Final Stages of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant

When works are completed to your property, or when you are ready to proceed to the next stages of your Application before drawdown of the Grant payment, you should e-mail us (vacantpropertygrant@louthcoco.ie) to confirm that works are completed. You should also e-mail a copy of your receipts / invoices to us.

If you are providing an invoice from a contractor who completed works to your property, the invoice(s) should be on their headed paper and include their VAT number.  The quote should be broken down to show the works done and the costs of these works.

If you completed some, or all, works to the property yourself, and/or you are providing many smaller receipts and invoices, these should be allocated to the Categories as per Page 13 of the Application form.  Receipts should be clearly numbered with the Category Number at the top.  These should be recorded in an Excel spreadsheet with the Category number and Excel row number written at the top of the receipt.  If there are numerous receipts under the same Category, these should be numbered so that they are clearly identifiable to us.

When e-mailing these into the VPRG Team, the invoices / receipts should be sent as attachments to the e-mail – they should not embedded in the e-mail itself.  They should be titled with the name of the supplier and the Category number.

Delays to this may lead to delays in us processing your vouched expenses and arranging the Final Site Inspection.

Once the Final Site Inspection has been arranged by us, we will then contact you about further information we need from you to progress your application before Drawdown of the Grant.
