Find out about do-it-yourself grants, who can claim with qualification criteria and how to claim. When you are older, disabled or on a low income, your local do-it-yourself agency (HIA) can help you to repair, improve, maintain or adapt your home. But the trick to benefiting from a home improvement grant is to always know the details of what you are applying for before you actually take up any of the work.

Construction subsidies and loan

Contributions or credits can be made available to owner-occupiers to cover repair, improvement and power costs. Entitlement depends on the applicant's legal capacity and his/her ability to receive certain types of revenue or related services. These grants and grants are all voluntary and there is a very small budgetary limit. Access to these grants/loans may be revoked at any moment.

You can find more information in our guidelines for the renovation of housing in the residential sector or at Environmental health. For works aimed at eliminating a significant threat to the heath, security or well-being of residents, a master loan may be provided (a Class 1 threat under the Housing Act 2004). In order to be eligible, you must have been living in your home for at least 1 year and have received a qualified, needs-tested service.

In the event of a move, the entire amount of the credit must be paid back. Grants for smaller works may be awarded to help owner-occupiers perform smaller repair work where there is an immediate danger to the inmates' well-being, well-being or security AND the claimant receives a qualified, moderately assessed utility.

If you move within 10 years, you must pay back the full amount of the subsidy. Funding for facilities accessible to the handicapped provides funding for the costs of the necessary adaptations to make a home accessible to the handicapped. Please consult Environmental Health for more information and our FAQs on accommodation subsidies and loans.
