Law Commission consultation on commercial leasehold: overcoming barriers to transactions

We invite consultees’ views, together with evidence where possible, as to what financial and other impacts our provisional proposals to amend the 1987 Act and/or the 1995 Act will have on:

1. commercial landlords, tenants and their advisers;
2. the commercial leasehold market;
3. residential landlords, tenants and their advisers; and
4. the residential leasehold market.

We invite consultees to tell us if they believe, or have evidence or data to suggest, that changes to either the 1987 Act or the 1995 Act that are being considered in this Consultation Paper could result in advantages or disadvantages to certain groups or to individuals based on certain characteristics (with particular attention to age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation).

We invite consultees to tell us about any particular considerations or experiences in Wales, which consultees think are relevant to the potential reforms of the 1987 Act and 1995 Act set out in this Consultation Paper.

We invite consultees’ views on whether the issues considered in Chapters 2 to 5 are, in the context of the 1987 Act and the 1995 Act, the issues most in need of being addressed by law reform from the perspective of commercial leasehold law.
