Revenue has updated the Help to Buy – Summary Guide for Applicants to reflect changes to the Help-to-Buy (HTB) scheme introduced in Budget 2024 to enhance its compatibility with the Local Authority Affordable Purchase (LAAP) scheme.
The changes take effect from 11 October 2023 and apply to HTB applicants availing of the LAAP scheme, who have signed a purchase contract on or after 11 October 2023. The updated guide includes the addition of new screenshots to demonstrate the steps involved in making a HTB claim.
