Ms Catherine Comer:

Regarding obligations for viewings, it is something we can look at it but it might be beyond the scope of this. If a tenant is not necessarily in a position where they intend to buy their home or want to buy the house, it serves their own best interests to be amenable to viewings, etc. because it might be another landlord buying it. However, I take the Deputy's point on that.

On the first home scheme, tenants in situand cost rental, this right goes to the tenant first but the tenant can then approach the local authority. It works in tandem and obviously, our colleagues in the Department on that side of the house are very aware that this is coming. I know they are prioritising cases that have a notice of termination on the basis of sale for those schemes, and making sure things like that are moving very quickly. We are working on that. It is separate to this legislation but our colleagues are very aware, on that side of it.
