Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what proportion of registrations for new leases or lease extensions take (a) less than 18 months and (b) over 24 months to be processed by HM Land Registry.

HM Land Registry (HMLR) publishes information about its average processing times on GOV.UK here.
