Am I eligible for a grant in Nottingham?

You likely qualify if...

  • Your home is EPC band D, E, F or G
  • You own your home or have written landlord consent
  • You receive a qualifying benefit (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, etc.)
  • Your property was built before 2000 and has an older heating system

You may still qualify if...

  • Your income is higher but your EPC rating is very poor
  • You are a private tenant (with written landlord permission)
  • You live in a rural area not on the gas grid
  • Your local council has identified your area for LA Flex funding

LA Flex is a local authority referral route that can extend eligibility beyond standard income thresholds. Check below to see if Nottingham properties qualify.

Frequently asked questions

What is Warmer Homes Scotland?

Warmer Homes Scotland is the Scottish Government's energy efficiency grant scheme for eligible homeowners and private tenants. It is a different scheme from the UK Government's Warm Homes Plan and is administered by Home Energy Scotland, which can be reached on 0808 808 2282. It funds insulation, heating upgrades, and heat pumps for eligible low-income and vulnerable households in Scotland.

Is the Warm Homes Plan available in Scotland?

The UK Government's Warm Homes Plan is primarily an England scheme. Scotland has its own equivalent, Warmer Homes Scotland. However, the UK-wide Boiler Upgrade Scheme does apply in Scotland, offering up to £7,500 off a new heat pump for eligible homeowners.

Who qualifies for Warmer Homes Scotland?

Warmer Homes Scotland is targeted at low-income households, including those receiving means-tested benefits, and vulnerable households such as those with elderly or disabled residents. Eligibility criteria differ from the English Warm Homes Plan, so it is worth contacting Home Energy Scotland directly on 0808 808 2282 or submitting the form below to check your specific circumstances.

Can I apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in Scotland?

Yes. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies in Scotland and Wales as well as England. Eligible homeowners replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump can claim up to £7,500 off the installation cost. The scheme is not means-tested, making it accessible to a wider range of Scottish homeowners.

Are there other Scottish grant schemes?

Yes. Local authorities in Scotland administer additional area-based schemes funded by the Scottish Government. Home Energy Scotland can provide details of current schemes available in your local area. Phone 0808 808 2282 (free) or submit the form below to find out what applies to your Scottish property.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. Submitting the form is free and there is no obligation. We will connect you with an accredited installer who can assess your eligibility for Scottish and UK-wide schemes.

What types of property in Nottingham are eligible?

Most residential property types in Nottingham can qualify, including detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, bungalows, and some flats. The property must be your main residence or a rental property where you have landlord permission. Eligibility also depends on your current EPC rating and heating system.

Is this an official government service?

UK Home Grants is an independent eligibility service operated by Stubo Interactive. We are not affiliated with DESNZ, Ofgem, or any government department. We connect homeowners with accredited installers who administer grants under the Home Improvement Grants for Scotland. The grants themselves are government-funded.
