There are no grants available for gas boilers only for heat pumps which are unlikely to be suitable for a Victorian house. Both British Gas and Heatable offer 0% 4 year finance on a new boiler.

in the short term to keep yourselves warm over the Christmas period consider getting a couple of heated throws.

Being asset rich but cash poor is not a great place to be and older homes tend to be expensive to maintain, so if it is at all possible in the long term I would be looking to downsize to something more modern that is cheaper to run and and to free up some equity from you inheritance.

So all the calls I've had recently were scams?
