With all due respect, I am not from the most urban constituency in the country but from the most rural one. However, sometimes one third or up to 50% of houses are owned by landlords. Straightaway, there is a problem in trying to get documentation and deeds from them. Sadly, in my constituency, as in many parts of the country, a lot of people are in huge financial difficulty with banks and are trying to make mortgage repayments to them. They are trying to avoid being terrorised by the banks and the last thing they want to do is to go into banks to get copies of their deeds to prove to the local authority that they own their houses.
