  "short_title": "Residential Property Tribunal (Right to Buy Determinations) Procedure 2005",
  "long_title": "These Regulations, which apply to England only, regulate the procedure to be followed for applications made to a residential property tribunal under paragraph 11(4) of Schedule 5 (“Schedule 5”) to the Housing Act 1985 (“the Act”). That Schedule sets out exceptions to secure tenants' right to buy their home under Part 5 of the Act. The exception in paragraph 11 of Schedule 5 concerns properties particularly suitable for occupation by elderly persons. An application under paragraph 11 of Schedule 5 is the means by which a secure tenant may question the landlord’s decision that the exception in that paragraph applies to his claim to exercise the right to buy. An application must be made before the end of the period of 56 days beginning with the service of the landlord’s notice under section 124 of the Act.",
