No application may be made to the appropriate tribunal under subsection (1) above to determine the price for a house and premises unless either—

the landlord has informed the tenant of the price he is asking; or

two months have elapsed without his doing so since the tenant gave notice of his desire to have the freehold under this Part of this Act.

Notwithstanding section 20(2) or (3) above, the appropriate tribunal shall have jurisdiction, either by agreement or in a case where an application is made to a tribunal under subsection (1) above with reference to the same transaction,—

to determine what provisions ought to be contained in a conveyance in accordance with section 10 or 29(1) of this Act, or in a lease granting a new tenancy under section 14; or

to apportion between the house and premises (or part of them) and other property the rent payable under any tenancy; or

to determine the amount of a sub-tenant's share under Schedule 2 to this Act in compensation payable to a tenant under section 17 or 18.

For the purposes of this Part of this Act a matter is to be treated as determined by (or on appeal from) the appropriate tribunal—

if the decision on the matter is not appealed against, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal; or

if that decision is appealed against, at the time when the appeal is disposed of.

An appeal is disposed of—

if it is determined and the period for bringing any further appeal has ended; or

if it is abandoned or otherwise ceases to have effect.
