Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant: use it as one part of the project numbers
The grant can materially change a renovation feasibility calculation, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed amount.
Current planning points
The Irish Government's current VPRG information states that the standard grant can be up to €50,000, with a potential derelict top-up of up to €20,000, subject to the scheme's conditions.
Check the current official VPRG rules on gov.ie
Always check the current official rules and your local authority's requirements before relying on a grant assumption.
Don't stop at grant eligibility
A property can be eligible for a grant and still be a poor renovation project. The purchase price, total works, contingency, professional costs, finance and finished value need to be considered together.
