Request for Expressions of Interest for the provision of affordable housing through advance purchase
turnkey acquisition.
Waterford City & County Council are seeking expressions of interest for the delivery of new dwellings for affordable housing in Waterford City, in accordance with the provisions of The Affordable Housing Act 2021.
In this call, home builders and housing developers are being asked to consider offering properties with planning permission to local authorities under an advance purchase turnkey arrangement. Payment will be on completion. Please note that the requirements under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended will apply in the normal way to all proposals.
The Affordable Housing Act 2021 provides for Local Authorities to acquire, build or cause to be built, affordable dwellings that can be subsequently sold to eligible applicants (assessed by Waterford City & County Council) through direct sales agreements between purchasers and developers.
The Affordable Housing Fund funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage will provide a subsidy (based on set criteria as outlined below) that will reduce the cost of a home for first time buyers or those seeking a fresh start. Waterford City & County Council will retain an equity stake of up to 30% of the dwelling.
All submissions made under this Expression of Interest will be assessed and approved by the Housing Agency and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
