Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Hey not sure if this is old news or not but I rang Fingal today to ask how the approval process was going and the lady I spoke to said they were still dealing with 2006 applications. I sent my application in, in February 2007 and she said it would be another few months before they get to it and then once approved it would be at least 12 months on the waiting list.
I don't think i'll last another year at home!!!

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Anybody know how many people are on the list now.. and if there's anything coming up in the future? I need three bedrooms so I think I'll be still waiting in another five years.. sigh.
Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
I went to view the 2 bedrooms in St. Samson, Balgriffin yesterday and I'm 4th on that list. I'm told I have to wait till the first 3 people ahead of me choose which properties they wanted before I can choose from what is left. Anyway, some where okay in terms of layout but most of the rooms where quite small. Most of the kitchens where quite tiny (in my personal opinion). I don't think I'm going to accept it mainly because I have a son whom is about to start junior infant in St. Teresa, Balbriggan this September. Any parent with a child of that age knows it's war to get your child accepted in any school whatsoever. Second reason is that there is no train station closeby to go to work ( I like my 10 minutes of extra snooze
) and thirdly, no garden for my son to ride his bike. Goodluck to everyone that had a viewing yesterday.
The ladies told me that letters should be going out next month for viewings at Martello in Balbriggan next week for 2 & 3 bedroom houses. Not sure if they were telling me that to console me or if it is the actual honest truth. Anyway, I drove by there on my way home and there are roughly 20-25 houses vacant, so fingers strongly crossed.

I applied in October 2006, interview within a couple of weeks but didn't get approved until February 2007. At the interview I was told there was about 700 people on the general list and less on local ones. She also said that they had the supply to meet that demand in the coming year. At the time I thought that was quite positive....

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
11 properties in all. All 2 bedroom apartments. Roughly 20 to 30 people viewing (took a quick glance at their clipboard).
The letter for the balbriggan ones should, accordingly to fingal, be arriving next week and viewings for next month.
I'm currently on the general list but trying to get on the local one. I lived in Skerries slightly over 2 years and Balbriggan for 3. I called Fingal and they told me to show proof like ie letter from the landlord or bank statement showing rent payment. I'll be sending that to them soon and hopefully I'll make it on the exclusive local list.

.Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Things seem to be at a standstill lately. I wish something would just happen cause I'm sick of being in limbo. I'd have chewed their arm off (not kidding) for St Samsons but alas! two bedroom apts only, grr.. (hmm.. maybe I could buy two?!)

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
I drove up to see Martello.. seems pretty nice, houses are reasonable size with nice size back garden (from what I could see) area seems nice (very developed, but nice) also close to a shopping area, dunnes, pharmacy, coffee shop.
The only drawback for me though is I really dont know Balbriggan at all... how near would the train/bus station be to Martello and what are the services like?If there's anyone here who lives in Balbriggan and could give some pros and cons for area thatd be great.
