  • 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 Glasgow properties qualify.

Frequently asked questions

Are semi-detached houses eligible for Warm Homes Plan grants in Glasgow?

Yes. Semi-detached houses are one of the most common property types to qualify for Warm Homes Plan grants. Many Glasgow semi-detached homes, particularly those built between 1930 and 1970, have cavity walls and loft spaces that make them ideal candidates for insulation and heating upgrades.

Is my semi-detached house likely to have cavity walls?

Most semi-detached houses built after 1920 in the UK have cavity walls. Properties from the 1930s to 1970s in particular are strong candidates for cavity wall insulation, which can be installed quickly with minimal disruption. If the cavity is already filled or the walls are solid, other insulation measures may apply. The free survey will confirm.

Can I get a heat pump in a semi-detached house?

Yes. Many semi-detached houses in Glasgow are suitable for air source heat pumps, which can be installed on an outside wall or in a side return. Proper insulation is recommended before or alongside a heat pump installation to maximise efficiency. The installer will assess your property during the free survey.

Do I need to receive benefits to qualify?

The main Warm Homes Plan route requires a qualifying means-tested benefit (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or similar) and an EPC rating of D or below. Some areas may qualify through the LA Flex route even without a qualifying benefit. The eligibility check clarifies your specific situation.

Can semi-detached landlords apply?

Yes. Landlords of semi-detached rental properties in Glasgow can apply for Warm Homes Plan grants, provided the tenant gives written consent and the property meets the EPC and eligibility criteria.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. Submitting the form is free and there is no obligation at any stage. If your Glasgow semi-detached house pre-qualifies, a local installer will contact you to arrange a free home survey.

What types of property in Glasgow are eligible?

Most residential property types in Glasgow 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 Warm Homes Plan Grants for Semi-Detached Houses. The grants themselves are government-funded.
