People who own a bungalow, terraced house, semi-detached house or detached house will be ineligible for the grant after the same date. All grant claims related to installations at privately-owned properties such as these will need to be submitted by 30th April 2022.

A template to create the letter can be found in the ‘Documents required’ section of the government website page about the EVHS.
