In this section and sections 105 and 106 “residential property loan” means any loan which—
is secured on land in the United Kingdom; and
is made to an individual in respect of the acquisition of land which is for his residential use or the residential use of a dependant of his.
No person (“the lender") shall provide a residential property loan together with one or more controlled services to another person (“the borrower") unless the conditions mentioned in subsection (3) are complied with before a relevant step is taken with respect to any of those services or the loan.
The conditions are that the lender—
informs the borrower by notice that the residential property loan, and each of the controlled services in question, are separate services;
informs the borrower by notice whether the terms and conditions of the residential property loan will be capable of being varied by the lender after it is made;
provides the borrower with a statement of—
the price which will be payable by the borrower for each of the controlled services if they are all provided in accordance with the terms proposed by the lender; and
the extent to which (if at all) the terms and conditions of the residential property loan would differ if it were to be provided by the lender without the controlled services in question being provided by the lender; and
informs the borrower by notice that, if the borrower declines to take from the lender any of the controlled services in question, the lender will not on that account refuse to provide the residential property loan.
A person who—
in the course of his business provides, or makes arrangements for the provision of, controlled services together with residential property loans; and
advertises or in any other manner promotes—
the provision of any controlled service or any residential property loan; or
the making by him of any such arrangements,
shall comply with such requirements as to the information to be given, or which may not be given, in any such advertisement or promotion as the Secretary of State may by regulations impose.
