How long for the DVLA?
Discussion
I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I live in a flat where the managing agents are proving themselves to be spectacularly ineffective.
The development of flats is fairly small (less than 30 premises), but has a gated car park with approximately 33 spaces. For a number of years now, an abandoned car has been left in the far corner of the car park.
We (as in the management company of the flats) have been complaining about the car for a couple of years now. We've been strung along by the managing agent who have said a dozen different things about how they need to proceed - but there's obviously been issues within the agent as the two partners are now going their separate ways, and fortunately it's the better of the two guys that is keeping the property management side of the business. At a meeting at the end of March, he claimed all he had to do was show proof of reasonable effort to locate the owner (which is unlikely to be successful), and when that inevitably failed, he would have legal authority to remove the car. The request forms, apparently, were being filled in and posted that very afternoon in late March.
So my question is, how long would it normally take for the DVLA to reply to such queries? I've never dealt with them for anything non-routine, so have no idea how many days/weeks/months they tend to take to respond to such enquiries, and as such how much leeway I should allow the managing agent.
Thanks in advance.
