Applications will be open for one week, with a lottery system used to allocate the homes
Applications for new Cost Rental houses at Páirc Na Manach in Newbridge open at 9am tomorrow morning.
In the first phase, interested applicants will be able to register their interest for one of the 11 brand new, A-rated homes, comprised of four two-bed houses, five three-bed houses and two four-bed houses.
Rent for a two-bed house is €1,341 per month, a three-bed house is €1,490 and a four-bed house is €1,639.
These rents represent a 25% discount on current market rents in the area.
In addition to the low cost to run these brand-new homes, new Cost Rental residents will also benefit from secure, life-long tenancies.
The second phase, of 14 apartments and duplexes, will open for applications later in the autumn.
The new Cost Rental homes were delivered by Clúid in partnership with Kildare County Council, and with the support of the Department of Housing, Heritage and Local Government, The Housing Agency and the Housing Finance Agency.
They are part of the wider Páirc na Manach estate, developed by Montane, and are within walking distance of Newbridge town centre.
The scheme benefits from good public transports links to avail of local services, along with access to the M7 for broader connection.
The homes will be listed on Daft and Clúid’s website and social media.
Applications will be open for one week, with a lottery system used to allocate the homes.
Successful applicants will have three days to submit supporting documents, with the first residents expected to move in by autumn.
