## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Housing (Right to Buy) (Service Charges) Order 1986 (“the principal Order”) which sets out the calculation for the inflation allowance to be added to a landlord’s estimate of the service charges payable by the tenant for repairs and major works in the initial period of a right to buy lease.
Article 2 of this Order amends the definition of “index figure” in article 2 of the principal Order. This is necessary because the relevant index is now published by the Building Cost Information Service of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) in the “BIS Output Price Index for Direct Labour: Public Housing Repairs and Maintenance” in the quarterly “BIS Output Price Indices”.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
