APPLICATIONS ARE SET to open this week for the launch of 40 one-bedroom \u201caffordable\u201d apartments in south Dublin.<\/p>\n

The new development is located\u00a0at St Laurence\u2019s Park in Stillorgan. It was developed by D\u00fan Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (DLRCC) on its own land and is being delivered through the Affordable Purchase Scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prices for one of the 21 one-bedroom apartments without a parking space start from \u20ac255,000.<\/p>\n

For one of the 11 apartments with parking, prices begin from \u20ac270,000. Prices for a further eight \u201clarger\u201d apartments also start from \u20ac270,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The application portal will open on Wednesday, 12 August at 12pm and close on Wednesday, 2 September at 5pm. They can be made online here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DLRCC said the development \u201coffers modern apartment living\u201d in one of south Dublin\u2019s \u201cmost desirable neighbourhoods, with Stillorgan Village, shops, caf\u00e9s and restaurants all within walking distance\u201d.<\/p>\n

The new development also includes a new two-storey library and community spaces.<\/p>\n

The Affordable Purchase Scheme makes newly built homes available at a reduced price for first-time and other eligible buyers who cannot afford to purchase a home at its open market value.<\/p>\n

To be eligible to apply, applicants must have a minimum deposit of 10% of the purchase price and the affordable home must be their normal place of residence.<\/p>\n

DLRCC\u00a0then provides an equity contribution of 10% to 40%, reducing the amount buyers need to borrow.<\/p>\n

In return, the council retains an equivalent equity share in the home, which owners can choose to buy back over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DLRCC chair Barry Saul said the scheme \u201cis great news for people looking to make their home in Stillorgan\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith excellent transport links and the addition of the new Stillorgan Library later this year, this will be a great place to live and be part of a growing community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInitiatives like this help to create strong, inclusive neighbourhoods across D\u00fan Laoghaire-Rathdown.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"APPLICATIONS ARE SET to open this week for the launch of 40 one-bedroom \u201caffordable\u201d apartments in south Dublin.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":589201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[248830,615,807,3662,61,60,43,22867,248831,83767],"class_list":["post-589200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-affordable-purchase-scheme","tag-dublin","tag-housing","tag-housing-crisis","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-south-dublin","tag-st-laurences-park","tag-stillorgan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=589200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/589200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/589201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=589200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=589200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=589200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
