# The Repairs Grants (Appropriate Percentage) Order (Northern Ireland) 1996, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order.)
Paragraph 4(2) of Schedule 3 to the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 specifies the “appropriate percentage”, which is relevant for determining the repairs grant or maximum amount thereof payable under Article 74 of that Order. Paragraph 4(2)(a) to (c) specifies the “appropriate percentage” in the following cases:—
(a) properties subject to the control of the Rent (Northern Ireland) Order 1978, 90%;
(b) where it appears to the Executive that the applicant would not without undue hardship be able to finance so much of the cost of the relevant works as is not met by the grant, 90%;
(c) where the net annual value of the house to which the application relates (other than a house in respect of which a district council has issued a regulated rent certificate under Article 9 of the Rent (Northern Ireland) Order 1978) is less than £60, 100%.
Paragraph 4(2)(d) (as originally enacted) specified 75% as the appropriate percentage for cases not falling within paragraph 4(2)(a) to (c). This Order substitutes a new sliding scale of percentages (75%, 50% and 25% to be determined by reference to the net annual value) for cases not falling within paragraph 4(2)(a) to (c).
