I presume in this instance you would have paid the 10% deposit directly to the builder at the time of contract signing, whereas going forward the buyer will pay 5% to the builder and Revenue will pay the remaining 5% directly.

I did get the info telling me how much my maximum I could get was. Think that's all they are telling you at this stage. Rest will come after they get info from the builder and the morgage provider.

Pedro32561 wrote: » There are two stages to the process: 1. Application - which tells you the amount you are eligible for. You can give this information to your mortgage provider when applying, so they know you are eligible for the grant. 2. Claim - when you have signed contracts. This is when you upload the detailed information and the grant is processed and paid to the builder.

She will then be notified that she has been asked to join a group and given a yes/no option and that is that. Then goes to review and your sit around and wait for however long this takes. Presumably they will get back to you with a request for further information (if necessary) eventually and then process it.

Now I am going alone so does this mean that a new contract will need to be drawn up and signed or does the original contact plus the June date still apply?

cronos wrote: » "Did you buy a home or draw down the 1st tranche of a qualifying loan between 19th July and 31st December 2016?" For the above, if you signed a contract for a purchase in early august, but the build hasn't completed and you haven't closed on the purchase. Does this count as between July and December?
