buy new homes at reduced prices. The scheme is designed to help people bridge the gap between what they can afford to pay currently and the price of a new home.

Eligible applicants must purchase as much of the property as they can, using a mortgage and their deposit, subject to the set minimum price of each house. Cork City Council then take a ‘percentage equity stake’ in the home. For example, if a successful applicant purchases 85% of their home, Cork City Council will take a 15% equity interest in the property.
