View answerUnder the Government's Mortgage to Rent scheme for borrowers of commercial private lending institutions, a borrower who enters the scheme may buy back the property at market value after a period of 5 years. The Housing Agency administers the scheme on behalf of my Department. Further information on the scheme is available on the Housing Agency website: https://www.housingagency.ie/getattachment/Housing-Information/Mortgage-to-Rent-Scheme/A-Guide-to-the-Mortgage-to-Rent-Scheme-August-2015.pdf.
