Updating/Amending a Notice of Sale after lodgement

jreeson — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 03:26:43 GMT

How can I amend the Address for Service of Notices on the Notice of Sale after it has been lodged.

Re: Lease NSW

CT — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 22:21:30 GMT

1. I am not sure about whether the CT will be updated and issued ( I would presume so as the customer would still hold CoRD) you could check with the LRS direct if no one here knows the answer to that.

2. You do not have to obtain a document for consent if the consentor, consents through the work space.

Fantastic article Josephine. Especially loved the member testimonials.

Lease NSW

JulesM — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 03:55:03 GMT

Couple of questions.....

1. When a Vendor has a clear title and the lease is registered, does LRS issue a new Certificate of Title?

2. I note the mortgagee gets invited into the PEXA workspace as Consentor, is that classed as sufficient for Mortgagee's Consent, or do we still need to obtain an actual document? (Asking because Help Card states Mortgagee's Consent as an additional document that can be uploaded).

Thanks

Testimonials from your colleagues

Kaylene Widderick, On Call Conveyancing Services

"On Call Conveyancing Services has decided to implement the use of PEXA Key to provide our clients with an added security measure giving them peace of mind that all best practice procedures are implemented within their conveyancing transaction."

Renee Odell, Impact Conveyancing

"PEXA Key has become an integral part of our conveyancing process. As email communication becomes more and more untrustworthy, sharing account details via that medium puts our customers at an unnecessary and vulnerable security risk, the implementation of PEXA key was quite simply a ‘no-brainer’ for my firm."

PEXA Partner Program 2021

Josephine1 — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 05:20:10 GMT

After a restful break over the festive season, I have returned energised and ready to embrace all that will be in 2021. January proved to be an amazing month filled with many calendar appointments with our PEXA members, positively sharing how 2021 ‘has started in a way like no other’ – to quote Steve Rayward of Rayward Conveyancing who has opened many new conveyancing files and achieved record settlement transactions for his business, fuelling me with much energy and motivation for the NSW PEXA Partner Program in 2021.

I took a moment last week to reflect on my journey, starting as a PEXA Direct Specialist four years ago and how rewarding it’s been to have the amazing job of helping many NSW practitioners transition from paper to e-conveyancing via our PEXA platform. I am extremely proud to have worked with many NSW practitioners in achieving their e-conveyancing goals with much success. Currently in my role as NSW PEXA Partner, I continue to work with our practitioner members, ensuring that they continue to use the PEXA platform to its full potential and embrace the continuing innovation.

One thing I am extremely proud of is our members’ ‘gratitude’ for our ‘PEXA Key’ solution which offers a safe method of exchanging bank account details to protect homebuyers and sellers and our PEXA members alike – at a time where the industry has been a target for email phishing scams. Not only are our members grateful for the innovative technology, but they are grateful for how the PEXA Partner Program allows us to work with them ensuring they are empowered with the knowledge on how PEXA Key works.

We work closely with our practitioner members to ensure that they understand the PEXA Key functionality and how it functions with the Workspace and most importantly understanding what their client experiences when they are using the PEXA Key app. The PEXA Partner Program gives us the opportunity to have these important discussions with our practitioner members, helping them to successfully incorporate PEXA Key into their business process, ensuring they have the resources such as client brochures so that their clients can also be educated on how the PEXA Key app will work, which then ensures their client is more likely to use PEXA Key successfully. Members such as Ezy Step Conveyancing have also shared on their socials the importance and security benefits of their clients using PEXA Key to securely communicate bank account details.

This has been a successful and creative campaign for Ezy Step Conveyancing in getting the message across to the broader community. With that said, if you have been too busy to look into the PEXA Key app, please reach out to your PEXA Partner to discuss PEXA Key. We look forward to working with you in 2021.

A big thank you to Impact Conveyancing and On-Call Conveyancing for proudly sharing your insights and embracing PEXA Key into your everyday e-conveyancing process.

Transfer

Alexvj — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:36:42 GMT

We have a matter where we need to change the tenancy from Joint Tenants to Tenants in Common and have a mortgagee on title.

We will then have 2 Transfers, one for each of the Tenants in Common as we will be transferring the property into their superfund for the sum of eg.$1 and payout the mortgage. There is also an incoming mortgagee. Can this be completed in pexa in one transaction and if so how?

