New Grants Available For Retrofit
Starting in April 2025, HM Government's Warm Homes: Local Grant (WH:LG) scheme, overseen by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), will offer low-carbon, energy-efficient retrofits to private-rented properties of all fuel types, including both off- and on-gas properties. Under this scheme, landlords can have one rental property fully funded, while subsequent properties will require a 50% contribution, with no cap on the number of properties that may be upgraded.
Plan For Portsmouth Area
Portsmouth City Council will be delivering this scheme locally and across Hampshire and West Sussex. Although the scheme will begin in April, we aim to start accepting applications from January 2025. This is a great opportunity for private landlords to improve energy efficiency affordably across their portfolios.
