Assistance to landlords is limited to three specific areas that support the objectives set within the Private Sector Housing Strategy.
These are:

• Fire precautions in houses in multiple occupation
• Affordable warmth initiatives e.g. insulation, improved heating etc.
• Works to bring empty homes back into use with nomination rights offered to the council

On completion, the dwelling must be provided with cavity wall insulation (where applicable), 200mm roof insulation (where practicable), an effective heating system and be fit for human habitation.

Grants for 50% of the cost of the works up to specified maximums are available.

Further details are available in our Home Improvement Policy [PDF] (513k).
