4. Making the application

If you are interested please get in touch. We will discuss your options and ask you to complete an application form to make sure that you meet the conditions. A housing officer will then visit your home to agree the work needed.

Once agreed, we will refer you to our partner 'Lendology'. One of their advisers will talk to you about the options available and will let you know what loan they can offer, the terms of repayment and how much interest is to be paid.

If you do not qualify for a loan, a grant may be offered, but you will have to repay this if you sell the house within 5 years.
