answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2021 answer text <p>We expect responsible entities (such as a management agency appointed by the building owner) to inform all leaseholders and residents if they apply for Government funding. Responsible entities also should provide regular updates to leaseholders and residents on the progress of their funding application and works.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing targeted enforcement measures for the compulsory inclusion of a Unique Property Reference Number for (a) gas safety certificates and (b) mortgage lenders; and what assessment he has made of the potential effect of introducing such measures on the ability of rogue landlords to be profiled.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2021 answer text <p>Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) hold significant value in allowing different data-sets associated with buildings to be linked together. My Department will seek to utilise this where possible, enabling all data users to have a well-rounded view on information that relates to each building</p><p><br> However, local authorities already have a range of tools available to them to take the most appropriate enforcement action including placing landlords on to the Database of Rogue Landlords and Property Agents where the landlord meets the criteria. Where a landlord has received a Banning order the local authority must place them on the database, where the landlord has received a conviction for a banning order offence or 2 or more civil penalties for housing related offences then the local authority has discretion to make an entry</p><p><br> For properties that require an annual gas safety check (under regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations), there is already a requirement to include details of the property address on the associated records. There are no plans to extend the requirements to include the UPRN on the safety check record and there has been no assessment of the potential merits of introducing targeted enforcement measures for the compulsory inclusion of a UPRN for gas safety certificates. At this time, we are not making an assessment of a connection between UPRNs and mortgages.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/02/2021 17:09:26 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether homes built under the £12 billionn Affordable Homes Programme that are made available as shared ownership properties will be required to be sold with a commitment to build a replacement affordable house of the same size.

uin	46647
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>Affordable housing grant allocated using government subsidy is recovered or recycled through the Recycled Capital Grant Fund (RGCF) to be spent on new affordable housing, if there is a disposal of the grant funded property or if the use of grant funded property is changed. RCGF rules apply to shared ownership homes when a provider receives staircasing sales receipts - when a shared owner increases their share or purchases their home outright. Providers have three years from the date of the receipt to invest in replacement properties. If they are unable to reinvest the funds during the three years they are required to return the funds to Homes England or the Greater London Authority.</p><p>Any profits from the sale, for example as a result of house price increases, are retained by the Housing Association. Typically profits (“surpluses”) can be recycled into investment into new affordable housing, or to other support Housing Association services (such as spend on community projects) as bound by their articles of association.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 18/05/2020 11:36:18 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
