The Tenant Home Purchase Product (THP) is designed to help eligible tenants who have received a valid Notice of Termination (NoT) from their landlord, as the landlord is putting the property on the market and are looking to purchase the home they are currently renting.
- Use our eligibility calculator to see the minimum and maximum support you could potentially qualify for through the Scheme.
- You can then register and submit your application online through the First Home Scheme website (www.firsthomescheme.ie).
- To submit an application online for the THP Product, documentation required will include a copy of your Mortgage Approval in Principle (AIP) and a copy of your Notice of Termination. All other eligibility criteria that apply under the FHS continue to apply under the THP Product.
A valid Notice of Termination is a written notice served by a landlord on their tenant and meeting all of the requirements of a valid Notice of Termination as outlined by the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
We have created an eligibility calculator on our website which will assist you in determining whether you are eligible for the THP, and it can advise you of the maximum funding that may be available to you from the FHS in the form of an equity share.
No. The Help to Buy Scheme is only available for newly built and self-built homes. You may, however, be eligible for up to 30% of the property purchase price (the maximum equity share available) under the FHS.
