Housing (Right to Buy) (Priority of Charges) Order 1987
Under the Housing Act 1985 (“the 1985 Act”) liability to repay discount following the exercise of the right to buy is secured by a charge on the dwelling-house. Such charges do not have priority over certain charges securing advances by bodies falling within section 156(4) of the 1985 Act. Certain bodies are listed in section 156(4), and additional bodies are specified by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Priority of Charges) Order 1984 (S.I. 1984/1554) and the Housing (Right to Buy) (Priority of Charges) Order 1985 (S.I. 1985/1979) which are retained in force by section 2 of the Housing (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985 (c. 71).
