This Order specifies Money Partners Limited and Money Partners Finance Limited ("the Companies") as approved lending institutions for the purposes of section 156 of the Housing Act 1985 (priority of charges on disposals under the right to buy), in addition to the bodies already specified in that section or in previous orders under that section.