1. Change of Tenancy from joint tenants to tenants in common and a mortgagee on title

2. Transfer from X (one of the tenant in common) to their super fund and payout the mortgage and receive the sum of eg $1 payout the mortgagee on title with the incoming mortgagee

3. Transfer from Y (the second tenant in common) to their super fund and payout the mortgage and receive the sum of eg.$1 payout the mortgagee on title with the incoming mortgagee

Transmission Application to Executors

bbteam2428 — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 23:39:16 GMT

Good Morning,

Would appreciate confirmation whether a T/A to Executors can be done with a caveat on the title with/without the caveator's consent or involvement.

Thanks.

Re: Purchaser insisting on clear s47 when land tax paid at settlement

ChristaC — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 21:59:40 GMT

I noticed the standard terms of the NSW Contract changed between the 2018 and 2019 editions regarding land tax charges -

Clause 16.6 of the 2018: "If a party serves a land tax certificate showing a charge on any of the land, on completion the vendor must give the purchaser a land tax certificate showing the charge is no longer effective against the land."

Clause 16.6 of the 2019 edition: "If a party serves a land tax certificate showing a charge on any of the land, by completion the vendor must do all things and pay all money required so that the charge is no longer effective against the land."

The NSW Law Society said the update reflects the change in process of clearing land tax charges, including payment via an ELNO on settlement. From my understanding, there is actually no requirement under the 2019 edition of the Contract to provide a clear s 47 certificate prior to settlement now.

https://www.lawsociety.com.au/sites/default/files/2019-10/LS3254_ECOS_2019_Summary-of-changes_0.pdf

Seems odd that they wouldn't even accept an undertaking.

Purchaser insisting on clear s47 when land tax paid at settlement

melissajg — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 05:53:08 GMT

There is a land tax charge.

A clearance quote has been received from OSR.

This has been provided to the purchaser.

We have entered a payment destination for the full amount noted in the clearance quote.

Purchaser is insisting they are NOT required to settle until they receive clear 47.

- Their solution is we pay prior to settlement. This is not a solution.

- I offered an undertaking to provide clear s47 within 5 days post. No

We have posted in our Community a scope tool to assist with queries like this. You can find it on the following link;

https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Help-Centre/Completing-A-Transfer-Representing-The-Vendor-In-NSW-Help-Centre/ba-p/141

You mention Party C but the final share only speaks to Parties A & B. If I understand your query correctly the share structure will change to Party A & C holding the final share as Joint Tenants. The inclusion of Banks refinancing will not impact the ability to do a transfer

Should you have any more queries on your workspace once its created, you can also contact the Support line on 1300 084 515.

Re: Name on title different from bank records

VesnaVranjes — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 22:41:27 GMT

Hello Clara,

The electronic system mimics the paper process - as the person is coming off the Certificate of title generally a Statutory Declaration is sufficient - which can be saved to the Files tab for any future clarification.

Ultimately it is up to the NSW Land Registry Services and the Registrar General to be the source of truth - please check https://rg-guidelines.nswlrs.com.au/

or email: econveyancingnsw@nswlrs.com.au if you wish further information.

Name on title different from bank records

Clara — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 01:49:03 GMT

We are acting for the vendor whose name on the title has no middle name but the bank's records has his middle name.

Do we need to execute a Change of Name and lodge at LRS, or we can just use the name on the Title Search when transacting in PEXA and when completing the Discharge Authority.

Transfer of Part Tenancy and altering Tenancy to Joint Tenancy

btan — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 23:44:53 GMT

Hi! We have a situation whereby a related party transfer of a joint tenancy share is requesting that the end result be that proprietors be joint tenants.

1. Present - Tenants in Common in Equal Share:

Party A (1/2 share) & Party B(1/2 share)

2. Transfer - Party C taking over Party B

Party A (1/2 share) & Party B(1/2 share)

3. At settlement:

Party A & Party B (Joint Tenants).

Will this be possible in 1 lodgement / process, or will it have to be done separately (i.e. process the initial transfer first, and lodge another transfer altering tenancy).

To throw a spanner into the works, banks are involved as its a refinance...

Thanks!

Residual Documents NSW

suet — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 06:55:37 GMT

Can Mortgagees refuse to do settlements with residual documents - I've just had a bank withdraw from a workspace (on the say of settlement, might I add) saying they only do residual documents with a paper settlement. I thought that was the point of having residual documents on PEXA - to avoid having to do a paper settlement!!

