Properties from three new developments are currently on the market, or are or being released in the coming weeks, in Co Wicklow.

At the more affordable end of the spectrum, joint agents Hooke & MacDonald and Forkin Property are set to release 28 two- and three-bedroom houses at Tinakilly Park, in Rathnew, on the weekend of May 25th and 26th. In the scheme, two-bedroom midterrace units extending to 85sq m (915sq ft) are priced from €385,000, and three-bed midterrace and end-of-terrace units, ranging from 96sq m to 98sq m (1,033sq ft -1,055sq ft), are priced from €430,000.

Developed by D/Res, Tinakilly Park will consist of 300 homes in total, to include two-, three- and four-bed houses as well as two-bed apartments and three-bed duplexes. The scheme, located at the foothills of the Wicklow mountains, is a five-minute drive from the M/N11 and the train station at Wicklow town, from where there are daily services to Dublin city centre.

The interiors of the A2-rated homes, designed by Scott Tallon Walker, are designed in neutral earthy tones to complement the nature that surrounds it – a natural resource that marketing for the scheme highlights.

First-time buyers looking to buy at the development have the option to apply for the Help to Buy scheme to claim 10 per cent of the purchase value of a home. They could also apply to the First Home shared-equity scheme, in which the Government and participating banks pay up to 30 per cent of the cost of the home (20 per cent if also claiming Help to Buy) to fill the gap between a first-time buyer’s mortgage and the cost of their home. For Co Wicklow, the price ceiling for eligible properties is €475,000.
