The Energy Saving Team helps Landlords Improve the value & rentability of their rental properties using Government grants & Landlord Energy Saving Tax Allowances for Insulation & Heating at very little cost or even Free.

The 3 main Benefits for Landlords & tenants (and the planet) are:

Improve the Value & rentability of your properties
Tenants tend to stay longer & properties rent quicker due to lower running costs.
Re-claim the Cost of Energy Efficient Measures

Background

With Climate change upon us, most scientists, weathermen and politicians around the world agree that we need to reduce the greenhouse gas CO2 emissions before it’s too late. Our weather in the UK is changing, with the recent ‘Big Freeze’ causing disruption for many of us.

More than 25% of the CO2 emissions in the UK comes from heating our homes with Landlords being the ‘biggest’ polluters as they have more than one property.

The government is providing grant assistance to help make our properties more energy efficient in order to combat Climate Change- you may have seen the ‘Act on CO2’ adverts on TV.

As a landlord we can use Government Grants to better insulate our properties, such as cavity wall & loft insulation which typically accounts for 60% heat loss in a home. With prices from £129 for Loft or Cavity wall insulation for insulating a 5 bed house, there is a saving of nearly £1000 on cost of insulation using the grant. This offers an average saving on the heating bill of £365 each year with less condensation, damp & mould.

Furthermore, we can offer the Best Central Heating deal for Landlords, FREE 5 year warranty with a flexible payment plan of ‘Buy now, Pay later’ or spread the payments over 10 years with the UK’s largest heating installers with a modern condensing A-rated boiler, offering a further saving of up to £235 each year on the gas bill.

Landlords can re-claim the cost of insulating their properties as a tax saving under the Landlord Energy Saving Allowance of up to £1500 per property!!

Three keys Benefits:

Tenants tend to Stay Longer & Properties rent QUICKER
Utility bills are the second highest of your tenant’s monthly outgoings – after your rent! The more you can reduce this, the more likely they are to be able to pay your rent, stay longer and cope with rent increases. In HMO’s where bills are included with the rent, this can make a massive difference to YOUR profits
Re-claim the Cost of Energy Efficient Measures
As a landlord you can claim up to a £1,500 tax rebate for taking energy saving measures and some of your tenants, on qualifying benefits can receive the full cost of energy efficiency measures using the grants. These range from £3,500 to £6,000 to upgrade their boiler, fit loft and cavity wall insulation and draught proofing and can help to raise the value of your home – at little or no cost to you.
Improve the Value & rentability
You can make your property more attractive & easier to rent by taking the time to explain to tenants the lower running costs with average savings of 25% on utility bills and less likely to have condensation, damp & mould compared to un-insulated properties on offer. Tenant’s rarely asks to see an Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) as they don’t really care about how energy efficient a home is, as long as it’s the size they want, in the location they want at a price they can afford but you can a use better EPC rating to your advantage to rent it quicker.

Won’t getting grants be more hassle than it’s worth?

If you don’t understand the system and the grants available, then you are right it would be a lot of hassle to try to find out what you were eligible and how much money you can save.

Fortunately there are now easier ways for landlords to implement energy efficient measures:-
