FIANNA Fáil councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has welcomed an amendment to the Miscellaneous Housing Bill allowing tenants in local authority apartments to purchase their own properties.
Cllr O’Flynn said, “On my recent canvass this issue kept coming up and at last the now tenants will have the right to buy their homes with the legal reform in this area”.
Interested applicants should complete the Tenant Purchase Application form and return same to the Housing Department.
On receipt of completed application form, the Council will arrange for a valuation of the house with the Council’s appointed valuer.
The price of the house / apartment will be its market value, as determined by the Council, in its existing state of repair and condition, less discounts.
Cllr O’Flynn concluded, “This is a great way of giving people a leg on the property ladder and giving them the security of knowing they own their own home”.
