This expedited route operates only where the passport has been granted to that lender concerned. The current DTTP scheme applies to loans entered into (or transferred) on or after 6 April 2017, and the terms, conditions and guidance for the present DTTP scheme were updated in October 2023.

In that situation, practical completion is treated as achieved for the relevant part. See Practice...
