The Housing (Preservation of Right to Buy) Regulations 1993

6.—(1) The rights of a qualifying person under this Part in relation to the qualifying dwelling-house—

(a)shall be treated as interests to which sections 20 and 23 of the Land Registration Act 1925[1925 c. 21.] apply (under which the transferee or grantee under a registered disposition takes free from estates and interests which are not protected on the register and are not overriding interests), and

(b)shall not be treated as overriding interests for the purposes of that Act, notwithstanding that the qualifying person is in actual occupation of the land.

(2) Where by virtue of paragraph 5(4) the rights of a qualifying person under this Part in relation to the qualifying dwelling-house are registrable under the Land Charges Act 1972[1972 c. 61.] in the same way as an estate contract, section 4(6) of that Act (under which such a contract may be void against a purchaser unless registered) applies accordingly, with the substitution for the reference to the contract being void of a reference to the right to buy ceasing to be preserved.
