1
The Welsh Ministers may . . . enter into an agreement with—
a
a building society lending on the security of a house, or
b
a recognised body making a relevant advance on the security of a house,
whereby, in the event of default by the mortgagor, and in circumstances and subject to conditions specified in the agreement, the Welsh Ministers bind themselves to indemnify the society or body in respect of the whole or part of the mortgagor’s outstanding indebtedness and any loss or expense falling on the society or body in consequence of the mortgagor’s default.
2
The agreement may also, if the mortgagor is made party to it, enable or require the Welsh Ministers in specified circumstances to take a transfer of the mortgage and assume rights and liabilities under it, the building society or recognised body being then discharged in respect of them.
3
The transfer may be made to take effect—
a
on terms provided for by the agreement (including terms involving substitution of a new mortgage agreement or modification of the existing one), and
b
so that the Welsh Ministers are treated as acquiring (for and in relation to the purposes of the mortgage) the benefit and burden of all preceding acts, omissions and events.
