HOMEOWNERS over 55 have been called by Limerick City and County Council to consider rightsizing to a small home in Patrickswell.
The Council launched a new rightsizing scheme in An Tobar, Patrickswell, with applications open for people over 55 who own their own home to downsize to a two-bed dwelling, selling their home on the private market in return for a new lifelong tenancy.
Successful applicants pay a 25 per cent financial contribution to the Council.
The two-bed, two-storey homes have an area of 90 square metres with a private back garden. Pets are allowed.
The new homes, currently under construction, are expected to be available at the end of October.
Applications are open until 5pm on October 10 with further information on [email protected].
