Grants Available for Landlords

Originally written by Jennifer Lowe, updated by the editorial team on 18th June 2026

Grants Available for Landlords

Landlords in the UK may be able to access grants and loans to help with property improvements, though availability varies considerably depending on where the property is located. Some local authorities actively support landlords with funding, while others take the view that property owners should fund improvements themselves from rental income or built-up equity.

The reasoning behind councils that do offer support goes beyond simply helping landlords. Improved properties mean better living conditions for tenants, which can lead to fewer housing standards complaints, reduced carbon emissions and better health outcomes for residents.

What Funding Might Be Available

The main areas where landlords can sometimes access grants include energy efficiency improvements, converting properties into houses in multiple occupation, and bringing empty homes back into use for tenants.

Each local authority sets its own rules for these schemes. Some will means-test landlords before approving any funding. Others focus specifically on properties with long-term tenants already in place, or target particular housing types or areas.

Eligibility criteria can be strict and the application process is often detailed. You will usually need to provide evidence about the property, your ownership status, current tenants, and the planned works. Typical documentation includes proof of property ownership, copies of tenancy agreements, and details of any existing mortgages. Many councils require landlords to keep the property available to rent at affordable rates for a set period after receiving a grant.

Contact your local council's housing department directly or visit their website to explore available schemes. Scheme availability fluctuates, and funding often depletes before year's end.

Energy Efficiency Grants

Making rental properties more energy efficient has become a priority in recent years. Landlords in England and Wales must ensure their properties meet a minimum Energy Performance Certificate rating of E under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). This requirement applies to both new and existing tenancies. The government has indicated plans to raise the minimum to a C rating by 2025 for new tenancies and by 2028 for all tenancies, so addressing energy efficiency now may help avoid larger costs later.

Improving a property's energy rating can involve significant costs. Common upgrades include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, draught-proofing, efficient heating systems, smart thermostats and solar panels. These measures can reduce energy bills for tenants and make properties easier to let.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme provides funding for energy efficiency improvements through energy suppliers, particularly for properties with tenants on qualifying benefits. Local authority programmes may also offer support. Check GOV.UK for current national programmes and your local council for any regional initiatives.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

Empty Property Grants

Many councils run schemes specifically aimed at bringing empty homes back into use. If you own a property that has been vacant for a certain period, you may be able to apply for a grant or interest free loan to cover renovation costs. Programmes such as the Empty Homes Programme have operated in the past, though availability changes over time. Verify current offerings with your local authority.

These schemes typically require the landlord to let the property to tenants nominated by the council, or to rent at below market rates for an agreed period. The council may also require the work to meet certain standards and be completed within a set timeframe.

This type of funding benefits councils by increasing the supply of available housing without the cost of building new homes. For landlords, it can make otherwise unviable renovation projects financially workable.

How to Apply

Start by contacting your local authority's housing department. They can tell you which schemes are currently running and whether your property or circumstances might qualify.

Gather documentation before applying, including proof of ownership, details of any existing tenancies, tenancy agreements, and information about the work you want to carry out. Most councils will require quotes from contractors before approving any funding.

Processing times vary, and some schemes are competitive. Funding may go to applications that best meet the council's priorities, such as properties in areas of high housing need or those housing vulnerable tenants, rather than being awarded on a first come basis.

For national schemes, GOV.UK provides details of any current programmes and how to apply. The National Residential Landlords Association also publishes guidance on funding options for landlords looking to improve their properties.

@Jerry For an HMO in Stevenage, your best bet is the ECO4 scheme for insulation, which your energy supplier can refer you to, plus the Great British Insulation Scheme if the property is in council tax bands A to D. Fire safety and electrical upgrades rarely attract direct grants, but it's worth ringing Hertfordshire County Council and Stevenage Borough Council to ask about landlord improvement loans. Some councils also offer interest free loans tied to bringing HMOs up to licensing standards, so check their private sector housing team.

