Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
yes me too...glad I got sorted..one thing I will say, when I went to view balbriggan I was waaaay down the list, still put my name down for cancellation and got it.
you'd be surprised how many people reserve a property but then get cold feet or their earnings/circumstances change etc..
In the same letter I was offered a viewing in kinsealy, but then got a call later in the week to say not to bother coming, that i too far down the list!! still got the balbriggan one tho so its hard to know!!
One thing is tho, save save save as long as you can ..you will get there...

Hi mlouisa,
I'm on the local list a couple of months now. got the letter to view houses in lusk they said they'd let me know by the end of the week if i get a viewing. Would really really love lusk, even a ground floor apartment.

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
are you long approved and are you on local list? just trying to figure out where i am. I've heard people getting the first letter to view properties and gettin them and others getting letters but no viewing. can't work it out.... any way they seem to constantly send out letters so a least they've started coming my way.

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Im approved since December and Im on local list. I have had one letter apart from Lusk which was in February, I didnt ring to view that as I wasnt really interested so this is my first proper experience of it. It is impossible to figure out how it works.

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Dont say that you'll get my hopes up that they'll actually ring me!!
I'm afraid my gut instinct is telling me I dont have a hope..
I would probably prefer a house to an apartment but when I drove up to see Lusk Village I was pleasantly surprised by apartments they seem really nice. Id take either deffo! How about yourself?

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
Poor you that was a hard thing to go through.. I'm sure things will come right for you when theyre supposed to.
If you had a house how are you a first time buyer tho?
I really want to get somewhere but Im going to hold on for something that really would suit me...Lusk would be perfect! Why o why wont they ring?!

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
NO not poor me i'm much better off! I called them before i applied and explained my situation. They told me the scheme is for people who can't afford to buy a home and since I no longer owned a house and sold it cause i had to and not by choice that they consider my aplication. Also works for people who are divorced. Had to prove everything though, solicitors letters ect.

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal

Re: Affordable Housing with Fingal
I don't know.. probably stupid but kind of afraid you could get their back up if you start hassling them and theyre the ones with all the power!But maybe Im being stupid.
Thinking of it logically if yesterday was closing time at 4..they prob only started compiling list for viewings today..so maybe theyll be ringing tomorrow?
I dont know what do you think?
