4.3 Term of Essential Repairs Advance to be Approved

Sub-section 17(3)(b) of the Defence Service Homes Act 1918 provides that all certificates of entitlement issued for advances shall specify the maximum term of the advance.  The term for Essential Repairs advances would normally be set as the remainder of the term of the current advance, although there is provision for extending the term if necessary under Sub-section 36(1)(b)(ii) of the Act.
