Wexford County Council has welcomed the strong level of public interest shown at a recent Affordable Housing Information Event for the An Lisín Mór development in Coolballow, Wexford.
The event, held at Whites Hotel, attracted a significant attendance of prospective homebuyers eager to learn more about the upcoming release of homes under the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme.
Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with representatives from Wexford County Council’s housing and commercial finance teams, who provided guidance on eligibility requirements, affordability calculations and the application process.
An Lisín Mór, a new housing development in Coolballow, will deliver a range of high-quality A-rated two, three and four-bedroom homes, helping to address growing demand for affordable home ownership in County Wexford.
