Testimonials

Emma, Belin Woods

I think it's a no-brainer to apply for Cost Rental. It is always good to have that opportunity. It's life-changing. It fully changes your life to have the ability to have your own home that's not insanely expensive. Cost Rental gives you that opportunity. You have security and certainty. Especially for somebody with a disability, we are happy with it.

Ndey, Kilcarbery

I heard about Cost Rental from a friend. I was renting a private room and it was very difficult to rent a room. Cost wise it's very expensive. A friend told me about Cost Rental so I applied online and that's why I'm here today living in my new apartment. This is one of the best things that has happened to me so far.

Norbert & Maleni, Kilcarbery

To be honest, I'm so happy because today we got the keys to our Cost Rental home. We were viewing the place, and it is huge and amazing. I feel so lucky because we finally found a home.

Daithi, Woodside

There is many reason to be happy here. My children grew up around here. I'm happy that we stayed in this neighbourhood. The price of the apartment is very affordable one of the main reasons for applying is that it's going to be a long term thing. The landlord isn't going to come in, in one year and ask for me to move out so I have security of tenure. It's brand new. I couldn't be happier.

Richie, Water Edge

I have been renting privately for 20 years and felt like it would never end. So, getting my own house is amazing. Coming back to where I grew up is even better. I had been looking online, and then I saw a post on the Cork County website about affordable homes in Carrigaline. Once you had all your work done, it was very easy. It was simple once you had all your statements from the bank and the mortgage company ready. This affordable home scheme is brilliant.

Laura, Woodside View

My name is Laura, I'm currently living at Woodside View, and it's a new development from Tuath and Respond for a Cost Rental Scheme. I was struggling to find accommodation but with the cost rental scheme it's a lot more affordable. It's been a great opportunity to move into an apartment that I can finally afford for me and my two girls.

Debbie, O'Cualann

What it means to me to have a house like this, in the location. My dad is within walking distance, my brother is in walking distance. My job is twenty minutes down the road so that in itself is huge. I have a good quality of life considering that I have my mortgage on my own and I'm working full time. The price I paid for my house didn't stretch me financially. It means that it's affordable.
