This Order brings into operation on 29th July 2002 the provisions of the Property (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 which deal with the enlargement of a leasehold estate subject to no or a nominal rent, and associated repeals. A new Article 35A of the Order is inserted by the Ground Rents Act (Northern Ireland) 2001 which comes into operation on the same date (The Ground Rents (2001) Act) (Commencement No. 1) Order (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002 No. 251 (C. 22)). As a result of this Commencement Order there are no remaining provisions of the Property (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 still to be commenced.

This third and final Commencement Order brings into operation the remaining provisions of the 1997 Order other than those already commenced or repealed by the Ground Rents Act (Northern Ireland) 2001.
