Analysing the average cost to deliver a new social home via the Buy and Renew home for the 12 month period up to August 2021, would not give an accurate reflection of costs as it is drawing from a small data sample.  More broadly, since the introduction of the scheme, approximately 700 properties have been acquired by local authorities for social housing use, with the average cost to deliver these home being c.€195,000.
