Grants and loans
East Renfrewshire Council is currently developing its Scheme of Assistance, under the terms of the Housing (Scotland) 2006 Act.
The Scheme of Assistance represents a change in the way the Council will help homeowners meet the challenge of improving the quality and management of housing in the private market in the 21st century
It will set out in a statement the circumstances in which it will prioritise particular types of information, advice, practical assistance and financial assistance to private homeowners in relation to works carried out to private homes.
It is intended to permit better targeting of resources and to encourage owners to carry out more works.
The basic premise of the Scheme is that owners are responsible for the condition of their properties and that the council will only intervene where this situation is failing. However, it is also acknowledged that some owners will need assistance to enable them to meet their obligations as homeowners.
