Church View, Kilmacow – Affordable Homes

Church View - Affordable Homes

Kilkenny County Council working in collaboration with Michael Murphy Building Services, and supported by the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage, are delighted to launch Affordable Homes at Church View, Kilmacow, Co. Kilkenny.

A total of thirteen 3-bedroom homes will be made available for purchase with support of the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme. These A rated homes are available for purchase by successful applicants at a price lower than its market value. In return, Kilkenny County Council will take a percentage equity interest in the home equal to the difference between the open market value of the home and the price paid by the buyer. So, if a 20% discount off the market value of the home is secured, the Council will take a 20% equity interest in the property.
