Ms Nina Murray:

If the applicant meets the criteria in terms of the valuation of the property, the applicant has been deemed by the lender to be in unsustainable mortgage arrears and the applicant has met social housing criteria, it is then made available to approved housing bodies to purchase. A number of approved housing bodies are engaged with the scheme.
