    .........and use that LESA:

    LESA - how much is it and what does it cover?

    LESA is a tax allowance (not a cash payment) that allows you to claim up to £1,500 against tax every year. This allowance can be claimed for properties you rent out in the UK and abroad. You can claim LESA for the costs of buying and installing certain energy saving products for properties you rent out, but only for what you actually spend.
    You can claim LESA for what you have spent on:
    • cavity wall and loft insulation, after 6 April 2004
    • solid wall insulation, after 7 April 2005
    • draught proofing and hot water system insulation, after 6 April 2006
    • floor insulation, after 6 April 2007
    You can claim LESA up to 1 April 2015, when the availability of this allowance will end.
