# The Housing (Right to Buy) (Prescribed Form: Right to a Mortgage) Regulations 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The right to buy is provided for in Part V of the Housing Act 1985 and secure tenants who have the right to buy can also claim a mortgage from their landlord. These Regulations prescribe the form of notice to be used by secure tenants when claiming the right to a mortgage (regulation 2). This form replaces that prescribed by the Housing (Right to Buy) (Prescribed Forms) Regulations 1980 which are revoked (regulation 3).
A notice claiming the right to a mortgage served before 17th December 1992 is not invalidated by these Regulations if it is in the form required by the 1980 Regulations (regulation 3).
