Answered by Rachel Maclean
The department does not hold the information in the format requested to answer question 201322, and it could only be provided at disproportionate cost. HMLR publishes information each month about its latest processing times on GOV.UK here
Applications to HM Land Registry (HMLR) are protected with priority from their date of receipt. Provided they contain the information required for registration, they are guaranteed to be processed. I refer the Hon Member to the answer I gave to Question UIN 187953 on 14 June 2023 for information about the steps HMLR is taking to improve its speed of service.

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment the Department has made of the potential merits of placing an obligation on superior landlords to not unreasonably refuse a request to keep a pet from a tenant through an immediate landlord.
Answered by Rachel Maclean
The Renters (Reform) Bill will ensure that private landlords cannot unreasonably refuse a request from their tenant to keep a pet. The Bill provides added flexibility where they need to obtain consent of a superior landlord when considering a request.
