To qualify for funding, your tenant will need to either claim one of the listed means-tested benefits or have a household income of £36,000 or less. The property needs to be off the gas network and have an EPC rating of D or E. We can still install upgrades on your property if it has an EPC rating of F or G, but you, the landlord, will be responsible for paying for them entirely.
In some areas, household income will not be considered as part of the qualification, so please ask your tenant to apply, and our online eligibility checker will confirm if they're eligible for funding.
Find out your property's EPC rating to see if it will qualify.
If your tenant and property qualify for funding, we'll perform a retrofit assessment of the property to make sure we can install any eligible upgrades. As the landlord, you'll be required to pay a £500 deposit before the assessment. If we find your property isn't suitable for improvements, we'll return your deposit, but if you or your tenant cancel after a successful assessment, the deposit will not be refundable.
