Call for Expression of Interest for the delivery of Social and Affordable Housing via Advance Purchase Agreements
Home builders and housing developers in County Galway are being asked to consider offering unbuilt developments with planning permission, to local authorities under an advance purchase turnkey arrangement. Local authorities are seeking to enter into advance purchase arrangements to secure turnkey homes in areas where the need for both social and affordable housing, is most acute.
This advance purchase opportunity has been put in place to provide for accelerated delivery of housing generally, and primarily, to provide both social and affordable homes for eligible applicants nominated by the local authority in areas where a significant need for both social and affordable housing has been identified.
It is anticipated that, depending on circumstances and proposals, local authorities will enter into an advance purchase agreement for an approved number of homes, with payment on completion. The advance purchase agreement for affordable homes also provides for the direct sale of homes by the developer to an eligible purchaser nominated by the local authority.
Joint venture arrangements that include an Approved Housing Body (AHB) will also be considered.
Under the “Housing for All” Plan, significant funding streams are available to Galway County Council to increase the number of new-build local authority homes for social and affordable housing.
