If you're looking for resources to help with property maintenance, the Scottish Borders Council has a Scheme of Assistance designed to support homeowners and private sector tenants. This scheme offers free advice on maintenance and repairs, as well as help with organizing communal repairs.
Here's a quick summary of what you can expect:
| Resource / Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Free advice on repairs | Guidance on how to carry out repairs and maintenance to your property. |
| Organizing communal repairs | Assistance in organizing repairs if you live in a shared property setting. |
| Heating and energy efficiency advice | Advice from the Home Energy Adviser regarding improving energy efficiency in your home. |
| Adaptation assistance | Help for those with mobility or health issues in adapting their home for independent living. |
Keep in mind that property owners are responsible for financing their own repairs, as direct grant aid is no longer available for maintenance. For more detailed information or to access their services, you can visit the Scheme of Assistance page.
