In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case, I will let you know. A fees notice will be issued to you, and you will be required to pay before we will proceed to deal with your request.

Dear Mr Christodoulou

The department requires further information in order to identify and locate the information that you have asked for. I will not be able to take this matter further without extra information from you. It’s unlikely that we would hold information on the definition of property, other contained in dictionaries or statute. Property is a wide term (as the dictionary definition indicates) – are you looking at it in the context of land registration i.e. land or estates and interests in land that we register?

Once you have clarified your request, I will be able to begin to process your request. If I do not receive clarification within three months your request will be considered to have lapsed. (Under section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a public authority need not comply with a request unless any further information reasonably required to locate the information is supplied).

Yours sincerely

Roger Petty
