📢 The final B&NES Landlord Forum is this Thursday!

The last two forums in B&NES went really well, and this one is your last chance to join us. If you let out a home in or around Bath, come along and find out what the new regulations mean for you and your properties.

🏡 Leave expensive oil heating behind.

Come along to the workshop later this week and find out whether your home could make use of the £9,000 in government funding towards a heat pump.

The session focuses on traditional homes, so you'll hear what the switch involves for an older property. Our impartial advisors will be on hand to answer questions about your own home.

The price of heating oil is only going up. Learn about the Government's £9k oil Boiler Upgrade Scheme your traditional home is eligible for at an independent Q&A.

01/10/2026

Curious about the Government's £9000 grant to upgrade from oil to an air source heat pump? One week to go until our free Q&A for homeowners reliant on oil for heating their homes.

🏡 THINKING ABOUT REPLACING YOUR OIL BOILER - but not sure whether a HEAT PUMP would work for your home?

Perhaps you’re wondering how much disruption is involved, whether your house will stay warm or how the Government’s £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant actually works?

This free workshop for MODERN HOMES is your opportunity to get straightforward, independent answers from retrofit_west and hear directly from a local homeowner who has already replaced their oil boiler with an air-source heat pump.

The session is aimed at people living in homes built AFTER 1919 with cavity walls. There’s no pressure or sales pitch - just friendly, practical advice to help you understand your options.

You’ll also receive a voucher for 50% off a Home Energy Survey, find out about a free whole-home energy assessment and enjoy some free refreshments. ☕💚
