Description
Redevelopment Opportunity in the heart of Longford town, two adjoining mid terrace houses with a large garden to the rear, in need of complete refurbishment.
Both houses were extended in the past to create an additional flat to the rear of each house. Both have been vacant for a considerable period of time and will qualify for the vacant home grants available for refurbishment works.
The Croí Cónaithe Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant scheme aims to bring empty and derelict homes back into use. It provides up to €50,000 to renovate a property that has been vacant for at least two years, rising to €70,000 where the building is deemed derelict and structurally unsound. This property has been put on the derelict site list should qualify for the maximum grants.
The grant can be used if you intend to live in the property as your principal residence or rent it out. There are also SEAI energy grants also available.
