It's December... the festive season...

We normally go quieter at this time of year – not many people think about selling their homes around Christmas time but there is still a little buzz in the the air.

Apart from the stress that we assessors are about to go through with some major changes to the conventions we work with (never did sleep well)

The important news to consider before we wave goodbye to 2014 is the change in the tariff for biomass boilers which happens at the end of the year – anyone wanting to take advantage of the higher rate for the Renewable Heat Incentive needs to get their applications in before the end of the year. The rate will be dropping from 12.20p/kwh to 10.98p/kwh. Dont miss out, you will need your EPC and Green Deal Report which can be done by Advisors like us along with the MCS certificate from your installer.

There is still no sign of the Green Deal Home Improvement fund appearing …… but I am still glued to Government websites for news……bah humhug!
