Government-backed home improvements

You could get help to make your rented home warmer.

Government-backed schemes can help improve privately rented homes that are expensive to heat or have poor energy efficiency. Depending on your household and the property, funding may be available towards improvements to your home.

What could be improved?

  • Wall insulation
  • Loft insulation
  • Underfloor insulation
  • Heat pumps
  • Smart heating controls
  • Solar panels

Could your household qualify?

Eligibility can depend on your household income, whether someone in your household receives certain benefits, where you live and the energy efficiency of the property.

Household income of £36,000 or less? That's one of the main eligibility routes. Households with a higher income may still qualify through certain benefits or eligible postcode areas.

Common questions

Straight answers about home improvements.

Renting privately? Here are a few things you might want to know before starting your enquiry.

Private tenants Can I apply if I rent privately?

Yes. This service is specifically for private tenants. You can start the enquiry yourself and we'll ask a few questions about your household and the property. Your landlord will need to be involved before any improvements can go ahead.

Landlord consent Does my landlord need to agree?

Your landlord will need to be involved before work can be carried out on the property. You don't need to arrange everything with them before starting your enquiry though. We'll ask for your landlord or letting agent's details when you continue so the next steps can be worked out.

Eligibility Do I need to receive benefits?

Not necessarily. There can be different routes to support depending on things such as your household income, benefits, where you live and the energy efficiency of the property. If you're not sure, complete the quick check and tell us what you know.

Improvements What improvements could be available?

Depending on the property and the support available, improvements could include insulation, heating upgrades, smart heating controls, heat pumps or solar panels. What is appropriate for your home will depend on the property and any further assessment that is required.

Your result Does passing the check guarantee I'll get improvements?

No. The checker is an initial indication only. Any support will depend on your household, the property, your location, available funding and the requirements of the relevant scheme or provider. Where there may be a suitable route, the next step is to establish what support may actually be available for your home.