Jerry 23/05/2024 at 8:09 am

Hi

I have a Nice house that did have 5 bedrooms.
I built a loft conversion a few years ago creating a 3rd floor.
With things changing I started renting out a few rooms but when I looked at a renting out a few more my local council said I must have Fire Doors fitted.
Fire Doors are very expensive and even more expensive to get them professionally fitted with self closing fittings, hinges and more.
To get them done ASAP I need financial help in some form.
Is this available?

felangees 06/04/2021 at 10:31 am

hi, my house is about 120 years old and it has been in my family since it was built. i have lived in the house for about 8 years. the problem i have is that the house is in a bad state of repair. it needs new roof windows doors walls plastering wobbly floors . on heating other than an old gas fire in the kitchen and a woodburner in the sitting room. the ceiling in the kitchen is just plasterboard after a flood from the home made bathroom upstairs{ built many years ago.} the repairs on the house have been done by local cowboys as far as i can gather. the worst part is the deeds were lost and i cannot even prove ownership. i am on universal credit and my partner works part time. we could never afford the repairs on this house. is the any help that you are aware of?

Dor 08/03/2021 at 9:39 pm

I purchased a property that I would like to make into supported living that is close to my heart it will enable to give work to the care staff and re home 3 vulnerable adults. I have been told there are certain measures that need to be in place for example fire doors, emergency lighting, an extra bathroom etc I was wondering if there was any funding/ grant available for this. I have spent a lot of money on the property to get it into the condition it is today but did not realise it would not meet the criteria and would need more adaptions to be able to have vulnerable adults back into the community. I would be great full for any help. Thank you

It’s been empty for over a year now. Can we borrow money, using the house as equity to carry out the work?

Gigi58 15/11/2020 at 11:53 am

Are any grants available for commercial properties? I have somewhere in mind but it’s been empty for years and the owner is 70, disabled and can’t afford to bring it up to standard. I would take it on as a tenancy if the building could be made fit for purpose, and the local community would be delighted to see it in use again.

Billy 04/10/2020 at 11:43 am

Gary 17/05/2019 at 3:29 pm

We own and live in a property that people finally finished building in 1623 and is Grade 1 Listed … We are looking for a grant that would help us meet the cost of repairing the crumbling external walls and to repair the damage caused by repairs carried out by the previous owner(s) who used concrete instead of lime mortar and off the shelf emulsion instead of a lime based one.

Tracy 27/01/2019 at 4:02 pm

I am going through a rather difficult separation and my ex has left us living in a house that is in a state of disrepair. He's using the condition of the house a tool to make me give in to his settlement. Unfortunately I cannot afford to repair or his offer. I can however afford to buy him out for a lesser settlement get a mortgage and do the repairs as part of the mortgage. In the meantime myself and my children are living in a house with tiles falling off walls, leak from the bathroom damaging the ceiling downstairs and leaking roof, a kitchen that is literally falling apart, doors that are insecure and drafty, cracked and broken windows, carpets with holes in, fences that are falling down, I l could go on. I work and receive tax credits and child tax credits. I have one child who has special educational needs and both who suffer with anxiety. I have applied for and was granted one grant which paid for a hedge which was completely overgrown and unmanageable to be taken down. This was the only thing that needed doing that I didn't have to contribute financially to that I qualified for.
I would really like to have the front door replaced as it is drafty and you can see daylight round the edges. You have to slam it really hard to get it to shut properly and this is causing plaster to fall off the walls and causing more drafts.
What can I apply for?
The rest of the work that needs doing will cost approx. £10,000.00. Not including carpets, other flooring, oven, hob and fridge.
Thanks

Emily 29/08/2018 at 10:22 pm

My husband and I are currently renting. On our landlords land there is a derelict mill. The main body of the building is still standing, but is in need of major repair in all areas.

The landlords have enquirer about permission to turn it into a holiday let, but if they allow us to purchase it, would we be able to get a grant to restore it?? We’re in the Thames Valley area and would need help to get it up to a habitable standard, as it’s been empty for at least 15 years.

safi 29/04/2018 at 8:30 pm

Hi,

I have a rented property but it only has a gas fire in the lounge and the wall attached electric heaters in all the other rooms. It's only a small 2 bed house with prepayment meters. Do you know of any grants that could help with energy efficiency as it's got a D rating.

