Yes, but that does not apply to the AHB or the local authority. They can make a bid for sure, but at any stage in the process landlord could accept a lower bid for a cash sale, for example, or for any other reason. There is nothing to oblige them to accept the higher bid from the local authority or the AHB. Is that correct? I am not saying that is good or bad; I just want to be clear on the import of the legislation.
