Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would make it easier to sell affordable homes directly to eligible buyers and allow private lenders to provide their mortgages. It would let housing and planning authorities place a charge on affordable homes or land, so they can recover money owed if the property is later sold, including where the authority did not provide the mortgage; this protects the public subsidy and discourages resale profits.
