FAQ
A right of first refusal (ROFR) is an option contract whereby the holder of the right has the future option to purchase property when the owner intends to sell it. The holder of the ROFR has the right to purchase the property prior to any other third party who seeks to purchase it.
A right of first refusal agreement allows a buyer and seller to enter into an arrangement by which the potential buyer is given the first crack at a property when it goes up for sale.
A right of first refusal agreement allows a buyer and seller to enter into an arrangement by which the potential buyer is given the first crack at a property when it goes up for sale.
A right of first refusal, different from a right of first offer, gives the right holder the option to match an offer already received by the seller. A right of first offer is said to favor the seller, while a right of first refusal favors the buyer.
Right of First Refusal to Lease is a lease clause that gives an existing tenant the first opportunity to lease additional space that is currently vacant or might become available to lease when another tenant vacates a space in the property.
Every RFR should be drafted as either an agreement or a contract (in which the holder gives some consideration, or pays for, the right). It may bind the current owner alone or run with the land. In either case, I would advise having it recorded.
The right of first refusal is usually triggered when a third party offers to buy or lease the property owner's asset. Before the property owner accepts this offer, the property holder (the person with the right of first refusal) must be allowed to buy or lease the asset under the same terms offered by the third party.
