Mortgage to Rent in the News
How Government and national press have covered the scheme in recent years, and what it looks like from where we sit.
"The mortgage to rent scheme offers a practical solution and gives individuals and families peace of mind."— Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien

It's the reason our own process is built around a single Tenant Liaison Officer guiding each family from first contact through to completion — 65% of our cases now close within 12 months.
RTÉ News, John Kilraine — 24 January 2022 →"The report says it should be widely promoted in order to help meet the agreed targets under Housing for All."
