8Power of registered housing associations to dispose of land

(1)Without prejudice to the provisions of Part V of the [1985 c. 68.] Housing Act 1985 (the right to buy), every registered housing association has power, subject to section 9 (control by Housing Corporation of land transactions), by virtue of this section but not otherwise, to dispose, in such manner as it thinks fit, of land held by it.
