Dear Land Registry,
I have been trying to obtain a fair a just investigation from Land
Registry, since October 2008, I have followed very carefully Land
Registry's own Complaints procedure since the beginning of my
Original complaint to Land Registry,Durham.without a great deal of
success, my dealings with the Senior Complaints Reviewer was
friendly and very courteous but I was totally dismayed and
disappointed when she closed her investigation into my allegations
of misadministration , rather quickly, she did recommend that I be
awarded £300 for avoidable upset and Inconvenience, this sum of
money I have returned, I can not accept this payment, because the
Property I Purchased has not been returned to me or the problems of
ownership resolved.
I have no hesitation in Stating that Land Registry's claim that
Registration and Recording of Land and Property provides owners
better protection against claims of Adverse Possesion and offers
them more certainty and security about what they own? is a total
nonsense.
Under the Freedom of Information Act. I wish to Request answers or
an explanation to the following questions.
Will you please Confirm or Deny.
(a) It is my Understanding that there is NO Legal requirement on
Land Registry to check the validity of Information and
documentation submitted, nor NO Legal Remit to Decide who the Legal
Owner of the Property is,Land Registry's ONLY Legal obligation is
to Record and Register Legally Purchased Property.
(b) How then can Land Registry,Durham.claim to have NOT Correctly
Registered and Recorded all the Property Details ,which was NOT
shown on a Original Land Title Deed, when Purchased in 1972.from
Hartlepool Borough Council. Clearly any Documents or Copies now
produced can only show the same identical property details
Registered and Recorded as shown on the Original 1972. Land Title
Deeds.
(c )How can Land Registry,Durham, claim to have Failed to Register
and Record Correctly all Property Details which were NOT shown on
my Original Land Title Deeds, CE74844, when purchased in 1984, from
Hartlepool Borough Council.
(d)I received the following letter from Land Registry, dated 19th
February 2009.
In English Law the same area of Freehold Land cannot be
simultaneously be in the ownership of Two separate parties.and it
further states that if in the Site inspection of my Property, had
the Surveyor (Land Registry )
looked inside the Outhouses he would have seen that there is an
Internal Wall separates the second Outhouse ( there are in fact Two
Internal Walls )that are CORRECTLY and Properly in my Land Title
Deeds CE74844, which is Registered and Recorded on my Original Land
Title Deeds, I am the Sole owner, since my purchase of this
property from Hartlepool Borough Council in 1984.
(e)By who's or What LEGAL Authority can Land Registry,Durham,REMOVE
this piece of my Legal Registered and Recorded Property ( which now
Physically supports my neighbours kitchen roof Extension ) and
attach and include into my neighbours Land Title Deeds DU37533, I
still claim that to attach this additional property to be added to
DU 37533 is Fraud, and I have informed Land Registry before,
without any response.
(f) Do I still own the Outbuildings clearly defined on my Original
Land Title Deeds CE74844, purchased and paid for in full,from
Hartlepool Borough Council in 1984, and duly Registered and
Recorded with Land Registery, Durham. or NOT.?
Yours Faithfully,
Alan Harvey Flounders

Dear Sondh, Gurmale,
I am writing to request an internal review of Land Registry's
handling of my F.O.I. requests.
The F.O.I. agent refuses to answer any of my questions, to claim
that they had already been investigated by the Complaints Reviewer
is incorrect, she claimed they were not in her Remit.
Yours sincerely,
alan harvey flounders

Dear Mr Flounders
I refer to your email requesting an internal review from the decision
given to you by Gurmale Sondh, Freedom of Information office by his email
of 8 March.
I have now concluded that review and I confirm the decision to refuse your
request. That request does no more than repeat request you originally
made, which prompted a full investigation of your complaint and the issues
it raised. The internal complaints procedure was eventually exhausted,
and you then asked the Independent Complaints Reviewer to HM Land Registry
to review your complaint. This review has also now been concluded. This
draws a line under the complaint and the issues it raised and there is
nothing further that Land Registry can say or do about the matter, in the
absence of fresh evidence.
Your letter, whilst addressed to the Freedom of Information Officer, does
not contain a request for information that has not already been addressed
and a full reply given by Land Registry.
I confirm that the Internal Review procedure has now been concluded.
Details of the Information Commissioner's Office were supplied with Mr
Sondh's letter of 8 March, if you believe you have the right in this case
to take this matter there.
Yours sincerely
Mike Westcott Rudd
