The Green Homes Grant scheme offers grant funding opportunities for energy improvements to homes which can be accessed by all landlords and all homeowners. Landlords will be able to apply for a voucher of up to £5,000 for works per property and they will have to contribute one-third of the cost of the work, even if their tenants are in receipt of an eligible low income scheme benefit.
The grant can cover loft, roof, and wall insulation which are all primary measures and if one primary measure is installed then secondary measure can be claimed such as draft proofing, double or triple glazing, energy efficient replacement doors, hot water tank insulation, heating controls etc.
Importantly, unlike most other grant schemes, you can apply for any property which would benefit from energy efficient improvements irrespective of whether the tenants are receiving benefits or not.