Cyber Security Tips for the Christmas Period

AmandaKeenan — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 23:33:24 GMT

Coming into the busy season it is imperative to ensure that cyber security is a focus for your business.

Workspace security – sharing/obtaining account details for settlement

Since March 2020 there has been a significant increase in email phishing. A number of our practitioners have unfortunately been the victim of email fraud over the past month in different circumstances. I am sure that they can confirm that this situation is highly stressful for the practitioners and clients alike. In addition, we regularly see corrective payments come through to correct an error that has been made when keying in account details in PEXA.

PEXA recommends the use of PEXA Key to mitigate your risk of the above scenarios.

PEXA Key is a secure app for clients through which account details required for settlement can be exchanged and clients can track their settlement’s progress. When sellers input their bank account details into PEXA Key, the app communicates this information into their practitioner’s PEXA Workspace, eliminating the need to engage insecure communication channels, such as email, and risk interception by a third party. This solution also removes the need to rekey bank account information and enables the practitioners to provide their firm’s trust account details securely to the buyer.

Differentiate your firm and delight clients with enhanced levels of service and security throughout their property settlement. Find out more about PEXA Key here. Find PEXA Key Resources here.

Please contact your PEXA Representative if you have any questions.

General Security tips

There are a few simple steps you can take to help improve your online safety and protect yourself from scammers and cyber-criminals. Here’s how:

Make sure you have up-to-date anti-virus and firewall software on your devices;
Protect your PEXA digital certificate - store it securely if you’re not using it in PEXA;
Don’t share your PEXA password or digital certificate PIN; and
If you think something has gone wrong and you or someone in your business has been compromised, contact PEXA and suspend the user’s PEXA access.

Note, this is not a full list of security measures you should take to ensure your cyber-security. If you are in doubt, or you are not sure, you should seek advice from an IT professional. Full Subscriber obligations on digital security are set out in PEXA’s Subscriber Security Policy.

You can find out more information about spam and phishing emails and protecting your business from attacks by visiting the PEXA website, pexa.com.au/security/members, or the ACSC has fantastic resources for small to medium businesses. In addition, you can visit our security page on Community here, where you can subscribe and receive security updates.

Important notice

The information provided in this email is general in nature and is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to cyber security. PEXA Members are responsible for the security of their own systems. You should not rely solely on the information in this document. If you are unsure of your obligations under the Participation Agreement between PEXA and your organisation, or if you are not satisfied that your systems are adequately secure, you should obtain professional advice.

Lease Registration

RBear — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 22:36:08 GMT

I am attempting to Register a Lease and the previous Lessee (expired Lease) has been automatically created as an interested party.

There is no way I can remove them. Will this affect the ability to Register the Lease?

Is there anything that can be done or can I just leave them as unrepresented?

Thanks Ryan

Re: two transfers are required in one workspace.

VesnaVranjes — Thu, 03 Dec 2020 23:05:42 GMT

Hello Jackio,

There is an NSW LRS exemption for this type of scenario (5.4) as there are more than 20 titles on the one dealing.

Please see the NSW Land Registry website:

https://rg-guidelines.nswlrs.com.au/e-dealings/elodgment/elodgment_requirements/exemptions_for_electronic_lodgment_of_mandated_dealings_and_caveats_from_1_july_2020

Trying to create this in PEXA will cause errors with the documents and stamp duty.

Re: Error on Transfer

VesnaVranjes — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 23:20:45 GMT

Hello Amanda,

Once the Transfer has been registered the Certificate of Title will issue with those details noted on the Transfer. The only way to amend the details is to lodge a Change of Name.

Re: Error on Transfer

Jo-Anne — Mon, 30 Nov 2020 22:13:32 GMT

Hi,

Did you stamp with the middle name?

I have recently had an issue where i stamped correctly but the transfer had an incorrect middle name.

I was under the impression that Pexa & OSR verified the documents (same name that was stamped is the same name on the transfer).

I have been told that the middle name is not verified, only first & last names.

I am trying to get mine rectified & if I find an easy way to do it, will let you know.

Error on Transfer

amandam83 — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 09:03:00 GMT

I've just completed a transfer settlement from Mum to Daughter which involved no outgoing or incoming mortgagees, and after settlement was completed and I realised that the incoming proprietor's middle name was left off the transfer document... Her middle name is noted on her ID, and it was just an error on my end. What is the easiest way to have this rectified, so that the new CT when issued will include her middle name?

