Proposed Policy For Guernsey's Open Market Inscriptions

Policy and guidance for Guernsey's Open Market Housing Register (Register) will be seen in this coming year when new proposals from the Committee for the Environment & Infrastructure (E&I) are debated by the States of Guernsey.

Background

Under the Open Market Housing Register (Guernsey) Law, 2016, E&I has the power to inscribe properties on the Register. However there was a lack of a policy setting out the circumstances in which an application for a new inscription should be granted and the cost payable associated with the application.

So, what is proposed?

1. New inscriptions on Part A

A new mechanism for Inscriptions in Principle (IIP), will allow properties to secure a conditional new inscription on Part A of the Register.
