On the other side, the Housing Authority will purchase itself the remaining portion not purchased by the applicants which should not be more than fifty percent of the property. After twenty (20) years, the applicants will be obliged to purchase the Housing Authority's share by paying the same price paid by the Authority Housing.

APS Bank plc, subject to all bank's criteria being satisfied, will be granting applicants a maximum loan up to €200,000 to purchase a property in finished and habitable state or in shell form state which can be rendered to a habitable state at the total expense of €250,000.

(c) Applications for the purchase of property exceeding the two hundred fifty thousand euro (€250,000) in value, will not be considered. The Housing Authority reserves the right to inspect the property to ascertain its value.

(h) The property, which is to be purchased by the applicant, should be built in accordance with building regulations and planning permits, be in a finished and habitable state, or in shell form as long as the purchase price and the amount of the necessary finishing do not exceed €250,000.

In cases where the Housing Authority feels that the residence that is about to be purchased is very expensive, it reserves the right to send an architect from the Housing Authority in order to make a valuation of the property. The Housing Authority reserves the right to refuse any application.

(h) Clause 16 to read as follows:

16. Duration of scheme

This Scheme shall remain in force for a period of one year from the date of its publication in the Government Gazette, and shall be automatically renewed for a further period of one year unless a notice to the contrary is published in the Government Gazette indicating that the scheme has been withdrawn.
