I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is in application under section 49, that is, acquisition of title by virtue of long possession, under the Registration of Title Act 1964, which was lodged on 15 April 2005. Dealing number D2005WS004987A refers.

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 this application is receiving attention in the Land Registry and will be completed as soon as possible.
