Green Homes Grant (continued information)
How much can you get?
Vouchers will cover two-thirds of the cost of eligible improvements, up to a maximum government contribution of £5,000.
If you, or someone in your household, receive certain benefits you may be eligible for a voucher covering 100% of the cost of the improvements. The maximum value of the voucher is £10,000. Check if you’re eligible for the low income support scheme.
Landlords are not eligible for low income support.
Eligibility
You may be eligible if you live in England and:
- You own your own home (including long-leaseholders and shared ownership)
- You own your own park home on a residential site (including Gypsy and Traveller sites)
- You’re a residential landlord in the private or social rented sector (including local authorities and housing associations)
- You cannot get the Green Homes Grant for newly built homes which have not been previously occupied.
What the voucher can be used for
We recommend that you seek advice on how best to improve the energy efficiency and heating in your home.
You can use the Simple Energy Advice (SEA) website to check what energy efficiency or low carbon heating improvements may be best suited to your home.
You can also seek advice from your property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) or from a retrofit assessor. You cannot claim for the cost of any advice as part of your grant.