I act for a purchaser of a rural property. We require two transfers (22 titles) and I would like to know what to write as consideration in the second transfer.

Do I place the purchase price on first transfer and the second transfer is $0.00 or do I apportion across the two transfers?

We act for a purchaser and we have registered a priority notice on PEXA.

The vendor will be registering a Variation of Lease prior to settlement, and intends to do so on PEXA.

I note that with a paper dealing lodgement, a person who lodged a priority notice can consent to the registration of a dealing which is prohibited by the priority notice by providing written consent to NSW LRS. Is there any mechanism on PEXA whereby a person who lodged a priority notice can consent to registration of a Variation of Lease to enable it to be registered on PEXA?

Transfers not in conformity S 18(3) v Transfers in partial conformity S 64C - Revenue NSW

Vanessa-RevenueNSW — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 22:25:59 GMT

Revenue NSW has been asked to clarify the scenario surrounding what Transfers can be lodged via PEXA and when a Duties Verification Waiver letter is required.

To clarify the difference:

Transfers not in conformity section 18(3) – Can be settled via PEXA . Simply process a second duty assessment via your CSP for a Transfer under S 18(3), where you will be prompted to relate the assessment back to the initial Contract assessment Duties Assessment Number (DAN). Enter the DAN into the PEXA workspace and an information message is returned upon verification to advise the need to set up a third party disbursement for the original DAN the Contract was assessed under.
Transfers in partial conformity section 64C – Cannot be settled via PEXA. In accordance with the Duties Document Matrix, the Transfer will need be lodged via the eDuties Portal and upon Assessment a DAN and a waiver letter will be provided by Revenue NSW for lodgement with LRS.

Further information about Duties Verification Waiver letters and how to request one, can be found here.

Hi Community,

The NSW Office of the Registrar General (ORG), NSW Land and Registry Services (NSW LRS) and PEXA are currently providing a temporary solution to lodge presently out of scope paper documents through the PEXA Platform – the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement.

This process enables paper documents to be sent through to NSW LRS via a PEXA Workspace as a document in PDF format. The NSW LRS then treats the PDF version of the document as if it were being lodged in paper over the counter.

In line with PEXA Release 12.1.1, scheduled for go-live on Saturday 5 September 2020, 18 previously available documents within the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement process will be deactivated.

These will be replaced by 26 newly activated Residual Documents, which can be created and lodged directly via PEXA.

Surrender of Lease

PennyR — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 01:25:37 GMT

Good morning,

I am acting on the sale of a residential property and there is a Real Property Act lease registered over the title.

The initial term of the lease expired in March 2020 and the tenant vacated the premises on the expiration of the initial term. The lease remains noted on the title, however the problem is that it contains 4 six (6) month options for renewal and under the circumstances would not be simply removed from the title on registration of the Transfer.

In days prior to PEXA (and if my memory serves me right) on the provision of a stat dec by the Lessor confirming that the option had not been exercised the notation of the lease in the second schedule would be automatically removed.

It seems to me that I would now have to obtain a Surrender of Lease signed by the Lessee and lodge it for registration in order that the lease be removed from the second schedule.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Regards Penny Robinson

Hi ,

Thank you for the feedback!

Although the email text within the Settlement Notification can be edited to your liking (by typing over the text), there are definitely some benefits in being able to maintain your own custom email templates to be used in Settlement Notifications.

I will relay this feedback through to the relevant team for their consideration.

Ability to attach a document to settlement notifications

Jarrod_McAleese — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 01:47:30 GMT

PEXA has deployed a new settlement notification feature for members, available as of Monday 3 August 2020.

This change will enable users to upload and attach files to emails distributed upon settlement completion.

As an example, you will be able to send real estate agents an 'Order on the Agent' PDF within the post-settlement communication issued to them.

Transmission/transfer pursuant to Deed of Family Arrangement

MurrayHamer — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 04:47:05 GMT

Hi,

I am acting for the executor of a deceased estate. The beneficiaries are the executor and his sibling in equal shares. The main asset of the estate is a property. I have been instructed that the beneficiaries have agreed to enter into a deed of family arrangement for one beneficiary to purchase the other beneficiaries share. The beneficiary who is buying the other beneficiaries' share has said that he is wanting the following to occur:

(a) Transmission to him as devisee as to his 50% share pursuant to the will;

(b) Transfer of the remaining 50% share that he is purchasing from his sibling pursuant to the deed of family arrangement so that this share is split equally between him and his wife (i.e 25% to the beneficiary and 25% to his wife).

