The figures – which outline applications, approvals and payments under the scheme up to the end of December 2024 – show an exponential increase in the rate of grants issued to homeowners following completion of work.
Overall, since the launch of the grant in July 2022, in Mayo there have been 673 applications, 452 approvals and 83 grants issued up to 31 December 2024. As the scheme continues, more and more completions are coming on stream.
Under the vacant property refurbishment grant, you can receive a payment of up to €70,000 to turn a vacant or derelict house or building into your permanent home or a rental property. The grants are paid upon the completion of the works and the submission of the required paperwork demonstrating the work approved has been delivered.
