The Energy Saving Team

Improve the value & rentability of your properties using Government grants & Landlord Energy Saving Tax Allowances for Solar Panels, Insulation & Heating at very little cost or even Free.

Three main Benefits:

• Tenants tend to Stay Longer & Properties rent QUICKER
  Utility bills are the second highest of your tenant's monthly outgoings - after your rent. The more you can reduce this, the more likely they are to be able to pay your rent, stay longer and cope with rent increases. In HMO's where bills are included with the rent, this can make a massive difference to YOUR profits

• Re-claim the Cost of Energy Efficient Measures
  As a landlord you can claim up to a £1,500 tax rebate for taking energy saving measures and some of your tenants, on qualifying benefits, can receive the full cost of energy efficiency measures using the grants. These grants range from £3,500 to £6,000 to upgrade their boiler, fit loft and cavity wall insulation and draught proofing and can help to raise the value of your home - at little or no cost to you.

• Solar Panels

By investing in Solar energy you will receive a government backed return on your investment every year for 25 years and your tenants will have reduced electricity bills.  You make money and have an excellent relationship with your tenants.

• Improve the Value & rentability
  You can make your property more attractive & easier to rent by taking the time to explain to tenants the lower running costs with average savings of 25% on utility bills and less likely to have condensation, damp & mould compared to un-insulated properties on offer. Tenant's rarely asks to see an Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) as they don't really care about how energy efficient a home is, as long as it's the size they want, in the location they want at a price they can afford but you can a use better EPC rating to your advantage to rent it quicker.

Background
More than 25% of the CO2 emissions in the UK comes from heating our homes with Landlords being the 'biggest' polluters as they have more than one property. The government is providing grant assistance to help Landlords make their properties more energy efficient in order to combat Climate Use Government Grants to better insulate our properties, such as cavity wall & loft insulation which typically accounts for 60% heat loss in a home. With prices from £149 for Loft or Cavity wall insulation, there is a saving of nearly £1000 on cost of insulation using the grant. This offers an average saving on the heating bill of £255 each year with less condensation, damp & mould.

Heating
We can offer the Best Central Heating deal for Landlords with the government approved heating company if tenants not eligible for heating grants with FREE 5 year warranty with a flexible payment plan of 'Buy now, Pay later' or spread the payments over 5-10 years -saving up to £225 each year on the gas bill with modern condensing A rated boiler.
