Alienation and Pre-emption rights in the lease???

JK4158

Hi there are below clauses in our lease (we are currently in the process of buying a converted flat in a victorian house, we will also own a share of the freehold with three other flats in a form of a management company). We asked our solicitor about it but the solicitor refuses to give a direct answer whether this is a standard term or unusal or if there are any specific legal risks (it’s been difficult to get anything yes or no from them..but always a lawyerly response that sounds strangely neutral…)

“Sell or sublet the property, in accordance with the terms outlined in the lease. (Alienation)

​Agree to sell your property to another individual or company, without first offering the landlord or freeholder the chance to purchase your leasehold property. (Right of Pre-emption)”

Are these standard terms under a lease? I cannot understand why I would need to offer the freeholders the right to buy the property? Is this an acceptable risk to take since I will also have a share of freehold?

Thank you for any insights!

Unusual, though it would help if you quoted the clause(s) in full +confirm it is the lease itself.
"in accordance with the terms outlined in the lease." suggests this is not the lease.

Is it actually the Lease you're quoting from? Those look like snippets from something else. Definitions of typical lease terms or a report of some sort.