There will also be an incoming mortgagee as the purchasing beneficiary and his wife are needing to borrow to purchase the 50% share.

Can you please tell me whether this can be done through PEXA and if so how it would be done.

Thank you

Revenue NSW | Annual indexation of duties thresholds and base duty amounts

Mark-RevenueNSW — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 23:05:06 GMT

As part of the 2019 NSW State Budget, NSW Government introduced annual indexation of duties thresholds and base duty amounts (aligned to CPI). This impacts the general rate of duty and premium duty.

The indexed amounts are now available on the Revenue NSW website and calculators. The indexed amounts apply from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021.

Division 3 Indexation of amounts in the Duties Act 1997 provides detailed information relating to annual indexation.

Re: Revenue NSW’s quick tip: Duty amount payable changing just prior to settlement?

Jarrod_McAleese — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 06:03:20 GMT

Thanks Mark for this excellent post to PEXA Community.

I am pleased to advise that PEXA will initiate an automated Stamp Duty Verification request to Revenue NSW on the Morning of Settlement from PEXA Release 13 which is planned for Nov 2020. This will mean that from PEXA R13 our Members will no longer need to manually initiate Stamp Duty Verification on the morning of Settlement. We hope this enhancement eases the workload upon our members.

NSW Certificate of Insurance | FY21

Jarrod_McAleese — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 00:48:24 GMT

Hi Community,

PEXA, together with our Subscribers, has an important role to play in upholding the integrity of the network. Ensuring all members are adequately insured plays a key role in this responsibility.

This involves PEXA adhering to Requirement 14.4 of ARNECC’s Model Operating Requirements (MOR), which require PEXA to ensure that its Subscribers satisfy the Insurance Rules in Schedule 6 to the Model Participation Rules (MPR).

Previously, having a conveyancing licence in NSW was evidence the licence holder was insured, however this is no longer the case as someone may obtain a licence without being insured. Read more here.

As such, from 9 June, PEXA has been requesting via email that all NSW conveyancers provide a copy of their organisation’s Certificate of Insurance for the year ending 2021, in order to keep using PEXA.

We appreciate your assistance in helping us meet these requirements. You will have until 30 June to provide the Certificate of Insurance to PEXA.

Please note, if PEXA does not receive a copy of your firm’s Certificate of Insurance, your firm’s access to PEXA will be temporarily suspended until this is actioned.

For more information, please email our helpful Account Services team: registration@pexa.com.au.

Kind regards,
Jarrod

Revenue NSW’s quick tip: Duty amount payable changing just prior to settlement?

Mark-RevenueNSW — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 03:24:23 GMT

On the day of settlement, the amount of duty payable can change. The most common reason for this occurring is:

A duty assessment is accruing interest on a daily basis

Revenue NSW recommends subscribers complete a manual duties verification the morning of settlement. The verification provides the updated duty amount payable (includes interest and penalty figures). This approach may allow additional time to ensure sufficient source funds for settlement.

Revenue NSW is working closely with PEXA in designing a solution to improve the subscriber experience.

COVID-19 Residual Lodgement comparison

Jarrod_McAleese — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 07:56:23 GMT

As previously advised, to support the state’s network at this time, the NSW Office of the Registrar General (ORG), NSW Land and Registry Services (NSW LRS) and PEXA have worked together to facilitate a temporary solution to lodge presently out of scope paper documents through the PEXA Platform.

The new lodgement process, referred to as COVID-19 Residual Lodgement, has been released in two phases.

Phase 1: As of 11 May 2020, PEXA Subscribers are able to lodge paper Real Property Act dealings with a Land Title Reference through the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement via the PEXA Platform. This functionality is available for both dealings that are not currently mandated for electronic lodgement, as well as mandated documents.

Phase 2: As of 25 May 2020, paper documents which don’t have a Real Property Act Land Title Reference or where the Land Title is not valid for electronic lodgement in the PEXA Platform, are able to be lodged through the PEXA Platform using a prescribed Title Reference.

The sole member (also a sole director of the Trustee) is retired and decided to transfer the property to her personal name and pay the settlement balance by non-super funds (as superfund was dropped too much during COVID-19).

