520			_aUsing recent case "Bircham & Co Nominees (No 2) Ltd and Sarah Stowell v Worrell Holdings Ltd", warns landlords of losing their rights of pre-emption. A landlord thought he was accepting an offer-back, but lost his rights on a technicality, concerning the date of acceptance on an offer-back. Offer-backs are generally used so that a landlord can block the transfer of a lease to a tenants' chosen assignee. Suggests landlords remember that a conditional acceptance is not an acceptance at all.
