Do house improvement grants still exsist in Scotland

joe65

My flat urgently needs some major repairs, but currently don't have the money, but if I win my tax credit appeal, I will have significant funds, but not enough to cover all the work

Work that needs to be done, dry rot in bathroom, and kitchen, new boiler and radiators, rewiring, and new units for kitchen, and bathroom

So if I have around £4000, I may need additional funds to make up the repair bill, so if it comes in at £12,500, I think I will need a grant to cover the remainder

By what I see on the scot gov web site, councils don't offer improvement grants, it more of advice, so do grants still exist in scotland

They do, but their availability wil vary between different council areas, and how much of their budget they have left.

For all intents and purposes, if you are not on benefit, they do not...

Have you considered borrowing the extra £8500?

There may be hope!

Can't see the need to be on benefits though I haven't ploughed through every word. One seems to be a grant of sorts and the other is part of the Green Deal - there is lots of info on the GD on main area of this site.
