Conveyancing Protocols are Changing

Electronic Settlements are becoming a reality in Queensland, with the roll out of PEXA (Property Exchange Australia Limited) for conveyancing across Australian states.

What is PEXA?

PEXA is Australia’s online property exchange network. PEXA enables lawyers, conveyancers and financial institutions to lodge documents with Land Registries and complete conveyancing and financial settlements electronically.

The states of Queensland, NSW, Victoria, and WA, the four major banks and ex Toll Holdings chair Paul Little own PEXA, with Macquarie Group being PEXA’s biggest shareholder, with a 25 per cent stake in the company. $40 million was raised by the property hub in two capital raisings in 2017.

The aim is to have the property industry move to a completely digital conveyancing process in the future, with transactions now able to be completed on PEXA in Queensland, Victoria, NSW, Western Australia and South Australia.

In conveyancing, lawyers and conveyancers can use PEXA to liaise with the home buyer or seller’s bank, conduct title searches, lodge documents and transfer funds to complete settlement in a fast and efficient manner.

To date Victoria and NSW have mandated the compulsory use of PEXA for all transfer transactions, including conveyancing, with Victoria commencing on 1 October, 2018, Western Australia on 1 December, 2018 and NSW on 1 July, 2019.

Lawyers and conveyancers in Queensland can now register to use PEXA for conveyancing electronic settlements, with PEXA, the Commissioner of Stamp Duties, Registrar of Titles and Queensland Law Society working together towards mandating the compulsory use of the platform.

The advantages of using PEXA include:

  • e-Conveyancing minimises the manual processes and paperwork associated with property settlement by enabling lawyers, conveyancers and financial institutions to transact together online.
  • On-time conveyancing settlement.
  • Cleared sale proceeds in your account same day.
  • Complete and lodge documents electronically.
  • Registration of the Transfer immediately, instead of days or sometimes weeks after settlement.
  • Reducing the risk of errors and delays, giving you greater certainty of successful, on-time settlement;

OUR CLIENT REVIEWS
I would like to thank you all for the outstanding legal service you have provided to me during such a challenging time. I was not aware of the complexities involved in managing a deceased estate and your guidance has been extremely effective. A special thanks ... for managing the conveyancing with its own special challenges and tight time-frames. I would highly recommend the services of RobertsLaw, a very professional, friendly and experienced team

I would like to say thank you for all the assistance and empathy that you have shown the whole family during the very stressful situation that we have found ourselves in over the past 8 months.

Never having met each other face to face and having to conduct everything by phone or email, must have made this case more difficult for Philip than normal. I always felt completely confident in everything he did on my behalf. At all times he was extremely professional and his advise always sound and correct. He achieved the result I hoped for (and) I am very grateful.

Our late sister finalised her affairs with Amanda Tomlinson and her team at RobertsLaw. On returning home to New Zealand, RobertsLaw provided us outstanding support. We valued their services as matters were dealt with that came to hand when we could not be there. We would recommend RobertsLaw as we found them to be professional with client support at its best.
