Please note this scheme is currently at capacity, you may still register your interest in the scheme and will be contacted if new capacity becomes available. Apologies for the inconvenience.

What is the property tenure?*

In order to continue we will need your landlord to complete this form as there are some prequalification questions. (You can view them if you select 'I rent the property to private tenants'). We will still need to see your qualification evidence but this will be requested at a later date.

By continuing this form you confirm that your landlord has already given permission for your application. The landlord will need to make a financial contribution to upgrade works, and they will be subject to their own eligibility checks.

1. Devon County Council will only consider landlords within the private rented sector eligible when they own 4 or fewer rental properties and if they complete a subsidy declaration, which declares that they will remain within the Minimal Financial Assistance limit of £315k if their rental property is retrofitted under HUG 2. Subsidy form is provided further on in the process.

2. The 4-property limit applies to the landlord and their spouse or partner, any
companies the landlord (or spouse or partner) owns or controls, and where the
landlord is a company, any other companies in that group, and includes any other
body or organisation similarly connected to the landlord

3. The landlord will be required to provide proof that they own the property, proof that the property is off gas-grid and a valid EPC (rated D or E) for the property.

4. Landlords within the private rented sector are required to contribute at least 33% (one third) towards the cost of upgrading homes. This will need to be paid in full before measures are instructed and installed.

I confirm that I as the landlord qualify based on the four points above.
