Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe Welsh versions of the forms of notice for use in connection with the right to buy under sections 122(1) and 124(1) of the Housing Act 1985 (regulations 2 and 3) and the particulars to be contained in them (regulation 4). The forms are-

(a)the form of notice to be used by a secure tenant to claim the right to buy (Form RTB 1); and

(b)the form of notice to be used by a landlord to accept or reject the tenant's claim (Form RTB 2).

The forms replace those prescribed by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Prescribed Forms) (Welsh Forms) (No. 3) Regulations 1985 which are revoked (regulation 5(1)1. A notice claiming the right to buy served by a secure tenant before 1st November 1988 is not invalidated by these Regulations if it is in the form required by the 1985 Regulations or in a substantially similar form (regulation 5(2)).
