Any grants for older properties

Sep 29, 2009 1 Replies

Hi, I'm aware there are grants available for energy saving house impovememts from local councils, but what about any grants for the repair and maintenance of older properties. I guess there is money for listed buildings, but how about buildings in conservation areas? Any ideas? Thanks!


IIRC, in theory, there are still repair/improvment grants, but most councils allocate little if any money for these. So the trick is to get in early in the financial year. Check with your own council how much they have available for this.

However, be aware that if you apply for one you must do everything they say is needed. Regardless of what you think. So you might end up spending money on things you don't really need to get a smaller amount of money back, as it were.
