If a member of the public reports that a property is not registered - one can check whether a property is registered on the RTB register - and files a complaint, there is no reference number and he or she cannot check whether the matter is being following up or whether the property is registered. People have to go through the whole process all over again. Likewise, when I wrote to the RTB it replied that it would not come back to me about any of the cases but would follow up. I have no evidence to show how many of those houses or residential units will be registered in three months' time unless I physically audit each one of them again.
