Structure of the Act Part 2 – Regulation of Social Housing Money Section 102 – Borrowing
203.This section specifies that the regulator may borrow by way of an overdraft or otherwise, for the short-term management of its finances; or from the Secretary of State. It may not borrow otherwise.
204.This broadly replicates the effect of section 92 of the Housing Associations Act 1985. Those powers will not be needed by the regulator as it will not be investing in affordable housing.
