Section 144: Exclusion of shared ownership leases

240.Section 144 corrects technical defects in the 1967 Act relating to shared ownership properties.  Such properties are exempt from the right to enfranchise under certain circumstances.  The section allows the existing exemption to apply in cases where property is or has been transferred from a local authority to a registered social landlord (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Housing Act 1996).   It also allows the exemption to apply in cases where a lease restricts a tenant's power to assign the lease.
