option to buy Explanation: It's translated as "option" in Section 29 of the English version of lov om erverv av vannfall m.v. There's also this at the link below, on page 111, footnote 354: "En håndgivelse er å gi noen en rett til å kjøpe en tomt på bestemte betingelser, som f.eks. at byggingen starter innen et år osv. Dersom betingelsene ikke oppfylles er det vanlig at rettigheten til tomten faller tilbake til håndgiveren uten at det skal betales erstatning for eventuelle kostnader og investeringer gjort i tomten." I think it might be best as "option to buy", instead of just "option" as used in the translated act. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2013-07-09 16:37:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I should have mentioned that "option to buy" is commonly used here in the U.S. If it sounds too plebeian, you might think about "purchase option" or "option to purchase".
