Background and Overview Part 6 – Grants for Improvement, Repairs Etc. Section 98: Age of buildings eligible for grant
150.This section amends section 240 of the 1987 Act with the effect that grant will normally only be paid in respect of houses provided 10 years or more prior to the date of an application for grant. There continues to be provision for grant to be paid in respect of newer housing, where the Scottish Ministers agree to a local authority’s request for permission to do so.
