Affordable Housing Initiative Greater Dublin Area-Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow

Re: Affordable Housing Initiative Greater Dublin Area-Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wick

Just a quick update, I got in touch with the AHI and they said the S23 owner occupier relief is for the first occupier and as the AHI never occupied the apartment there should be no problem for us to receive the relief. I contacted Sheehan and Co to try get the correct statement of cost but they wont deal with me they will only deal with my solicitor. If anyone else has any joy keep us posted.

For the ESB bills, make sure the developer paid his share before you took it on. Usually when houses are built, they use it to test if all the electric fittings work and some kindly pass it on to unsuspecting eager new homeowners. It happened to a friend of mine last year and she asked ESB to break the bill down into 2 categories:

1- the balance she was bringing forward from her previous place and
2- the new balance in the new house.

Based on #2, she was able to deduct from the time frame that she couldn't have racked up that much from the new house when she hadn't even moved in. She went straight to the developer, whom didn't put up much fight strangely. So, try your luck.

Has anyone submitted anything to the Revenue yet for the S23 Relief?

Also looking at everyone's posts about the lecky bills - I just presume that we're set up with the night saver rate but maybe this is something for everyone to check as well. I havent got my bill yet how long was everyone in before they got there first bill??

We were in 2 months before we got our first ESB bill. My girlfriend went up to the revenue with the forms 2 weeks ago but they said that the statement of cost wasn't good enough,they needed a more detailed one.

To be honest im confused myself - someone told me it needs to be in by 1 July and also 13th July??? I dont understand it myself - best to call the Revenue. But if you are not moved in yet well then there is no panic cause you cant claim relief until you close!

I rang the Revenue today and ive been told mine has been processed - should see it in my salary within the next 2-3 weeks :D

No - you can claim Owner-Occupier relief also. This is the form you need.

I put in for the Section 23 Relief and its all sorted. Tax Relief can also be claimed on the Maintenance fee's but you'll have to wait until the end of the year and get the Management Company to give you a breakdown on the amount spent on Bin Charges for everyone.

This is only available for certain income catagories:


Ie thouse that earn between
€45,000 and €58,000 as a single applicant or have a combined income of €45,000 up to €75,000 as joint applicants.​

If you are in this category APPLY NOW! Its first come first served!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

As some one (qualified with a PhD in medical research), who earns less than 40K - I am once again missing out. But I am at least entilteld to wait the 2/3 years on the "Normal" affordable housing list (- hoping the government will not back out of the system in the meantime).​

But what happens if you earn between 40-45K - There are no options at all????​

Okay for the lucky few who earn the right amount the prices for South Dublin Co Co are:​

Purchases on the open market for Affordable Housing South Dublin County Council​

Location Units Beds Unit Type Price Range​

City Park, City West 43 2 Apartments €230,000 - €275,000
Arena Court, Tallaght 25 2 Apartments €230,200 - €280,000
Priors Gate, Tallaght 24 2 Apartments €248,000 - €290,000

The Paddocks, Adamstown 21 2 & 3 Apts & Duplex’s €200,000 - €280,000​

I received a call from South Dublin Co Co today about Priors Gate apartment 2 bedroom -- i asked him the price and he said between 280k & 300k -- im shocked to see that above was the original price for these!! The house prices are dropping all the time yet this apartment has increased in value by 50k??????
