State support schemes like ‘rocket-fuel’ for first-time buyers who can shave up to €100,000 off borrowing costs

Savvy first-time buyers are managing to knock up to €100,000 off what they have to borrow for new homes by combining two State support schemes.

Buyers who avail of both the new First Home shared equity scheme, along with the Help-To-Buy tax refund, are managing to buy €320,000 homes with mortgages of just €240,000.

One commentator said this was acting like “rocket-fuel” to propel people on to the property market. But it may also be fuelling continued rising house prices.

The €400m First Home Scheme was launched last July, and provides funding for first-time buyers, people who have been divorced, those who have been declared insolvent to buy a new home.

Hundreds approved for scheme that bridges gap for squeezed middle home buyers

THE Government’s First Home shared equity scheme has generated big interest from first-time buyers.

New figures show that 1,336 buyers have been approved for the scheme since it was launched last July.

It is designed to bridge the gap for those whose income is too low to get them a big enough mortgage to buy their first home.

It is for those who do not qualify for social housing, but have not got a big enough income to get a mortgage from a bank or non-bank lender to buy in the current property market.

House prices fall for third quarter in a row but freefall not expected

A second property price report has found prices are falling. But its authors insist we are not heading for a new property price collapse.

Asking prices fell in the first three months of the year, according to MyHome.ie – it is the third consecutive quarter of values coming down. They were down by 0.3pc in the first quarter, but are up 3.2pc on the year.

Homes are now being sold for just 1pc over asking price compared with 6pc this time last year.

Last week, a Daft.ie report had similar findings of falling asking prices for properties.

MyHome.ie said Dublin house prices had fallen for four consecutive months and were now 2pc below the peak levels they hit in September last year.
