I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this was an application for registration of a fee simple purchase under the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act, 1978. It was lodged in the Land Registry on 15th February 1985 and registration was completed, and the relevant solicitors notified accordingly on 7 October 1986.
The exceptional delay in finalising the registration was due to the fact that there was a legal complication which necessitated repeated correspondence with the solicitors.

I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration which was lodged in the Land Registry on 25 March 1986. There is a long delay in dealing with such applications in the registry party because of the usually complex legal issues involved and partly because of pressure of work generally.
The Deputy will, of course, appreciate that it would not be possible to give favourable treatment to any particular application except at the expense of other applications. I am informed, however, that the Land Registry gives priority to applications in respect of which it is brought to its attention that there are special grounds for urgency, such as bridging finance for example. Accordingly a request for expendition in this case will be considered if details of the reasons for urgency are submitted to the Land Registry.
