Building Loans (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Regulations 1961[1]

THE STATES, in pursuance of Articles 4, 7 and 17 of the Building Loans (Jersey) Law 1950, have made the following Regulations –

Commencement [see endnotes]

1       

Save as the Minister may at his or her absolute discretion allow, no loan shall be made under these Regulations to any person unless he or she satisfies both the following conditions, namely –

(a)     in the case of a loan granted for a purpose specified in Article 3 of the Building Loans (Jersey) Law 1950 (referred to in these Regulations as the “Law”), he or she has –

(i)      Entitled Status, or

(ii)     Entitled for Work Only status by virtue of being the spouse of a person with Entitled status,

in accordance with the Control of Housing and Work (Residential and Employment Status) (Jersey) Regulations 2013;

(b)     he or she does not at the time of his or her application for the loan own land in Jersey other than, in the case of a loan for a purpose specified in Article 3(c), (e) or (f) of the Law, the land on which the loan is to be secured, and has not previously owned land in Jersey.[2]

2       

In determining the priority in which applications for loans shall be granted, the Minister shall have regard, in particular, to the financial stability of the applicants, and, where a loan is required for a purpose specified Article 3(a), (b), (c), (d) or (g) of the Law, to their age, whether or not they are married or in a civil partnership, the number of their dependant children, and the nature of their housing accommodation, and, where the loan is required for a purpose specified in Article 3(e) or (f), to the costs to be incurred in carrying out the works of conversion, reconstruction, alteration, enlargement, repair or improvement, as the case may be, as compared with the amount which in the opinion of the Minister would be the value of the property on which the loan would be secured after the works had been carried out.[3]

3       

Before lending money to a person for a purpose specified in Article 3(a), (b), (c), (d) or (g) of the Law, the Minister shall satisfy himself or herself that the income for income tax purposes of that person which arose in the year immediately preceding the date of the final approval of the application for the loan or, where the Minister so determines, that the estimated income for income tax purposes of that person for the year during which the application is so approved, is not less than 3, and not more than 5 times the total of the instalments which would be payable, if the loan were made, towards the repayment in the course of any year of the principal of the loan and interest thereon.[4]

4       

A loan may be made for a purpose specified in Article 3(e) or (f) of the Law notwithstanding that rentes anciennes are charged on the property on which the loan is to be secured, and, in such a case, the value of the property for the purposes of Article 8 of the Law shall be reduced by the capital value of the rentes.

5       

A loan may be made to spouses jointly if the property on which the loan is to be secured is or will be owned by them for themselves and the survivor of them and the heirs of such survivor and if both spouses satisfy the conditions specified in Regulation 1.[5]

5A     [6]

A loan may be made to civil partners jointly if the property on which the loan is to be secured is or will be owned by them for themselves and the survivor of them and the heirs of such survivor and if both civil partners satisfy the conditions specified in Regulation 1.

6       

(1)     Subject to the provisions of these Regulations, a loan may be made in an amount not exceeding £120,000.[7]

(2)     Subject to paragraph (3), if an applicant for a loan, or the owner of any property on which a loan is secured, satisfies the Minister that the total of instalments payable in any year towards the repayment of the principal of the loan and the interest thereon is more than one quarter of his or her income for income tax purposes which arose in the year preceding that year or, where the circumstances so required, which it is estimated will arise in that year, the Minister, subject to the provisions of paragraph (5), may reduce the rate of interest on the loan or the balance of the loan as the case may be, for the year in which those instalments are payable to such a rate, being a multiple of .25% and being not less than the relevant minimum rate described in paragraph (4) as will bring the total of those instalments, computed on the basis that such reduced rate of interest will be applicable for the remainder of the period within which the loan is to be repaid, to an amount as near as may be to, but not more than, one quarter of his or her income for income tax purposes.[8]

(3)     In its application to a loan or an application for a loan made on or after 1st January 1991, paragraph (2) shall have effect as if for the words “one quarter of his or her income”, there were substituted the words “one third of his or her income”.[9]

(4)     In paragraph (2), the “relevant minimum rate” means –

(a)     3% –

(i)      in the case of a loan made before 1st January 1995 or pursuant to a letter of offer of a loan issued by the Housing Committee before that date, and

(ii)      in the case of a loan made on or after 1st January 1995 secured on a house which is a lot, or on shares in a company which confer an exclusive right to occupy a company-owned dwelling which is a self-contained part of a building; and

(b)     5% in any other case.[10]

(5)     Where –

(a)     the rate of interest on a loan or the balance of a loan has been reduced in pursuance of paragraph (2); and

(b)     the basis of the estimate of income giving rise to the reduction of interest is subsequently shown to have been incorrect,

the Minister may recover from the person in receipt of the loan the difference between the total of instalments that the person should have paid and the amount that the person actually paid during the year in question.[11]

(6)     Subject to paragraph (9), paragraph (7) shall apply where –

(a)     the rate of interest on a loan or the balance of a loan has been reduced in pursuance of paragraph (2); and

(b)     the principal of the loan is repaid in full (whether by one or more instalments) before the date on which it would have been repayable under the terms of the loan.[12]

(7)     Subject to paragraph (8), the person to whom the loan was granted shall, not later than the day on which the next repayment of principal or interest on the loan would have been payable but for the repayment of the loan, pay to the Fund –

(a)     if the loan was made before 14th October 1992, a sum equal to the difference between the amount actually paid in interest on the loan up to the date of repayment and the amount which would have been payable in interest up to the date of repayment, but for the reduction of the rate of interest on the loan; or

(b)     if the loan was made on or after 14th October 1992, a sum equal to the difference between the amount actually paid in interest on the loan up to the date of repayment and the amount which would have been payable in interest up to the date of repayment if the rate of interest applicable to the loan from time to time had been the same as the rate of interest charged to borrowers by the Midland Bank PLC under the variable rate arrangements within its House Mortgage Loan Scheme.[13]

(8)     The Minister may, in any case and in his or her absolute discretion, waive or reduce any sum payable by virtue of paragraph (7).[14]

(9)     Paragraph (6) shall not apply in relation to a reduction in the rate of interest on a loan having effect before 1st January 1968.[15]

7 [16]   

(1)     A contract of creation of a simple conventional hypothec to secure a loan shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1.

(2)     A security agreement which makes provision for a security interest to secure a loan under these Regulations shall be substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2.[17]

8 [18]   

(1)     If the Minister is satisfied that the income for income tax purposes of a person to whom a loan is made which arose in the year immediately preceding the grant of the loan is not more than £1,200 the costs incurred in connection with the passing of the contract of creation of a simple conventional hypothec to secure the loan shall be paid out of the Fund.[19]

(2)     If the Minister is satisfied that the income for income tax purposes of a person to whom a loan is made which arose in the year immediately preceding the grant of the loan is more than £1,500 but not more than £1,800 one half of the costs incurred in connection with the passing of the contract of creation of a simple conventional hypothec to secure the loan shall be paid out of the Fund.[20]

9       

For the purposes of these Regulations, a certificate of the Comptroller of Revenue as to the amount of the income for income tax purposes of any person arising in any year may be accepted by the Minister without further enquiry.[21]

10     

These Regulations may be cited as the Building Loans (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Regulations 1961.
