HOUSING ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1923 - SECT 5
Amendments of law as to acquisition of small dwellings.

5. The Small Dwellings Acquisition (Ireland) Acts, 1899 and 1919,
shall have effect subject to the following amendments:

(a)An advance under those Acts may be made to a person intending
to construct a house, and in such case the limitation in those
Acts requiring that the person to whom the advance is made must be
resident in the house, shall be construed as requiring that the
person should be a person intending to reside in the house when
constructed;

(b)the limit on the market value of houses in respect of which
advances may be made under those Acts shall be increased from eight
hundred to [fifteen thousand pounds];

(c)the statutory condition requiring the proprietor of a house in
respect of which an advance has been made to reside in the house,
shall have effect for a period of three years from the date when
the advance is made, or from the date on which the house is
completed, whichever is the later, but no longer, and compliance
with this condition may at any time be dispensed with by the
[district council];

(d)the market value of the ownership of any house in respect of
which an advance is to be made under those Acts shall be
ascertained by means of a valuation made on behalf of the [district
council];

(e)where an advance is made in respect of a house in course of
construction, the advance may be made by instalments from time to
time as the building of the house progresses, so that the total
advance does not at any time before the completion of the house
exceed [eighty per cent.] of the value of the work done up to
that time on the construction of the house, including the value of
the interest of the person to whom the advance is made in the
site thereof;

(f)a person shall not, by reason only of the fact that an advance
is made to him under those Acts, be disqualified from being elected
as or being a member of the [district council] by whom the advance
is made or any committee of such [district council];
