Regulation 10 Enforcement of remedial costs

Any remedial costs payable under regulations 8(3) or 9(6) are, until recovered, deemed to be charged on and payable out of the estate of the landlord in the land in relation to which the remedial costs were incurred and the estate in that land or any person deriving title from the landlord.

A charge created by paragraph (1) is enforceable in all respects as if it were a valid mortgage, by deed created in favour of the council, by the person in whose estate the charge has been created (with, where necessary, any authorisation or consent required by law) and the council may exercise the powers conferred by sections 19, 21 and 22 of the Conveyancing Act 1881^f1 on mortgagees by deed accordingly.

An application for registration of a charge created by paragraph (1) requires to be made by the council within 2 months from the date when the remedial costs become payable under regulations 8(3) and 9(6).
