My understanding was a that if a property that has received grant-aided improvements is sold within a certain period of time, a proportion of that grant-aid has to be repaid.Â
Can I ask if the properties are owned and what the properties are worth?
What's losing me is that there's a heck of a difference between someone who has an asset running into the hundred of thousands and someone renting who has no assets.
If the gov is handing out free solar to certain people - wouldn't you start with those most needy - ie no assets or total asset value < £x, rather than basing into income and savings? Or else doesn't it just add the gap between those who have those who don't - as the property value after the solar upgrade increases the owners assets doesn't it, as well as giving them access to cheaper energy?
Have I got that all wrong?
Trouble is, a lot of the most needy people are in rented housing and free solar would mostly benefit their landlords. My guess is that the owner of a property would have to qualify for any improvement scheme, not the tenant.

There used to be a Polish man who had the sandwich stall at Ealing Broadway station in the 70s. He did the best egg mayo sandwiches ever - on brown bread and with lashings of black pepper.
