The next round of Warm Homes:Local Grant due in April does now allow a landlord to have 100% funding for energy efficiency measures for 1 property. The previous round (HUG2) required a 33% contribution. I am working on the scheme...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 06/06/2023 - 12:34The requirement for MEES compliance (Band E or above, or a legitimate exemption) applies to EPCs lodged for a lawful purpose, so dropping below an E with a voluntary...

It is a valid point. Two things. The assessor could produce a draft before lodging to check. Also MEES cannot apply to a voluntary EPC, which this would be. MEES only applies to an EPC produced for a lawful purpose....

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 06/05/2023 - 08:43The scheme I helped set up requires compliance with Building Regulations Part L, Doc F (ventilation). And there’s a requirement that installers are certificated by a TrustMark scheme provider...

Is this the Connected for Warmth scheme through AgilityEco? If so I can put you in touch with the project manager. I was involved in setting it up but have since retired. It is legitimate but it doesn’t mean that...

Hi Maurice The cost cap of £3,500 is the amount you must spend up to to improve the rating. So if you cannot increase the rating to Band E by spending no more than £3,500 you don't have to. So...
