Interest in the Social Housing Leasing Programme has increased significantly and there are a number of Enhanced Leasing proposals currently being processed through the assessment, legal due diligence, pre-lease agreement and construction stages, with a resultant increase in output expected in the coming years.

The Enhanced Lease Scheme and related technical documents have been developed to ensure that they are viewed and treated, in respect of the State’s General Government Balance Sheet, as being off balance sheet and to harness the potential of private investment in a way that does not affect the capacity to deliver under other programmes. The Scheme is targeted at new build or new to the market properties, with corresponding delivery timescales, and will complement the existing long-term leasing arrangements, which will continue to be available.
