Purchase & Renovation Loan
The Local Authority Purchase and Renovation Loan (LAPR) is a mortgage and loan scheme for the purchase and renovation of derelict and non-habitable homes. The property must be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, whether derelict, non-habitable or simply vacant. Details of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant are available HERE.
If you cannot get sufficient funding from commercial lenders for the purchase and renovation of an eligible property, you can apply to the Council for a Local Authority Purchase and Renovation Loan.
Full details of the loan scheme, including eligibility criteria, can be found HERE.
