(b)that a registered social landlord's viability is in jeopardy for financial or governance reasons or because it cannot provide housing services to an acceptable standard.

(5)A transfer of assets under a direction must be made on terms specified in, or determined in accordance with, the direction.
(6)Those terms must however—
(a)in the case of a transfer of some (but not all) of a registered social landlord's assets, set the price at not less than the amount which the Regulator, having obtained an independent valuation, considers the assets would fetch if sold by a willing seller to a willing registered social landlord, and
(b)in the case of a transfer of all of a registered social landlord's assets, provide for the settlement or transfer of all the transferor's proper debts and liabilities in respect of the assets (whether secured or not).
(7)The Regulator may direct the transfer of assets from a registered social landlord which is a charity only if the recipient registered social landlord is a charity which the Regulator, after consulting the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, considers has the same or similar charitable purposes (within the meaning of section 7(2) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (asp 10)).
(8)The Regulator may direct the transfer of assets which the registered social landlord is under a duty to apply in accordance with section 19(1) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (asp 10) only if the Regulator—

(b)after doing so, considers that the recipient registered social landlord will secure the proper application of those assets for the purposes which were set out in the transferor registered social landlord's entry in the Scottish Charity Register immediately before its removal from that register.
