After trying and failing to get anyone to quote for EWI for my 3 Victorian terraced properties in October, I tried again after the announcement that the scheme has been extended for a year.
I got someone to come out and quote this week - yay! Cost for EWI on the rear of 3 properties between £6k & £7k, each of which will qualify for most of the £5k grant so the cost to me is in the order of £6k for over £19k of work.
Given that the push towards higher EPCs and reducing carbon is relentless I am going forwards with this, in the hope that it will allow me to achieve Govt targets as they change in the future - always good to be aiming at moving goalposts.
Apparently only 47,000 applications have been received out of a possible total of 650,000 so the limiting factor was tradesmen not money.
If you tried and failed to get a quote under this scheme it might be worth trying again now. I believe that the EWI will make my properties more attractive to tenants and buyers in the future so for me it was a no brainer.
Good luck fellow LLs
