Housing Act 1969

1 (1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the amount of any payment made in respect of a house under section 30 or section 60 of this Act shall be an amount equal to the rateable value of the house multiplied by four or such other multiplier as the Minister may by order made by statutory instrument prescribe.

(2) The amount shall not in any case exceed the amount (if any) by which the full value of the house (that is to say the amount which would have been payable as compensation if it had been purchased compulsorily but not as being unfit for human habitation) exceeds the site value thereof (that is to say the amount which is payable as compensation by virtue of its being purchased compulsorily as being unfit for human habitation, or which would have been so payable if it had been so purchased); and any question as to such value shall be determined, in default of agreement, as if it had been a question of disputed compensation arising on such a purchase.

(3) Where a payment falls to be made in respect of any interest in the house under Part II of this Schedule or under Schedule 5 to the Housing Act 1969, no payment shall be made in respect of that house under this Part of this Schedule unless the other payment relates to part only of the house, and in that case such part only of the amount which Would otherwise be payable in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Part of this Schedule shall be payable as may reasonably be attributed to the remainder of the house.
