    Hi All

    I bought an unfinshed house and spent about 80k finishing the property this year. It had been built in 2008 and was a bank reposession.

    Am i entitled to claim HRI relief on this cost ? The house wasnt lived in but isnt new either - any ideas ?

    If the house was never lived in before I don't think it qualifies under the HRI scheme.

    Even if it did qualify the contract must be registered by the contractor with Revenue before work commences. Revenue will then assign a reference to this contract. You cannot claim relief under the HRI just by submitting the invoices.

    ok thanks. Yeah i believe you are correct, that if it wasnt lived in before then it doesnt qualify
