The improvements funded through the scheme must contribute to making the property ‘Warm, Safe and/or Secure’.

Loans can be £1,000 to £35,000 per unit of accommodation. All loans are secured as first or second charges on the land registry title.

The loan is interest free however, an administration charge will be applied up to the value of £500. This fee may be paid upfront or added to the loan applied for.
