Warm Homes Local Grant guides
Shorter guides on specific Warm Homes: Local Grant questions. Each one shows its sources and the date they were checked.
The guides go deeper on questions the main pages only touch on. Two use the government's delivery figures and scheme history (the statistics guide and the ECO4 guide); three deal with particular kinds of home or household (park homes, terraces and flats, private tenants); and one is for anyone who has been told no or is waiting in a council queue. Every guide lists the official sources it used and the date they were read, because scheme details such as the cost caps have changed during the life of the grant.
New to the scheme? Read who qualifies, what it covers and how to apply first, then come back here for the detail. Tenants should start with the landlord guide; anyone living in a park home should read that guide before applying, because the property test works differently. Landlords weighing up a second or third property will find the funding split on the landlords page.
