# The Housing (Preservation of Right to Buy) (Amendment) Regulations 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Housing (Preservation of Right to Buy) Regulations 1989 modify Part V (the right to buy) of the Housing Act 1985 in cases where the tenant’s right to buy is preserved by section 171A of the 1985 Act following the landlord’s disposal of a dwelling-house occupied by that tenant. These Regulations make further modifications to Part V as it applies in those cases and amends the 1989 Regulations (except in the case mentioned in regulation 1(2)).
Regulation 2 makes modifications consequential on the commencement of paragraph 40 of Schedule 5 to the Housing and Planning Act 1986. Regulation 3 amends a list of landlords specified for the purpose of paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 to the 1985 Act. National Health Service trusts, the Countryside Council for Wales, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the National Rivers Authority, the Nature Conservancy Council for England and Scottish Natural Heritage are added to the list. The Countryside Commission for Scotland, the Highlands and Islands Development Board and the Nature Conservancy Council are omitted.
