(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the Housing Act 1985 (“1985 Act”) and the Land Transaction and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Act 2017 (“2017 Act”) in consequence of the Abolition of the Right to Buy and Associated Rights (Wales) Act 2018.
The Regulations make saving provisions to ensure that relevant provisions within the 1985 Act will continue to apply in respect of applications made to exercise the right to buy or the right to acquire in respect of dwelling-houses in Wales on or before 25 January 2019 and in respect of dwelling-houses which have been purchased under the right to buy or the right to acquire on or before that date (or after that date in pursuance of a notice served before that date).
The Regulations also make saving provisions to ensure that relevant reliefs within Schedule 15 to the 2017 Act will also apply in respect of transactions arising from applications made to exercise certain rights to buy and rent to mortgage submitted on or before 25 January 2019.
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this instrument.
