Grants

Improving or restoring your home in Dublin has never been more rewarding, or more supported. Through a range of national and local authority schemes, homeowners can now access substantial grants to help fund energy upgrades, refurbish vacant properties, make accessibility improvements, or bring disused buildings back into use. At BAYT, we help clients unlock these opportunities. As a full-service design and build company, we combine architectural expertise with practical construction management, ensuring your renovation, retrofit, or adaptation project meets all eligibility and compliance requirements for available grants. Whether you’re upgrading your home’s efficiency, restoring a long-vacant property, or adapting for accessibility, there’s a tailored funding route designed to help you achieve it. 1. SEAI Home Energy Grants The SEAI offers generous funding for homeowners improving energy performance, including insulation, heat pumps, and solar panels. Ideal for those modernising their home or planning a deep retrofit. 2. Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant Receive up to €70,000 to transform an empty or derelict house into a beautiful, habitable home. This grant is perfect for buyers or owners looking to restore older Dublin properties. 3. Housing Adaptation Grant For people with disabilities or older homeowners, this grant funds essential home modifications such as accessible bathrooms, ramps, or ground-floor extensions — helping residents live comfortably and safely. 4. Repair & Leasing / Buy & Renew Schemes Designed to bring vacant homes back into use, these programmes provide up to €80,000 in interest-free funding for essential repairs, in return for leasing or selling the property to the local authority.
