(3)A person shall not be entitled to compensation under this section in respect of a forced sale unless he has given to [F4the person potentially liable] not less than ten days’ notice of the intended sale, and has, before the sale, afforded to [F4the person to whom the notice was given, or any person designated for the purpose by him,] reasonable facilities to inspect the property intended to be sold, in so far as he was in a position to afford such facilities.
