SCHEDULE 6 REASONABLENESS OF WITHHOLDING CONSENT ETC.

PART 3 CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MAY BE RELEVANT TO REASONABLENESS IN RELATION TO PARTICULAR TRANSACTIONS

Section 118: transfer to secure contract-holder in relation to a secure contract with a community landlord

14 (1) This paragraph applies if a contract-holder under a secure contract (“the transferor”) seeks to transfer the contract in accordance with section 118 to a person (“the transferee”) who is a contract-holder under another secure contract.

(2) If the transfer is to be part of a series of transactions it is reasonable to impose a condition that the transfer may take place only if the other transactions take place.

(3) If the transferee is a priority or reserve successor in relation to the secure contract under which he or she is a contract-holder before the transfer, it is reasonable to impose a condition requiring that the transferee is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as a successor of that kind in relation to the secure contract transferred to him or her by the transferor.
