881.Section 308 amends section 450C of the Housing Act 1985 to provide that in regulations made by the Secretary of State (or, in Wales, the Welsh Ministers) regarding loans by landlords to leaseholders to assist in payment of service charges, such loans may be on terms other than an interest bearing loan. The power under section 450C is extended to provide for charging for the services of the district valuer, since it may be appropriate to specify valuation of the flat by a district valuer in regulations. Fees charged by the district valuer are limited to recovery of expenses, and are governed by usual administrative law principles of reasonableness.