NSW COVID-19 Temporary Lodgement Option of Paper Dealings through PEXA

RebeccaSoper — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 11:01:21 GMT

The current COVID-19 outbreak presents a number of logistical challenges to industry, particularly for members regarding the over the counter lodgement of presently out-of-scope paper documents.

With this in mind and to support the state’s network at this time, the NSW Office of the Registrar General (ORG), NSW Land and Registry Services (NSW LRS) and PEXA have worked together to facilitate a temporary solution to lodge presently out of scope paper documents through the PEXA Platform.

The new lodgement process, referred to as “COVID-19 Residual Lodgement” will be made available in two phases from 11 May 2020. The COVID-19 Residual Lodgement process enables paper documents to be sent through to NSW LRS via a PEXA Workspace as a document in PDF format. The NSW LRS will then treat the PDF version of the document as if it were being lodged in paper over the counter.

The COVID-19 Residual Lodgement process will be rolled out in two phases:

Phase 1

From 11 May 2020, PEXA Subscribers will be able to lodge paper Real Property Act dealings with a Land Title Reference through the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement via the PEXA Platform. This functionality will be available for both dealings that are not currently mandated for electronic lodgement, as well as mandated documents. For a full list of paper dealings that are able to be lodged in Phase 1, please see NSW LRS FAQ’s here .

Phase 2

From 25 May 2020, paper documents which don’t have a Real Property Act Land Title Reference or where the Land Title is not valid for electronic lodgement in the PEXA Platform, will be able to be lodged through the PEXA Platform using a prescribed Title Reference. The documents that will be available from 25th May 2020 are as follows:
"Memorandum" - Form 16LM
"Resumption of Non-RPA Land/Primary Application" Form 00RA
"Old System Deed"
"Power of Attorney"
"Miscellaneous Document" will be available from 15th June 2020.

Please note that as you will be entering a dummy title reference into the workspace for these dealings, the Title Activity Check and Lodgement Verification on the documents will not occur.

In the case of a financial settlement, please ensure that you check with your bank that they are able to complete the matter electronically prior to creating the workspace.

You will need to ensure that they follow the same process that currently applies in paper, such as completing and submitting an eNOS where applicable and ensuring the paper dealing is stamped by Revenue NSW.

For further information on how to complete the above, please see Help Cards Attached.

General Requirements (pursuant to NSW LRS Lodgement FAQs)

Dealings that are lodged through the COVID-19 residual lodgement channel are to be accompanied by a cover sheet which is generated in the PEXA Workspace.

The sheet will include:

Lodger/Subscriber Details
Dealing Name - The respective dealing type available is selected from a list of Real Property Act dealing forms
Land Title Reference(s) affecting the dealing
Applicant – The lodging party of the paper dealings
Affirmation Statement - The Subscriber must affirm the following statement by typing into the cover sheet The Certifier certifies that the attachment is a true copy of the Instrument, a duly executed version of which has been retained by the Certifier.
Certification Statements
Attachment – The dealing/document to be attached must be the same as the Dealing Name selected. The paper dealing/document must be completed adhering to the rules specified in Registrar General’s Guidelines for that particular dealing/document.
- When uploading and attaching the file, please ensure:-
  1. The complete paper lodgement is in one PDF (max size of attachment 100MB)
  2. The attached PDF is not security protected.
  3. Attach file as "Dealing"
Execution

FAQs

What is the PEXA fee? The PEXA fees are $35.75 incl GST or $50.16 incl GST (with financial settlement). For further information on PEXA Pricing for COVID-19 Residual Lodgement please see here .
How will LRS Lodgement fees be processed? For Phase 1 documents, the current process will apply. If the transaction does not involve a Financial Settlement, both the PEXA Fee and the NSWLRS Lodgement fees will be direct debited from your nominated account. If the transaction involves a Financial Settlement, the PEXA Fees and the NSWLRS Lodgement fees will be included as a destination line item in the Financial Settlement Schedule and be paid at settlement.
For Phase 2 documents, the Lodgement fees will be invoiced by LRS following lodgement through PEXA.

