How long does a property need to be vacant to qualify?

The property must be vacant for at least 2 years at the time of application. Evidence such as utility bills, vacancy letters, or sworn declarations may be required.

Do I need to live in the property after renovation?

Yes. The property must be used as either your principal private residence or a long-term rental property. Short-term lets and holiday homes are not eligible.

Can I start renovation works before grant approval?

No. Any works carried out before written approval from Limerick City & County Council are not claimable, even if they are necessary works.

What happens if renovation costs go over the approved grant amount?

You may proceed with the works, but the grant is capped at the approved amount. Any additional costs must be paid by the homeowner.

Are kitchens covered under the Limerick Vacant Property Grant?

Yes, kitchens can be covered where replacement is justified. If the existing kitchen is not functional or suitable for occupation, replacement costs may be approved with proper justification.

Can I use one main contractor for the entire renovation?

Yes. Homeowners may appoint one main contractor to manage the full renovation and all sub-trades. This is acceptable and often results in simpler paperwork and a smoother grant claim process.

Do I need planning permission to qualify for the grant?

The grant does not remove normal planning requirements. If planning permission is required for certain works, it must be obtained separately.

How long does it take to receive grant payment?

After final inspection and submission of all required documents, payment typically issues within 4 to 8 weeks, provided everything is in order.

Thanks so much to Eamon for the beautiful bespoke Venetian plaster wall in our bathroom. It turned out exactly how I'd hoped – subtle, elegant, and full of character. Really appreciated you taking the time to show the sample beforehand and for being so reliable throughout. Delighted with the result.
