Government funding

[Mike_scotland]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any funding available if your building a self build home? - like i have heard that there are grants available or interest free loans for heating systems etc, does anyone have any experience with this?

I am based in Scotland.

Much Thanks

Mike

There are grants for self builders in Scotland but only if you can't get finance from standard banks and you need to either own or be able to buy the land yourself. 

https://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk do an interest free loan for renewables up to £17.5K, I'm looking at this one myself.

Wasn't right for us.

Have a look at FAQ first.

We got that for our pellet stove but you have to have it installed by an mcs installer

That is a good point, it's looking like the rates from accredited installers are a bit high.