Can I lodge Water Access Licence dealings using this process? No. WAL dealings are currently unavailable and must be lodged at NSW LRS Lodgement Office using the “drop & go” option.
Can I settle financially in the same Workspace? Yes you can. For further information on how to complete the transaction, please refer to Help Cards attached.
Will my document register automatically? No. It is important to note that the Covid-19 Residual Document process is allowing the electronic delivery of paper documents to LRS for registration. Once documents have been received by LRS, they will follow the current process for registration of paper dealings.
Can I lodge a dealing currently available through PEXA with a paper dealing via the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement process? No. A lodgement case must either contain all electronically created dealings or, all paper dealings scanned and uploaded to the PEXA Workspace.
How long will the COVID-19 Residual Lodgement be available in PEXA? Whilst COVID-19 Residual Lodgement is temporary, Phase 1 will continue to operate after the pandemic. However, PEXA will continue to work with NSW LRS, ORG & Revenue NSW to make every dealing a structured document which is more suitable for eConveyancing.

Phase 2 is intended to cease operation once the pandemic period as passed and the Registrar General deems it safe to do so. Further communications will be published at that time.

What land title reference do I use for lodgement of Phase 2 documents? The prescribed Land Title Reference to be used is NO/REF/99999. For further information on how to lodge these documents, please refer to Help Cards attached.
Can I lodge a dealing if it affects more than 20 titles? Yes. To lodge a dealing which affects more than 20 titles, you will select “Miscellaneous Document” and use the prescribed Land Title Reference NO/REF/99999 when validating the Land Title at workspace creation. The actual Land Title References will be stated in the PDF copy of the dealing.
Can I satisfy Requisitions on Title through PEXA? No. For further information, please see NSW LRS Information Sheet here
Do I need to complete an eNOS? An eNOS must be completed online through the NSW LRS Online Portal .
Does the paper dealing need to be stamped by Revenue NSW? Yes, the requirement for the payment of duty and stamping by Revenue NSW on the paper dealing does not change as a result of COVID-19 Residual Lodgement.

If you require any further assistance, please email out to teamnsw@pexa.com.au .

Hi ,

Yes good question. The long-awaited Notice of Death will be available in Release 11.1.1, scheduled for 14 March. This was pushed out a couple of weeks from the original date in February due to some delays. Details of this release can be found here .

Change of Name on the other hand, will be one of the first document types released under the new Residual Documents Strategy. The RDS was developed to speed up the introduction of the long tail of documents required to reach 100% digital. The RDS provides a framework to enable NSW LRS to design the remaining forms at their own pace. NSW LRS have proposed Change of Name to be ready in the March/April timeframe.

Meanwhile, Release 11.1.0 features an increase in scope for part tenancy transfers, to enable joint tenancy matters to be dealt with using part tenancy functionality. R 11.1.0 will be available in production 10 February. Details are here.

Thanks for your patience!

Belinda

NSW document registration timeframes

BelindaLeFevre — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 05:31:14 GMT

Dear Community,

Some community members have asked for more information on the expected timeframes for electronic dealings to register in NSW. Some lodged electronically are auto-registered, in which case the registration can take place in a matter of minutes. But what about those that are manually examined? And which documents are likely to automatically register?

NSW Land Registry Services has service delivery targets for electronic dealings to either register, requisition, refer or reject is:

70% within 2 business days
100% within 5 business days

Several frequently lodged dealings can be automatically registered when transacted through an ELNO. They are:

Transfer
Mortgage
Discharge of Mortgage
Withdrawal of Caveat

All other dealing types lodged electronically are manually examined by the NSW LRS team. There are also circumstances where a dealing that would normally auto-register requires manual examination, such as where there are certain notifications on title or where unregistered dealings may exist on title. A delay in registration can be disconcerting for practitioners, and indicate further work/investigation may be required. While caveats do not auto-register, practitioners can have confidence that a caveat takes effect from the date of lodgement.

Tips for community members

If you want to keep an eye on a dealing as it progresses, you can utilise the free “Document Inquiry” on the NSW LRS Online Portal to check the status of the dealing by entering the dealing number referenced in PEXA.

To find the dealing number assigned:

Access the documents screen from within the PEXA workspace
Select View next to the document you are interested in
Look for the Dealing No

For information about a specific dealing, please contact NSW LRS.

All the best

Transfers pursuant to Family Court Order (NSW)

GPLegal — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 06:47:14 GMT

Are transfers pursuant to Family Court Orders available to be done in NSW on PEXA?

If so, can you please guide how to create a transfer from joint tenancy to sole proprietor. We represent the party who will retain the title.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Well Done Westpac !

