The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne has today published the latest figures relating to the vacant property refurbishment grant which show that, over €77 million has been paid out in relation to the refurbishment of 1,449 homes.
The figures – which outline applications, approvals and payments under the scheme up to the end of December 2024 – clearly show an exponential increase in the rate of grants issued to homeowners following completion of work.
As the scheme continues, more and more completions are coming on stream. In Q4 2024, 541 grants were paid out, a significant increase from Q3 2024, where 336 grants paid out, as well as on Q2 2024 (226 grants paid) and Q1 2024 (146 payments).
Overall, since the launch of the grant in July 2022, there have been 11,327 applications, 7,738 approvals and 1,449 grants issued up to 31 December 2024.
Under the vacant property refurbishment grant, you can receive a payment of up to €70,000 to turn a vacant or derelict house or building into your permanent home or a rental property. The grants are paid upon the completion of the works and the submission of the required paperwork demonstrating the work approved has been delivered.
