First-time buyers looking at Kilkenny homes may be able to consider supports such as Help to Buy, the First Home Scheme, the Local Authority Home Loan and affordable housing schemes offered through Kilkenny County Council. Eligibility can depend on your income, deposit, property type, price, mortgage approval and whether the home is being bought privately or through a local authority scheme. Rules, limits and availability can change, so check the latest details with Revenue, the First Home Scheme, Kilkenny County Council and your lender. Citizens Information or a qualified mortgage professional can also help you understand which options may fit your circumstances.
