Many homeowners ask whether their property qualifies for grants and express a strong desire for more information about available financial support.
“Have you investigated if your property qualifies for a grant?"
"Does anyone know of anything anywhere where we might get some financial support here?"
"Are there any other potential sources of funding that it's worth us checking (EPC of C already)?"
"How much public support would you have for this?"
