I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that this is an application for first registration which was lodged on 14 March 2005 — dealing No. D2005XS007295Y refers. I am further informed that queries issued to the lodging solicitor on 12 May 2005 and that the application cannot proceed until these queries have been satisfactorily resolved.

Due to the complicated nature of this type of case, which requires examination of an applicant's entitlement to the property concerned, it is not possible to estimate a date of completion at this time. However, I assure the Deputy that on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the matter will receive further attention in the Land Registry.
