Council Scheme to keep Homes Warm - Information for Landlords and Tenants

Teignbridge District Council has launched a new £20k drive to encourage private landlords to improve energy efficiency on their properties, offering funding up to£575 or 50% of work done. It could be loft and cavity wall insulation or installing condensing boilers or replacing a central heating system. This scheme is intended for tenants who are receiving a means tested benefit, or are over 70 years of age, or have a child under the age of 6 years old.
Landlords are the people to apply to the Council but tenants can make their Landlord aware. Apply:- housing@teignbridge.gov.uk or call 01626 215764.
