Landlords Energy Saving Allowance

Government offers to help landlords with the cost of insulation

Landlords have been urged to accept the government's offer to help them with the cost of insulation.

Those buy-to-let property owners wishing to save themselves and their tenants some money during lean economic times can apply for a Landlords Energy Saving Allowance (LESA) to help fund cavity wall, floor and loft insulation in the rented sector this winter.

Not only will this help tenants save money, it should also increase the value of a landlord's property if they should decide to sell it.

Recently, the government announced that it is extending the LESA scheme until 2015. Any landlord paying income tax can apply.
