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.
