Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 4: Reducing Regulation of Social Housing Etc Section 94: Recovery of social housing assistance: successors in title
Sections 32 to 34 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 enable the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to recover financial assistance given for the purpose of providing social housing from recipients and their successors in title. This section amends section 33 to remove the HCA’s ability to recover this assistance in circumstances where the social housing provided as a result of the assistance is disposed of outside the regulated sector in consequence of either a lender enforcing its security or the winding up or administration (including a housing administration under Chapter 5 of Part 4 of this Act) of the recipient or a successor in title.
