I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the two reference numbers quoted by the Deputy refer to an application under section 49 — that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession — of the Registration of Title Act 1964 which was lodged on 28 March 2003 and an application for a transfer which was lodged on 28 April 2003. Dealing Numbers D2003SM002847M and D2003SM003474E refer.
I am further informed that the application for the registration of the transfer is dependent on the completion of the section 49 application. I understand that due to their complicated nature, applications under section 49, which require detailed examination of claims for registration as owners, can take some time to process. Accordingly it is not possible to estimate a completion date at this stage.
However, I can assure the Deputy that these applications are receiving attention in the Land Registry.
