Under the terms of the current tenant purchase scheme as outlined in circular HRT 6/95 of 18 May 1995 the price of a dwelling is its market value less discounts related to the length of tenancy. A sum of €3,809 is also deducted from the market value. For the purposes of determining the sale price the market value may be further reduced to take account of improvements made by the tenant to the dwelling.
