The Communities and Local Government department yesterday published its ‘right to transfer’ regulations, which will come before parliament in the autumn. The regulations will bring into force section 34a of the Housing Act 1985, which forces councils to co-operate with tenants’ stock transfer requests. The new right lets social tenants who want to see their homes owned, managed and maintained by a housing association rather than a council request for a change of ownership, with councils required to consider the merits of every request. As part of the deal, housing associations will need to clearly show how it will offer value for money for taxpayers, as well as how it will lead to the building of new affordable homes and the improvement of existing stock.
