Depending on many factors, including your house, EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) current and proposed, it may be worth considering green deal financing.

For the cost of a GD (Green Deal)-EPC (around £100-£120 and make sure they are GD approved) I would look at this route as the financing from other measures may also help offset some of the costs. There's too many factors for me to go through but firstly, get an EPC done, then speak to the person who comes round about brokers for ECO funding (grants). This will be your best route to get the best funding if it's available to you. Also, make sure they get you a copy of the xml file. That's what the grants people like to get, to calculate the grants your eligible for.

Make sure you check the early repayment clause. This will help you make the decision on what to do

And here's a really useful sheet - https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...Tariff-web.pdf

Hope it helps.
