The reopening of the Green Deal Home Improvement Funding is clear evidence the government has learned from previous mistakes, a representative of the National Landlords Association has said.
Chief Executive Officer of the NLA Richard Lambert feels that the availability of £30 million for the fund is a positive step.
According to Richard, the NLA is particularly pleased that the Government has adapted the application process to ensure that the funds go to the owners or occupiers of a property who have the project priced up and ready to go, rather than speculators looking to use a GDHIF voucher to tout for business.
“It’s vital that the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) manages the scheme to ensure the funds keeps flowing,” Richard said.
“The sporadic funding of energy efficiency improvements in the private rented sector has hampered the progress of the Green Deal.
“We all hope that this scheme will succeed by offering the consistency which will give landlords the confidence that money for energy efficiency improvements is accessible”.