Thanks

Spaul 22/01/2017 at 6:33 am

I am a landlady and I have purchased a beautiful 2 bed flat it is pre 1860, it has beautiful extra tall sash windows, but all the windows are extremely draughty, and the flat is very cold. One of the windows has huge hole that runs the length of the windows and is about 1 foot deep, you can see straight through to the outside wall.

It was originally one very large house, then in 1864 I believe it became the old Young People Christian and Literary Institute and is the only block in the street that was partially destroyed during WWII.

I would appreciate your help and advice with keeping the flat warm, how to become energy efficient. Thank you.

Jay 19/01/2017 at 11:23 pm

I am a landlord who has a house in desperate need of Windows, siding and roofing. It was built in 1959 and has the original windows and siding that are completely falling out. the house is currently empty and has been for a while since it's in desperate repair. Could I qualify for a loan or grant? I would like to get it rented as soon as possible and could rent it to a lower income or a disability person

I bought my house from housing executive last march. They told me 1 1\2 yrs ago I needed new front and back doors as they are warped. The work was never done. Is there a grant I can get to help me replace them, I'm on benefit's. Thanks

GrantsExpert Editor 04/01/2017 at 11:44 am

Did none of these things show up on the survey when you purchased the property? You should check with your local council to see if any asbestos removal grants are available in your area. Other than that you will probably have to fund the roof repair yourself.

bungy 03/01/2017 at 7:52 am

Hello I have two problems in that I have roof on a my house purchased 16 months ago that leaks and is making the house very damp – it looks like the roof may have been replaced 10 years ago but was only cheaply done just tiles no felt – basically not done properly it is it is not insulated .
The next problem looks like the old ceiling in the upstairs of the house is completely asbestos
Can I get this removed under a grant

GrantsExpert Editor 09/11/2016 at 12:25 pm

Firstly get a second opinion from an recommended roofing expert, secondly ask your local council if there are any grants or low cost accessible loans (only select those that they recommend) in your area. The Turn2Us website also has lists of grants and help you might be able to find.

lisajane 08/11/2016 at 2:48 pm

I own my own home and i recently paid for some repairs on my roof. only to be told that we rearly do need to have a new roof done.(old slate roof ). is now beyond repair.
I am a single parent in full time work and can not meet the full cost of having a new roof. i have also tried to get a loan from the high street but no been able to due to poor credit.
is there anywhere i can get some help from.
Any advice appreciated...

GrantsExpert Editor 08/11/2016 at 10:42 am

It's unlikely you would be eligible for a grant for this, but try your local authority and also the Turn2 Us Grant search tool

Staybo 06/11/2016 at 11:18 am

My husband and I own our own home and would like to upgrade our windows throughout the whole house as they were the original double glazed windows from the 1960's they let so much cold through and we get condensation and damp on the walls from them. We was wondering if we would be eligible to get a grant to replace these, we both work full time?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a BTL house which is occupied by tenants. It has a rising damp problems and a low energy rating. I would need a grant to firstly tackle thee rising damp and also help with gaining the property a better energy rating. Could you help?

trickydicky 14/09/2016 at 2:34 pm

I have had a salesman at my door telling me that there are grants available for re roofing my terraced house as the tiles are no longer available. My roof is still watertight and not in need of repair at the moment is this information correct

Sonja 29/08/2016 at 8:33 am

I own a BTL property built c 1900. It has an F EFC rating.

I really want to improve the carbon footprint of the property and of course hopefully save the tenants some money on their energy bills.

Are their any grants available that can help me?
thanks

Hi My husbands claims Jobseekers allowance for us as a couple. We are both over 60 and wondered if there is a grant available to help us towards damp proofing our home. We own our home and it was built around 1930.

Keith 31/05/2016 at 9:50 am

I am a private landlord and have a tenant that has a mental illness and is on council funded benefits, The property is an old mansion block divided into 4 flats. My ground floor flat (owned for one year) has no sound insulation and the noise from above is intolerable and I have agreed to sound insulate the ceilings to Part E building regulation standard. My tenant has complained constantly so felt obliged to act. I am doing room by room but is very costly. Would I be eligible for a grant for this work. So far I have had her bedroom sound insulated and intend to progress as time and funds permit. I would like to think of myself as a considerate landlord but this work will cost several thousands of pounds.

