Adapting your home
This content applies to Scotland only.

Your home may not be suitable for you if you are elderly or disabled and can't get around the property or use all the facilities. You may be able to get adaptations done to solve this problem - grants are available to pay for these adaptations, depending on your circumstances. This section also looks at your options if it isn't possible to adapt your home satisfactorily.
Starting adaptations
This page looks at how you can work out what kind of adaptations you'd benefit from, how you can get help paying for adaptations and what you can do if it isn't possible to adapt your home.
Adaptations in council housing
Check what you need to do if you have a Scottish secure tenancy or short Scottish secure tenancy and you need to carry out adaptations to make your home more suitable for your needs.
Adaptations in private rented homes
If you rent from a private landlord, you need to ask their permission to make adaptations. But your landlord cannot refuse consent unreasonably.
Adaptations if you own your home
If you own your home, you may still need to get consent to carry out adaptations. This page looks at what you need to do.
