01
Headline route
The public application page describes privately owned or privately rented homes in England, normally with EPC D to G, plus income, benefit or priority-area conditions.
02
Local decision
A council checks eligibility and arranges the next steps. Meeting initial conditions does not guarantee an award or a particular measure.
03
What to verify
Check your council route, current income threshold or alternative route, landlord requirements for rented homes, property assessment and whether solar is suitable within the funded package. GOV.UK's own guidance describes exceptions to the headline income figure — including households in specific lower-income postcode areas, or where someone receives a qualifying benefit — so do not rule yourself out on income alone before checking the official page.
