Details on Part V social housing delivery for each local authority are included in social housing statistics published by my Department. This data is available to the end of Quarter 2 2021 and is available on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/fd048-affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics/.

The table below, sets out an indicative average purchase price of Part V delivered units for each local authority in the years 2016 - 2020, based on the information submitted to my Department. It should be noted that average costs vary depending on design and type of units (e.g. bedroom numbers, apartment/house). Average costs are also determined by the number of units delivered in individual local authorities.

Note 1: The information above is calculated using the financial information available to the Department where Local Authorities have submitted a recoupment claim to the Department.

Note 2: The CALF Capital Outlay represents the average amount of CALF funding provided. (A maximum of 30%).

Note 3: Agreement on Part V arrangements are a matter for the local authorities. In some cases the Part V average is affected by delivery of homes that were subject to agreements prior to the current Part V arrangements. Complete details of PART V arrangements are available from the local authorities.

Note 4: The Part V average lease cost is based on the average full year cost of the Part V lease agreements entered into by each local authority in the relevant year and does not represent the amount claimed or paid in respect of that period. In a Part V leased unit, the lease payment can vary depending on how the equivalent net monetary value has been reflected in the agreement. This is usually achieved by either a rent free period up front or a discount on the lease payment over the term of the lease (or part thereof). Where a rent free period is negotiated in respect of Part V units, no amount will be claimed or paid in respect of the units for that period.
