Cluain Glasan – Affordable Homes
Cluain Glasan
Affordable Homes Launch
Kilkenny County Council, in partnership with Glenveagh and the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage, is delighted to launch a Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme at Cluain Glasan, Ayrfield, Kilkenny City.
Through the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme, a total of 10 three-bedroom homes will be made available for purchase for 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 you. All homes are energy efficient with a minimum A-rating on the BER scale with high standards of insulation and air tightness.
