Information session on affordable homes in Mayo set for this week

An important information session on affordable homes in Mayo will take place this Thursday, offering prospective homeowners crucial details on upcoming housing opportunities.

The session, hosted at Westport Credit Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., aims to assist those interested in acquiring affordable housing, specifically focusing on five new units available on Golf Course Road in Westport.

While these five homes are the immediate focus, Cllr Peter Flynn is urging residents from across the county to participate, stating that these homes represent just a starting point.

Demonstrating widespread demand is essential to secure further government support and future housing projects in Mayo.

The available properties are three-bedroom houses priced between €232,000 and €259,000. Prospective buyers will need to have individual or combined incomes ranging from €65,000 to €75,000 to qualify.

For those unable to attend the session, further information can be obtained by emailing affordablehousing@mayococo.ie, where members of the Housing Section will provide assistance.

Cllr Flynn also reminds applicants that while the official application process opens in January, now is the time to prepare necessary documentation, particularly regarding mortgage approvals.
