Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total amount of assistance, excluding any assistance for disability access improvements, provided to the owners of homes in the form of (1) standard grants, (2) improvement grants, (3) intermediate grants, (4) renovation grants, and (5) similar grants, to renovate and improve older private sector housing; and what was the cost to the national exchequer for each year of the operation of those grants.

The Department does not provide funding to the owners of older, private housing stock for renovation and improvement work. However this Government has been clear that the Housing Market should be fair for everyone, which is why in January last year, the Government announced plans for a new Housing Complaints Resolution Service to help consumers more easily access help when things go wrong with their home.
