Right of first refusal and pre-emption

Right of first refusal gives priority to acquire an asset at the same price as a third party before the sale closes. Pre-emption operates ex post: allows stepping into the buyer's position after the sale (within 9 days of registration). Legal (LAU, bordering rural neighbours) and contractual types exist.

Arts. 1521-1525 CC / Art. 25 LAU
