1. Provide a breakdown of these 96 rejections by year of application?

2. Advise how many similar Land Register rejections there have been since 1st January 2022 with a breakdown by year of application

Response

1. A breakdown of the June rejections are below.

June 2022

Of these 96 rejections, there have been 13 re-submissions under the same title number (13.5%). Of these 13 applications, 5 have been completed (5.2%).

For applications that have been with us for more than 3 months, these are reviewed by our senior registration officers to ensure that there is no other option but to reject the application. The main reason for rejections are:

• Withdrawn at agent’s request
• Not capable of being registered

The small number of cases that this does happen, we contact the customer to inform them. Once the issue has been resolved on re-submission, we arrange for the application to be expedited to ensure that their application is processed as quickly as possible.
