We are delighted to confirm recent announcements, unlocking £87m worth of funding to make homes in the Northwest warmer, cheaper to run, and kinder to the environment.
Warm Homes: Local Grant offers homeowners and private tenants the opportunity to adopt low-carbon heating, while improving the fabric of the property, to make it better able to retain heat. Properties need to have an EPC rating of D-G to be eligible. Residents either need to be on a low income (i.e. total gross household income below £36,000) or meet “proxies” of fuel poverty, such as living in an area of deprivation. The scheme provider can spend up to £15,000 per property, decarbonising the heating system (e.g. replacing a gas boiler with an air source heat pump) and a separate £15,000 on additional works, such as insulation, or even possibly solar panels.
Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund is providing funding to Local Authorities and Social Landlords, to improve their housing stock for their tenants.
Once these schemes are up and running, this provides us with additional support we can help our clients to access.
