F.knows is there anything but quango speak there? I can't find
anything that says what is actually on offer, only wibble about the
administration and "safe guards".

I don't know about England but in Scotland property owners can get a
free energy survey (building and lifestyle, energy and car use, recycling
etc) and big subsidies for insulating loft, cavity walls, doors etc.


Paid for, no doubt, via the Barnett Formula.

It's a nationwide scheme covering the whole of Britain.Every
householder, owner or tenenat, qualifies for at least a 50% grant.

unclaimed.shtml

July 2011

"According to the New Policy Institute, there are over 5 million
households in the UK that could claim free insulation grants, saving
typically £260 a year on their energy bills, only 12% have actually
applied for grants for loft and cavity wall insulation.

As energy prices continue to rise, it's claimed that millions of UK
householders may struggle needlessly to stay warm this coming winter
despite help being offered by local government and energy companies.

47% of people asked did not think that they would qualify for insulation
grants whilst the rest did not know the grants existed or did not want
assistance.

Mark Smith from the Government Grants website said "As energy costs rise
at unprecedented rates and records are also being set for cold winters, it
seems madness that people are not taking advantage of these grants"

Currently insulation grants of between 50% and 100% are offered to ALL UK
home owners depending on their location and circumstances."
