The Part V provisions seek to promote social integration and secure mixed tenure, sustainable communities. Accordingly, Part V properties secured for social housing are excluded from the Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme to ensure the original policy intent is not eroded over time and the properties remain available for people most in need of social housing support.

Detailed information on the Tenant Purchase Scheme is included in the scheme guidance for local authorities which can be accessed on the Department's website at www.gov.ie/en/publication/f7fda-guidance-for-local-authorities-on-incremental-tenant-purchase-scheme-2016/. Further information may also be available on individual local authority websites.
