Our aim is to stabilise then reduce the volume of cases.
The number of open cases can be impacted by a range of factors such as the buoyancy of the property market.
We aim to dispatch the majority of new applications within a reliable and consistent time-frame. We will continue to complete registration of older open cases as quickly as possible.
Cases which cause financial or personal hardship may be expedited. Find out more about our expedite service.
