(2)Where a condition's inclusion in an offer to sell—
(a)is in contravention of a direction under subsection (1) or
(b)in a case where the tenant has not by the date specified in such a direction served a relative notice of acceptance on the landlord, would have been in such contravention had the offer to sell been served on or after that date,
