New 3 and 4-bedroom homes available for sale at Baker Place, Bridge Street in Knocklong, Co. Limerick designed for you at a discounted price
Limerick City and County Council is pleased to announce the launch of its fourth initiative under the New Build Incremental Purchase Scheme, offering working households on HAP and RAS the chance to purchase discounted market homes in Knocklong, Co. Limerick.
With rural areas facing increased housing pressures, this scheme aims to support working families and individuals in transitioning from private rental accommodation—including those availing of HAP, RAS, or social leasing—into homeownership. Eligible applicants can buy these newly constructed starter homes at a 40–60% discount, based on certain income bands.
Homes on Offer:
- Three 3-bedroom and One 4-bedroom homes priced between €112,000 and €210,000, depending on income.
- Energy-efficient homes with modern features and spacious designs, currently under construction and set to be completed soon.
Application Details:
The application process opens on December 16, 2024, at 9:30 AM and closes on January 10, 2025, at 5:00 PM. Eligible candidates must submit a complete application, including Mortgage Approval in Principle, to be considered.
Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, emphasised the importance of such schemes in addressing rural housing pressure:
"Tackling housing challenges right across Limerick is a critical part of our strategy. It is nice to see this project right in the heart of Knocklong. The scheme, although modest, offers more people an affordable way to settle down. It is part of an objective to foster strong, sustainable communities with a diverse mix of tenures, incomes, and housing types. Home ownership helps create strong community binds and additionally, it reduces reliance on the State exchequer by lessening the need for HAP and RAS revenue spend."
Caroline Curley, Director of Housing, highlighted the success of previous initiatives:
"This is the fourth Incremental Purchase Scheme we've introduced, and we are committed to providing working HAP and RAS households with real opportunities to own high-quality, discounted market homes. We are excited to see this project come to life in Knocklong, which will serve as a template for other towns and villages across the County."