Hi I'm a secretary for a local village hall committee and we have just discovered whilst making enquiries for a quote to re-wire the whole hall, that there is asbestos in many parts of the building and that no electrician will undertake the work. We acquired a full report from an asbestos professional company and a further quote. The quote to remove the asbestos will be in the region of £40,000. Are there any grants available for this type of work? As we will not have nowhere near this kind of savings to carry out the work!

BusyMum31 19/05/2016 at 3:53 pm

Hi, I was wondering if we would possibly qualify for a grant. we own our own home, (still paying a mortgage,) however my husband is no longer able to work and is registered disabled. I am his full time carer and also suffer with ill health. Our home over the years has become over crowded as we have 6 children and a 3 bed home. Due to the sudden change in circumstances we no longer have savings, and are no longer financially in a position to move. We desperatly need to add 2 more bedrooms, although we have a small garden, we do have the attic and a single storey extension at the rear that could be built up. Our home was built in 1901 and we have owned it for nearly 16 years.
Please advise.
Thanks.

GrantsExpert Editor 14/04/2016 at 2:32 pm

You could try the Funds for Historic Buildings , or check out the Energy Saving Trust's information on insulation grants. It might also be worth looking at contributions from the inhabitants of the offices.

Mike 13/04/2016 at 9:43 am

I am a trustee of a 400 year old building. The top floors are let as offices, and I have discovered that there is no insulation in the roof at all. The trustees are all volunteers and use a lot of the rent maintaining the building. Would there be any grants available to help us make the building more energy efficient?

We're not aware of any grants for sceptic tanks, but it would be be worth contacting the local authority and the water company to see if they can offer any suggestions. Also try the Turn 2 Us Grants Search tool.

GrantsExpert Editor 16/02/2016 at 2:30 pm

There are not many grants available for roofing or damp in the current economic climate, but your mother's local council should be your first port of call as they usually know about any grants available.

My mother is 59 and lives in a 1890 cottage. It was purchased over five years ago and their is a serious damp problem, rising and through the roof. There is mold and it is too cold to live in. Is there any thing to help with this?

GrantsExpert Editor 05/02/2016 at 12:47 pm

No a grant for this is unlikely. Usually your insurance or the tenant's deposit should cover things like this.

Mich 04/02/2016 at 10:04 pm

I'm enquiring to see if my landlord can get help with having new modern storage heaters and double glazing fitted to his property as I currently rent one of the three flats in this listed building which has wooden windows throughout subsequently I lose all my heat in winter through the windows this becomes increasingly frustrating as I'm currently receiving benefits due to ill health from CPOD & M.E/CFS and in winter I'm barely able to keep myself warm with the combination of the windows/storage heaters being the main factor of my flat being very cold
Any help would be very beneficial for my health

Hi
I am a landlord and my last tenant ruined my kitchen. Are there grants available so that I can replace it for the next tenant.

Thanks

GrantsExpert Editor 03/02/2016 at 10:14 am

There are not many grants available for this kind of work at the moment, but you should approach your landlord if the heating is insufficient. If you feel the wiring is unsafe, then again it's something that your landlord should investigate. It's highly unlikely that any landlord (private or social) will allow you to rewire their property.

bobby 01/02/2016 at 3:17 pm

HartsAmess 07/12/2015 at 2:47 pm

Hi Could anyone please advise.
My dad is in care with dementia. I have Power of attorney over his premises. He has a house and adjoining shop in a prime shopping/student location. The house and shop are very rundown. His disabled grandson lives in part of the property. Could a grant be given to repair roof and windows and insulate? Also to section off shop and make self contained? It is an 1890's build. Would consider leasing to local authority for 5 years but to tenants that would not impinge on grandson's health..So realistically not young students but to maturer types/families. The shop would also be available to rent. It seems such a shame not to be able to generate income in order to fund dad's care and protect his assets; whilst providing housing and employment to others. Thank-you.

