In line with Part 2 of the Affordable Housing Act 2021 the administration of affordable purchase housing schemes is a matter for each local authority who will have the specific information sought relating to sale of affordable purchase homes in their functional area.
Affordable Housing statistical reports are based on the delivery of affordable homes which have been completed and publicly advertised to eligible affordable housing applicants. Comprehensive programme-level statistics are published by my Department on affordable housing delivery activity by local authorities and delivery partners in each local authority area. As is the case with house sales generally, the time between the completion and delivery of an affordable home and the close of sale will vary from property to property.
Data for the years 2022 and 2023 and quarters 1, 2 and 3 of 2024 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/?#affordable-housing-delivery
This published data will be updated to include the final quarter of 2024 once returns from local authorities have been received and verified in the usual way.
