The Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan is designed to enable suitable 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 refurbishment of existing houses.
There are no plans currently to include refurbishment of existing houses as part of the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loans Scheme.
