Following a review of the two existing local authority home loan schemes, the House Purchase Loan and the Home Choice Loan, a new loan offering was introduced, from 1 February 2018, known as the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan.

In line with the previous schemes, the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan is designed to enable creditworthy first-time buyers to access sustainable mortgage lending to purchase new or second-hand properties in a suitable price range, or to self-build; it does not include undertaking renovation projects. I have no plans to change this requirement at present.
