Croí Cónaithe is a grant of up to a maximum of €30,000, available for the refurbishment of vacant properties for occupation as a principal private residence, including the conversion of a property which has not been used as residential heretofore. This will be subject to upper limits having regard to a reasonable cost assessment by the local authority. The grant is inclusive of the VAT cost of the works.
Where the refurbishment costs are expected to exceed the standard grant of up to €30,000, a maximum top-up grant amount of up to €20,000 will be available where the property is confirmed to be derelict, bringing the total grant available for the derelict property up to a maximum of €50,000.
