Is there a way to know which houses in a development are Part V?

I am looking at buying in a new development in Dublin and rightly or wrongly would like to ensure that the houses either side of me aren’t part V. There will be one part V house in the development. I don’t think the agent is allowed to disclose this info.

Is there any way to check this before purchase (or figure it out)? If not, is this information that will be published at a later date (e.g. by the council) such that a potential future purchaser of a house in the development would be able to know which one is part V, thus potentially impacting the sell on value of the houses either side.

I do appreciate that the assumption that a part V neighbour would be any worse than a private could be flawed in many ways but would like to know in any case, particularly if it is something a future buyer could know.

No official way. You have to get the info from one of the site workers.

Or, have a look and see if there’s one house with cheaper looking doors internally. Plain tiles compared to the others. This is not always a give away but I have seen many estates in Dublin where the one part v was kitted out to a cheaper standard.

Unfortunately there's no real way to know until you live next to them. Planning permission outlines Part V housing allocations but this is just a guideline from what I understand, my neighbors house wasn't marked on the Part V plan of my estate otherwise I would have picked a different house...

I'd argue the site workers might not know either, the site foreman told me there was no social housing on my road.
