Insulation grants for landlords

Eligibility is usually the tenant's, the property must be inefficient, and the landlord often contributes. Still worth it, given where minimum EPC standards are heading.

How landlord funding works

  • Under ECO4, private rented homes rated E to G with an eligible tenant may receive measures; the landlord consents and may contribute.
  • Under Warm Homes: Local Grant, many councils fund private rented homes with a landlord contribution — often a third — and a cap on the number of properties per landlord.
  • Social landlords have their own routes and are not covered here.

Why act now

Minimum energy efficiency standards for rented homes are tightening. Funded loft, cavity and room-in-roof insulation are the cheapest route to a better EPC. ECO4 ends on 31 December 2026.
