The provision
The right of legal pre-emption or redemption shall not be exercised except within thirty days from the notice in writing by the prospective vendor, or by the vendor, as the case may be. The deed of sale shall not be recorded in the Registry of Property, unless accompanied by an affidavit of the vendor that he has given written notice thereof to all possible redemptioners. The right of redemption of co-owners excludes that of adjoining owners. (1524a)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
The right of legal pre-emption or redemption must be exercised within thirty days from the seller's written notice. A deed of sale cannot be recorded in the Registry of Property unless it is accompanied by the seller's affidavit that written notice was given to all possible redemptioners. Co-owners' redemption right takes priority over that of adjoining owners.
