Part 4 of the 2009 Act provides for tenant purchase, along incremental purchase lines, of apartments in designated existing local authority complexes. Preparatory work is underway and I expect to make the necessary statutory instrument early in 2011 to enable the apartments sales scheme to be brought into operation as quickly as possible thereafter.

Once the Regulations have been made detailed guidance material will issue to housing authorities setting out all of the operational and legal aspects of the scheme.
