Renovation Tax Credit

Question: Local Authority Renovation Grants – who qualifies and how much?
We bought our 3 bed victorian terraced house in an ex mining village in December 2005 for £72,000.
Its very shabby and desperately needs a lot of work done to it, but we just have no way of financing this.
We are a low income family but we are not on benefits. I am not working, partner earns around £12,000 p/a and we get tax credits.
We were turned down for a “minor works grant” as our “contribution” was too high (over £1,000 according to the Council).
We can’t apply for a Renovation Grant until we have lived here for 3 years (that will be next December). What are our chances of getting one and what could it be used for? The windows and doors need replacing, we have damp problems, the electrics all need re-doing and also the central heating system. We also have plaster coming off the walls and the house needs redecorating (desperately!)
Answer: Have you tried your local Citizens Advise Bureau (CAB) ?
