Buy and Renew Scheme

The Buy and Renew Scheme supports local authorities in purchasing and renewing housing units in need of repair and making them available for social housing use. It aims to help tackle the problem of dereliction and to improve an area’s appearance. It is a matter for Louth County Council to determine a property’s suitability for social housing.

As a complementary initiative to the Repair and Leasing Scheme, it provides the option for suitable properties to be purchased rather than leased, if that is the property owner’s preference.
