    Ep 24: The Vacant Home Grant

    Welcome to another episode of the Crazy House Prices podcast with your host, Ciarán Mulqueen. Today, we're diving deep into the vacant home grant—a hot topic on my Instagram lately. I've chatted with two amazing guests: one waiting on drawdown and another who has already drawn down. If you haven't heard of the vacant home grant, it's an opportunity for owner-occupiers and even landlords to get up to €70,000 when buying a vacant or derelict property. But, as always, there are some bumps in the road! From conflicting council info to needing upfront funds, we cover it all. Grab a notepad, or open your notes app because you’ll want to jot down these tips and experiences. And don't miss the crucial tip I share in the outro about verifying if a home truly qualifies for the grant. Trust me; you won't want to miss it! So, let's jump right in and hear from Eleanor about her year-long wait for funds, followed by Tom, who has successfully drawn down his grant.
