Moving into a property with a Green Deal
If you move into a property with a Green Deal, the landlord or seller must show you a copy of the Energy Performance Certificate - this will explain what improvements have been made and how much you’ll need to repay.
The person who pays the electricity bill pays the money back - so if you’re a tenant in a rented property, you’ll be paying back the costs, not the landlord. This is because the tenant can expect to benefit from lower energy costs.
You can change electricity supplier, but only if the new supplier is participating in the Green Deal.

There was discussion on Radio today about this scheme that has just started. If you want to make your home more energy efficient on this scheme you initially pay £150 upfront for an assessment. If you sign up to pay back the money borrowed over twenty five years plus interest and decide to pay the loan off earlier, you will also have to pay twenty five years interest.
I would not touch it with a bargepole.
