DNG New Homes is delighted to present Priory Fields, a new development of A-rated homes in Skerries, delivered in partnership with Lydon, the Land Development Agency and Fingal County Council.
A number of additional units have come available which can now be offered through the Starter Homes Purchase Scheme (formerly the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme).
The application portal for Priory Fields Additional Units, Skerries will open on the 13th August at 12:00p.m. and close when it is deemed that a sufficient number of applications have been received.
Applications can be made at www.fingal.ie/priory-fields-additional-units
Applications will be assessed on a first come, first served basis, in order of the time and date they are submitted.
Priory Fields is an exceptional collection of thoughtfully designed, A-rated homes set within the historic and picturesque seaside town of Skerries. Carefully planned to maximise natural light and comfort, each home offers a refined balance of contemporary living and coastal charm, creating a place where quality design and everyday living come together.
Ideally located just off Skerries Road, the development is within easy walking distance of the town centre, the beach and the train station, offering a modern, energy-efficient home in a highly connected coastal setting. Residents will also enjoy close access to sports clubs, cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique shops, with convenient neighbourhood shopping available on nearby Shenick Road.
The scheme is available to eligible applicants seeking to purchase a newly built home but require additional funding to bridge the gap between their mortgage and deposit and the cost of the home.
In return, Fingal County Council will take a percentage equity stake in the Starter Home. The Council’s equity stake will be equal to the discount of the purchase price from the full market value of the home.
Set in one of Dublin’s most desirable seaside towns, Priory Fields combines stunning beaches, scenic walks, rich heritage and a vibrant community.
Applications for these new homes at Priory Fields must be made through the online portal which opened on the Fingal County Council website from 13th August at 12:00p.m. and close when it is deemed that a sufficient number of applications have been received.

Note: Under the terms of the Starter Home Purchase Scheme, the upfront cost is reduced for the buyer while Fingal County Council will retain an equity stake WHICH IS REPAYABLE ON THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY OR IN 40 YEARS TIME.

Equity shares are calculated on an individual basis and are linked to an applicant's income, their savings and their mortgage capacity.
