Landlords that fail to bring their properties up to scratch face enforcement action that could land them a financial penalty of up to £5,000. “We know most landlords are responsible and are willing to comply with their obligations to ensure tenants have warm homes that are not cold and damp, which will help to improve their health and wellbeing; but we will not hesitate to take action against those landlords who breach the rules.
The Government-backed Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund and Home Upgrade Grant commits £1.4 billion of funding, matched by an additional £1.1 billion from social housing landlords and charities. The Government says the package should improve domestic heating systems in 115,000 homes and support 20,000 jobs around the country.
Welcoming the cash injection for energy efficient homes in the county, MP Philip Dunne said:"Not only do energy-inefficient buildings contribute hugely to the nation's greenhouse gas emissions by leaking energy to the atmosphere, but they also leak cash through expensive energy bills.
