In general, where a person owns another property, which is not their primary residence, and the second property is leased or rented, a means assessment will be conducted using the capital value of the second property.

The property must be capable of being sold, let or put to profitable use before a capital value assessment is applied.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
