Scottish Windows Fund For Landlords
If you are living in a rented property whose windows are in desperate need of replacement then it is possible that the Scottish Windows Fund may be able to help. While tenants themselves aren’t able to qualify, there may be a chance that your landlord might be able to benefit from affordable windows and doors.
So what can you do if you are a tenant? If you live in rented property which has windows or doors that are clearly over 5 years old and in need of replacing, then we suggest that you liaise with your landlord and recommend to them to enquire to see if they qualify for free windows and doors, or substantial discounts through window and door recycling.
What is the Scottish Windows Fund?
The Scottish Windows Fund was established by 3 well established window companies who came together in order to offer homes in Scotland access to money for recycling your old windows and doors, including the glass. Most companies don’t recycle these effectively, but The Scottish Windows Fund does its bit for households as well as the environment.
By joining together, the trusted window companies involved in the scheme get substantial amounts of money for recycling old window and door frames, and are therefore able to offer substantial discounts and sometimes even free windows and doors. Collectively, they are able to provide savings due to lower operating costs.
How Do I Qualify?
Qualifying Landlords in Scotland could be entitled to take advantage of the Scottish Windows Fund. Numerous landlords (and by default their tenants) in Scotland have already been helped with new windows and doors by the scheme.
If the windows and doors in the property are more than 5 years old, are in poor condition and leading to draughts or condensation, or are single glazed, and you meet the qualifying criteria, you could be eligible to join the scheme. To determine whether you qualify as a landlord, just enter your details on our site and then fill out our 60-second application form.
