Private sector housing grants
The private housing improvement team deals
with grants relating to adaptations for disabled occupants, removal
of minor hazards in the home, home security, energy efficiency and
equity release.
There are also grants for landlords to bring
empty properties back into use or convert redundant commercial
property to residential use.
We offer a range of grants and loans and the services of
the Tower Hamlets Home Improvement Agency, which was set up by
the Council to help elderly, disabled or low-income homeowners
and private tenants to apply for grants and loans. This financial
assistance is for improving or repairing domestic properties, or to
carry out adaptations to enable you to remain safe and independent
in your own home.
Qualifying criteria varies between schemes so
please check the details for each grant:
- disabled facilities grants –
available to owner-occupiers, private tenants and landlords
- empty property grants - available to
private individuals, private landlords (including registered social
landlords) who own an empty property and need to refurbish,
demolish and rebuild or convert their property to a number of units
and then let the property
