Whilst the Notice is in force Westlea Housing Association Limited will not be under an obligation to make such a grant as is mentioned in Section 138(1) of the Housing Act 1985 in respect of any claim to exercise the right to buy in respect of any of the Relevant Premises.
This Notice does not prevent the making of a claim under the right to buy or the taking of any steps under this part in connection with any such claim up to the point where section 138(1) would otherwise operate in relation to the claim or the operation of that provision in most circumstances where the notice ceases to be in force. However, if we subsequently serve a final demolition notice in respect of the Relevant Premises, the right to buy will not arise in respect of it while that notice is in force and any existing claim will cease to be effective.