Unless you have medical problems or a disability it's unlikely that you will get a grant for this. You mentioned your wife has health issues...it might be worth asking for a grant on that basis if it's a relevant problem. Try the Turn 2 Us grants search

Jas 30/08/2015 at 8:16 pm

Hello, I and my wife both work; although around the minimum wage rate. I work full time and wife works part time due to health issues. We own our house built circa 1930s and it does not have a downstairs WC but does have a very large and long rear garden. We are both getting on in life with me being older at 61 years and thus feel that we must now have a downstairs WC. With the garden being really long there should be no issues with downstairs extension so I am looking into getting an extension done for a wet room. Can you please advise if I could qualify for a grant and if so who and how do I approach.

My Landlord is now aware of my condition and has asked me(being the Tenant) to find out about a Grant towards installing GCH... ..?

GrantsExpert Editor 29/07/2015 at 2:19 pm

@LK. Speak to your local authority. Are you willing to let it as an affordable home etc? It's likely that you will only be successful if you are restoring a home that is of historic value or if you are provided a home on some kind of social basis (i.e not simply so you can make a profit/income from it).

Hi I want to know where I apply for a grant on home energy improvements and roofing repairs. I basically need a new roof which I have been quoted at £4k!! My boiler is a back boiler as well and my tenant is finding it difficult paying for bills due to an inefficient back boiler. To install a combi boiler some pipework will need to be changed and new pipes etc installed which will cost me a lot... Also roof is leaking into property and I have a tenant whos old on disability allowance and has breathing problems too... I don't want any damp with the recent weather... :(

GrantsExpert Editor 06/07/2015 at 10:38 am

@JJ. There's not a great deal you can do about the current issues if you have no money to fix them (apart from borrowing). You should really have taken remedial action when your lettings agency kept the security bond and your tenants left all the damage.

JJ 01/07/2015 at 6:45 pm

Hello, I am a landlord living abroad. My previous tenant left my house in a real state which cost a lot of money to put right. The letting agent I used stole the security bond of the tenants so I didn't have that to use.
I now have a new tenant and have just been notified that my roof has holes in it. I have no money to fix it. I have just lost my job here and I am at a loss as to what to do. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I have been told that the DPC has failed and there is damp coming up from the skirting so on internal walls and it also seems to be coming up through the solid floor as carpets are smelling musty and damp. I have a lung problem which is being investigated at hospital and I believe the damp is making it worse. I do not have the funds to have the necessary work done. Are there any grants available for me?

@Pam. You may be entiteld to repairs grant which is sometimes available if a Notice of Disrepair has been served on the landlord (owner). Repairs grant aid is only considered for properties which are subject to a protected or statutory tenancy under the Rent Order (NI) 1978. More information is on the NIHE website

we have just received a letter from the council stating that we have to make repairs on our buy to let flat. loft insulation and damp proofing are two of the repairs but we just not in a position to pay for these repairs and have issued a section 21 and are trying to sell the flat. the tenant wont move out because she wants a council house and refuses to go until we fork out thousands for bailiffs. are there any grants available to us as landlords for this situation?

@nessa. Landlords can register their tenants to see if they qualify under the Affordable warmth scheme. And British Gas has incentives for new boilers too see here for more information.. It's also worth trying one of the other Green Deal schemes

@Danny and @Jo. Some local authorities offer discretionary grants to landlords for home improvements. They are most often given for properties that are empty or in a state of disrepair in order to bring them up to a standard whereby they can be let out as social housing though.

@Jan. You would probably have to be already living there to be entitled to any of the benefits, payments and/or grants that might be available. You should contact your local council to see if there is any help they can offer. After all, if you move away from your existing (rented) home, that will leave them with an additional property to let to someone on the waiting list.

Our roof is in a dangerous situation after suffering storm damage. The roofing company who inspected the damage have more than 30 years experience. They said that in their opinion the roof had lifted due to the storms and was in a seriously dangerous condition.We urgently seek help and advice as our insurance company have rejected our claim stating the damage was due to nail fatigue. We are 67 year old pensioners receiving pension credits, with serious debts due to business failure and ill health. We live in South Wales. We are in a desperate situation and need help and financial assistance. Are you able to help us?

Hello, I was wondering if you know whether there are grants provided to help up grade the water system in a house. We rent a house but unknown to us water tank is outside and takes three days to refill. Not big enough for a family of nine. We reside near Tintagel. Kind regards
