Specifically for .UK domains:

Verifying expiration date	This status means that our system is temporarily unable to retrieve the expiration date of the domain from WHOIS automatically. Normally, this status gets updated within 1-2 hours.
Change the IPS Tag to ENOM with your current registrar	This status means that an IPS tag is yet to be updated for the .UK domain. If it is not changed to ENOM within the next 7 days after transfer initiation, the transfer will automatically fail.
