(a)the minimum percentage discount,
(b)the percentage increase for each complete year of the qualifying period after the first two, or
(c)the maximum percentage discount,
shall be such percentage, higher than that specified in subsection (2), as may be specified in the order.
(2B)An order—
(a)may make different provision with respect to different cases or descriptions of case,
(b)may contain such incidental, supplementary or transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient, and
(c)shall be made by statutory instrument and shall not be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.”.
(2)The amendment made by subsection (1) does not apply where—
(a)the tenant’s notice claiming to exercise the right to buy or, as the case may be, to acquire an additional share under a shared ownership lease was served before the commencement of that subsection, and
(b)the landlord has before commencement served its notice as to the terms of exercise of that right, that is, its notice under section 125 of, or paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 8 to, the M2Housing Act 1985,
but without prejudice to the tenant’s right to withdraw the notice served before commencement and serve a new notice.
(3)In the following provisions (which in the case of disposals at a discount require a covenant for repayment of a proportion of the discount if the dwelling-house is disposed of within five years)—
section 35(2) of the Housing Act 1985 (voluntary disposals by local authorities),
section 155(2) of that Act (disposals in pursuance of the right to buy),
section 155(3) of that Act (disposals in pursuance of the right to be granted a shared ownership lease), and
paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 2 to the M3Housing Associations Act 1985 (voluntary disposals by registered housing associations),
for “five years” substitute “three years” and for “20 per cent.” substitute “one-third”.
(4)A conveyance or lease containing the covenant required by any of the provisions mentioned in subsection (3) which was executed before the amendments made by that subsection came into force shall, provided no amount was then or had previously been payable under the covenant, have effect with such modifications as may be necessary to bring it into conformity with the amendments.
