Irish First-Time Buyer Schemes
The Irish government offers two main schemes to help first-time buyers get on the property ladder: the Help to Buy (HTB) and the First Home Scheme (FHS).
Help to Buy scheme (HTB)
The Help to Buy scheme offers a helping hand to first-time buyers looking to purchase a brand new home in Ireland. This government incentive provides a tax rebate of up to 5% of the purchase price, making the dream of homeownership a little more affordable.
First Home Scheme (FHS)
Designed for first-time buyers or those returning to the market after a five-year absence, the First Home Scheme provides financial support for purchasing a new build home or self-build project. Through a shared equity model, the government contributes up to 30% of the purchase price (20% if combined with HTB), reducing the upfront cost for eligible buyers.
