The Help-to-Buy incentive is a government initiative designed to help first-time buyers (or other eligible home buyers), with raising the deposit needed to purchase a new home to
€30,000 available.
Under the incentive and in association with Revenue.ie, you may receive a refund or rebate of Income Tax and Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) paid over the previous four tax years.
1. Application Stage: is an online process through Revenue online to determine if you qualify. If you do, an application/access number is provided. Applications expire within approx.
six months, subject to when the application was made. but can be reapplied for until you purchase your new home.
2. Claim Stage: Signed Contracts and Evidence of Loan Offer needs to be shared with Revenue.
3. Verification Stage: The information provided regarding the house purchase is verified by the Developer. The access code is shared with them and the HTB funds are paid directly to the Developer.
The First Home Scheme (FHS) is a Government provided ‘Affordable housing scheme’ designed to help bridge the gap for first-time buyers (and other eligible homebuyers) between their deposit and mortgage, and the price of their new home which must be within the County price cap limit of the area.
The price cap limit for Cork County Council is currently €425,000.
The Scheme provides homebuyers with what is known as an equity facility. This means that homebuyers will enter into a contract with the FHS and receive funds from the Scheme in return for the FHS taking a percentage ownership in the property purchased.
The percentage ownership that the FHS holds in your home is known as an equity share.
The FHS can fund up to 20% of the purchase price of your new property if the Help to Buy Scheme (HTB) is being used, or 30% if the HTB is not being used.
You can buy out all or part of the equity share at any time, (though certain events will mean
it must be paid back in full, to include any outstanding service charges). Unlike a mortgage or personal loan, there will be no fees or charges applied to your equity facility for the first five years. From the start of year six following the drawdown of your FHS Equity Facility, if you have
not fully redeemed the equity share, a service charge will begin to accrue against your account.
