Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to the Answer of 15 June 2023 to Question 188909 on Land Registry: Applications, what the average time was for an HM Land Registry Application Enquiry that did not involve a first time registration to be processed in the latest period for which data is available.

HM Land Registry (HMLR) publishes information about its average processing times for each category of application type on GOV.UK here. The information is updated monthly and reflects the average experience based on the previous month's activity.

Applications to register new titles that are created by a transfer or lease of land that is not already registered would be included in the category of applications to register land for the first time.
