HOUSING, ENGLAND AND WALES

Under the Housing Act 1980 (“the 1980 Act”) liability to repay discount following the exercise of the right to buy is secured by a charge on the dwelling-house. The charge has priority, in the circumstances set out in section 8(4)(b) and (4A) (inserted by section 5(4) of the Housing and Building Control Act 1984) of the 1980 Act, after certain legal charges, including charges securing amounts advanced by a body falling within section 8(5) of the 1980 Act. Certain bodies are listed in section 8(5), and additional bodies were specified by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Priority of Charges) Order 1984 (S.I. 1984/1554).
