A right of pre-emption shall be exercised within two months from the beneficiary having been informed of the owner’s intention to sell.
The parties may by agreement extend this period to one year. Where a period exceeding one year has been agreed, it shall be reduced to one year.
The beneficiary shall lose his right where he fails to exercise it within the aforementioned period. The owner may thereupon alienate the property. He may also retain the ownership thereof.
