3(1)If a lease granted under section 104(1)(b) of this Act comes to an end in such circumstances as may be prescribed, the public sector landlord which was the lessee under the lease shall, at such time as may be prescribed, furnish to the Chief Land Registrar such statement as may be prescribed.
(2)In any case where—
(a)under section 104(1)(b) of this Act the applicant has granted a lease of a flat (in this sub-paragraph referred to as “the landlord’s lease”), and
(b)under Part V of the [1985 c. 68.] Housing Act 1985 (the right to buy) a lease of the flat (in this sub-paragraph referred to as “the right to buy lease”) has been granted to a qualifying tenant, and
(c)by virtue of requirements prescribed under section 104(2) of this Act and related to the grant of the right to buy lease, the landlord’s lease comes to an end,
then, notwithstanding anything in section 64 of the Land Registration Act 1925 (production of land certificate), notice of the grant of the right to buy lease may be entered in the register without production of the applicant’s land certificate, but without prejudice to the power of the Chief Land Registrar to compel production of the certificate.
