A grant and mortgage subsidy cannot be paid until an inspection establishes that the house has been completed satisfactorily and occupied. While the grant can be paid following certification of the completion and occupation of the house, payment of the first instalment of the subsidy does not arise until six months after the date of execution of the mortgage deed; the remaining five instalments will follow at six-monthly intervals. The inspection will be carried out as soon as possible.
