Homeowners

Advice and support for people who own their homes.

Empty properties

There are a huge variety of reasons for a house being left vacant and as a result there are no 'quick fix' solutions to the problem of empty properties

Private sector housing grants

We can sometimes provide grants and assistance for eligible homeowners, landlords and private tenants of properties within the Ipswich borough boundary.

Disabled facilities grants

Grants for disabled adaptations are available to help you live more comfortably in your own home by providing the necessary alterations to meet your needs.

Warm Homes Healthy People Project

Suffolk's Warm Homes Healthy People project helps vulnerable people and families make their homes cheaper to heat.

Orwell Housing renovation grants

The Orwell Housing Association has secured grant funding from the Homes and Communities Agency to bring empty homes back into use to rent to local families and individuals.

The Council has a Private Sector Housing Renewal Policy that offers assistance to landlords and first time buyers who wish to bring a property that has been empty for longer than one year, back into use.
