Once the property has been declared surplus to requirements, it will be offered back to the previous owner or their successor at current market value in accordance with the Crichel Down Rules. If the previous owner or their successor declines the offer, the property will be advertised on the open market giving members of the public an opportunity to submit an offer should they wish to do so.

Answer
The Energy Assistance Package (EAP) is a holistic approach to tackling fuel poverty that addresses both the home and householder and includes services to maximise income, reduce fuel bills and improve energy efficiency. Stage 4 of the package offers a menu of enhanced physical measures to groups most likely to be fuel poor including central heating.
In 2008-09 the managing agent reduced the average waiting time from application to installation on the central heating programme, from six months to five months, with particular priority given to those households who have waited longest. The Scottish Government continues to press the to do all it can to ensure waiting times are kept to a minimum on the EAP.
