- Booking a Green Deal Advisor is the first step to getting the Green Deal Scheme. The Government backed Green Deal Scheme will enable home owners to add energy efficient products to their property up to the value of approx. £10,000 or more at NO upfront cost to you. You could have, for example, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solar panels, floor insulation. A Green Deal Advisor will have to visit your property and perform a Green Deal Assessment to see what improvements/measures your property would gain from. There are 45 Green Deal improvements/measures available for properties - please CLICK HERE for a full list.
- The UK Government have pledged: "hundreds of pounds up for grabs with £125m Green Deal cash back offer" - Households quick off the mark could get as much as £1,000 cash back. Please CLICK HERE
- A Green Deal Advisor will play a vital role in the Green Deal Scheme. A Green Deal Advisor will perform a Green Deal Assessment on the property to ensure it can gain from the Green Deal Scheme. Please CLICK HERE for full Green Deal Scheme information.
The Green Deal Finance is not like a personal loan - it will be paid back by the savings made on the energy bills by having better insulated properties: a Pay-As-You-Save loan scheme. The Green Deal Finance debt will be attached to the property's electricity bill and NOT to the person or the property. Pay back can be up to 25 years. You pay as you save. If you move away from the property the Green Deal finance debt stays with the property, after all, the new occupier will gain from lower energy bills. A Green Deal Advisor has to assess the property to enure it meets the Green Deal's "Golden Rule". Your Green Deal Provider pays your Green Deal Installer directly from your Green Deal finance
How do I apply for the Green Deal Scheme?
Step 1 of the Green Deal UK scheme:

Based on your current lifestyle / energy usage the Green Deal Advisor will be able to give Green Deal Advice and recommendations.
After Green Deal Advice has been given the Green Deal Advisor will produce a Green Deal Report. Your Green Deal Plan will then be created. Green Deal energy efficient improvements are said to include: Cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, solid wall insulation, floor insulation, draught proofing, boiler upgrades, double glazing, solar water panels, wind turbines and ground source heat pumps (note: some improvements may have to be part funded by you if they do not meet the "Green Deal Golden Rule" )

- Take your time in making a decision - If you are promised a 'special discount' or 'time limited' offer don't be tempted to sign up straightaway. Shop around with different businesses to make sure you get a good deal. Remember: you can ask a salesperson to leave your home at any time.
- Double check the facts - Check the product is suitable for your home, whether you are eligible for any grants towards the cost of installation, and the basis of any claims about potential energy savings or benefits. Only agree to go ahead if you're entirely satisfied.
- Know what you are signing - Check whether you are signing a contract or just agreeing to a survey or a quote. Give yourself enough time to read all the paperwork, and ask questions if you are unclear about anything. Don't sign if you are unsure about doing so.
- Know your cancellation rights - Where you buy on your doorstep or in your home and you spend more than £35, you usually have seven calendar days to change your mind and cancel, and can get back any money you have already paid, including a deposit - the 'cooling off' period. The cooling off period starts on the day you are given your written cancellation notice by the salesperson. Think carefully before you agree to any work starting during the cooling off period - you can still cancel but may have to pay a reasonable amount.
- Know your rights if things go wrong - Make sure you know what you can do if things go wrong. Contact Citizens Advice for information and advice on your legal rights.
