(1)An applicant may give the local authority landlord notice of acceptance of an offer to sell within 2 months of the latest of—
(a)the date on which the offer to sell was made,
(b)the date on which an amended offer to sell (or, if there is more than one, the latest amended offer to sell) was made,
(c)the date of a determination by the Lands Tribunal under section 131(8) which does not require the local authority landlord to make an amended offer to sell.
(2)If a notice of acceptance is not given within the period required by subsection (1) (or within that period as extended under section 136), both the offer to sell and the related application made under section 128 lapse.
(3)A notice of acceptance is of no effect unless the qualifying tenant and the applicant have concluded a lease of the house for a period immediately subsequent to the acquisition of the house (being a lease which is conditional upon that acquisition proceeding).
(4)Giving a notice of acceptance constitutes a contract of sale of the house between the local authority landlord and the applicant on the terms contained in the offer (or amended offer) to sell.
