A quick definition of grant to uses:

Grant to Uses: A way of giving someone else the benefits of owning a piece of land without actually giving them legal ownership. For example, if A gave land to B for the benefit of C, B would legally own the land but C would get all the benefits like rent and profits. This was a popular way of giving land in the past because it allowed people to avoid paying feudal payments.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Grant to uses is a historical legal term that refers to the conveyance of legal title to real property from one person to another for the benefit of a third person.

For example, if A conveyed land to B and his heirs to the use of C and his heirs, B would become the legal owner of the land, but C would be considered the equitable owner of the land. This means that C would be entitled to the land's rents, profits, and benefits, even though B had possession of the land.

The grant to uses was a popular mode of conveyance from the 13th century onwards. It allowed landowners to avoid feudal payments and transfer property to others without losing control over it.

Example: John owns a piece of land that he wants to give to his son, but he also wants his daughter to benefit from it. He conveys the land to his son to the use of his daughter. This means that John's son will have legal ownership of the land, but John's daughter will be entitled to its benefits.

Explanation: In this example, John is using the grant to uses to transfer legal ownership of the land to his son while ensuring that his daughter benefits from it. His son will have possession of the land, but his daughter will be entitled to its rents, profits, and benefits.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
