A purported disposal by a registered provider is void if—
it requires the regulator's consent under section 148, and
the regulator has not given consent.
But subsection (1) does not apply to a disposal by a non-profit registered provider to one or more individuals ("the buyer") if—
the disposal is of a single dwelling, and
the registered provider reasonably believes at the time of the disposal that the buyer intends to use the property as the buyer's principal residence.
