In the case of property being used for the business from which the applicant earns his main income, the first thirty five thousand euro (€35,000) of such property will not be included to the value of the assets.

In his/her application form, applicant will declare that in case he/she had submitted a request for structural repairs with the Housing Authority between the first date of the publication of the scheme in Government Gazette until the date of the signing of the final deed, he/she will agree to pay for such works.
