What deadlines must be paid attention to?
The right of first refusal can only be exercised against the seller within 3 months of notification of the purchase contract.
How long does it take to process
A processing period is not directly regulated. However, the deadline for exercising the right of first refusal means that the municipality must act immediately.
What are the costs?
The buyer and/or seller will incur costs if they apply to the municipality for a declaration that they waive their right of first refusal.
The determination of the costs and their amount is based on the municipal tax laws of the federal states in conjunction with the administrative fee statutes of the municipality.
