And best thing of all, Kilmartin Grove is perfectly suited for first-time buyers as it qualifies for a wide range of financial incentives such as the Help to Buy, the First Home Scheme, and the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme (in partnership with Fingal County Council).
Let’s use a two-bed property in Kilmartin Grove listed on the market for €410,000 as an example of why this community is an excellent option for first-time buyers. If we take into consideration a couple with a joint income of €80,000 & Mortgage Approval in Principle (AIP) of €320,000, their purchasing power will be calculated as €355,556. This calculation takes into account the applicants maximum mortgage capacity and the minimum price set for the home by Fingal County Council.
This will be considered as the purchase price of the affordable home, which is equal to the mortgage AIP, plus a 10% deposit of €35,556, as required for first-time buyers.
The Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme can be used in conjunction with the Help to Buy Scheme, which means that eligible applicants can get up to €30,000 towards their deposit. In the example mentioned above, this means that the cash deposit needed is only €5,556.
The Local Authority will then make up the difference between the purchase price of the affordable home and the market value of the property. This means that Fingal County Council can contribute €54,444 in return for a 13.27% equity share in the property.
