Revised house sale form
Ryan asked for a revised house-sale form reflecting the Ground Rents legislation. O'Leary said amended regulations prescribing compliant transfer forms had been made and laid before the House; the Chair then moved to the next question, which was answered in writing.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he will arrange the issue of a revised prescribed form for the sale of houses under section 90 of the Housing Act, 1966, arising out of the new Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act, 1978.
Comment on this
The Housing Authorities (Borrowing and Management) Regulations, 1974 (Amendment) Regulations, 1978, were made by me with the consent of the Minister for Finance on 15 September 1978 prescribing the forms of transfer order to be used by local authorities when selling their dwellings or disposing of the fee simple interest in houses already sold by them and were laid on the table of the House on 22 September last. The revised transfer orders comply with the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) Act, 1978 and the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act, 1978. Copies of the regulations were circulated to local authorities on 6 October 1978.
