Housing Acquisitions - Expressions of Interest
Mayo County Council, as part of its provision of social housing, can purchase suitable properties when offered for sale.
Mayo County Council in purchasing properties are subject to Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage guidelines which cover restrictions on housing acquisitions insofar as to avoid undue impact on the private housing market, including avoiding competition with first time buyers or acquisitions by other private individuals or families.
Housing Acquisitions should represent value for money and should be assessed against cost guidelines.
Mayo County Council have introduced an Expression of Interest form (link below) where property owners can upload basic detail on their property if they wish to have this property considered for purchase by Mayo County Council.
Owners submitting a house acquisition expression of interest form will be advised when a decision has been made by Mayo County Council. Lodging an expression does not guarantee a purchase by the Local Authority.
