hi, I wonder if anyone has any advice or experience in being able to get a grant or loan for a roof replacement?

I’m a single, disable mum with a teenage daughter. I can’t work and ex has suddenly stopped paying maintenance and seemingly dropped off the planet, so I can’t get a loan. I own the house with a mortgage, so can’t get any help from the council, and unfortunately ex is still named on mortgage so remortgaging is out of the question.

Sorry for the long message. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thx

    Hey there @angie77 and welcome to the community.

    Sounds like you could use some legal advice regarding the mortgage, which unfortunately we cannot provide, but I'd recommend speaking to the mortgage company to see if you can get the name changed.

    With regard to grants or loans, I've found a bit of information here, specifically the HIAs and energy efficiency home improvements may be of use to you. 😊