Maree1 — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 22:21:55 GMT

On this note I feel that the credit unions are way ahead of some of the banks. They tend to prepare their documents and enter available funds days before the matter settles so you have time to organise your client's funds. Well done to any financial institution which can give us this.

Well Done Westpac !

Cory — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 02:30:33 GMT

After conducting more than 800 matters via PEXA I think that Westpac PEXA are ahead of the rest.

With recent matters I have had, they read and acknowledge conversations, upload indicative POF a couple of days before settlement, enter funds available and do all the things that we were told would happen on the PEXA platform and because they do this I don't need to call their settlement booking line.

Well Done Westpac - Credit where credit is due.... and this is not a paid advertisement

Digital Driver Licence in NSW and Verification of Identity

BelindaLeFevre — Thu, 05 Dec 2019 05:45:07 GMT

VOI and the Digital Driver Licence (DDL)

Dear Community,

The NSW government have launched the Digital Driver Licence (DDL) - the first in Australia, enabling citizens to download a licence to an application on their mobile phone.

While this is a great initiative and a convenient way to carry a licence, it should be noted the DDL has a limited use case under specific acts:

Road Transport Act 2013
Gaming and Liquor Administration Act 2007
Liquor Act 2007
Registered Clubs Act 1976

Unfortunately, the DDL can’t be used as evidence for the purpose of verifying identity in a conveyancing transaction, or to access an ELNO (eg PEXA).

Citizens should retain their plastic licence for the foreseeable future, and practitioners should be aware the DDL does not meet the VOI standard outlined by ARNECC (Australian Registrars E-Conveyancing Council) for the purposes of VOI. Further information about DDL can be read here and the legislation can be found here.

Best regards

Belinda

Transacting NSW Family Law Matters

BelindaLeFevre — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 06:55:14 GMT

Dear members,

There has been some uncertainty around processing NSW Family Law transactions using PEXA. While work was underway to clarify the impacts of such transactions on our ecosystem partners, Revenue NSW and NSW LRS, PEXA asked members to cease transacting these transactions in PEXA, and to utilise the current waivers in place for processing in paper. I’m pleased to advise work in this area has completed with the following transaction types now back in scope for processing in PEXA:

	Transaction	Description	Example	Outcome
1	(A+B)->A	Where A+B are joint tenants and one is coming off title.	Divorce	Can be transacted in PEXA. Please see the following Community page for more details.
2	A->(A+B)	Where A is bringing B on title as a joint tenant.	Marriage	Can be transacted in PEXA. Select A as the party staying on title.

*NB the above applies to both non-monetary and dutiable scenarios

This clarification will be communicated throughout the ecosystem for alignment across members. Please contact us via this thread to discuss in further detail.

Happy transacting

Belinda

Five days until 1 July 2019! Useful links for day 1

BelindaLeFevre — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 06:59:01 GMT

Good afternoon NSW members,

With just FIVE days to go until 1 July, I thought it would be timely to put some last minute links and resources together for you:

Circular - announcing inclusion of dealings in 1 July compliance date
New Conveyancing Rules
Waivers in effect 1 July
1. Land Tax - in place while practitioners get comfortable with the new functionality to pay land tax in PEXA
2. Mainstream Dealing Exceptions - all other waivers to the mandate in one document
3. Mortgage Certifications - certification wording
4. Participation Rules Waiver - certification wording
Conveyancing Rules Exemption Form 2019 - If you need to rely on a waiver to lodge in paper, you will need to complete this form in conjunction with the above links to adequately populate the form with the correct reference.
What to do if you have settled in paper but are unable to lodge? Stand by - PEXA will release 2 documents prior to Monday explaining how to complete a transfer and a transmission application in PEXA after you have settled in paper.
How to pay land tax via PEXA? Revenue NSW and PEXA, in conjunction with the Law Society, have developed a procedure and associated system changes, to enable practitioners to pay Land Tax at settlement in a PEXA workspace with comfort for the incoming party that the debt has been cleared. The solution utilizes the upload of the Section 47 and associated debt letter, into the Document Hub. Detailed instructions are being created for distribution shortly.

As always, feel free to respond with any last minute questions and I will endeavour to get the answers for you.

Warm regards

Belinda

NSW Certificate of Insurance

Aoife — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 01:12:04 GMT

PEXA, together with our Subscribers, has an important role to play in upholding the integrity of the e-Conveyancing network. Ensuring all members are adequately insured plays a key role in this responsibility.

This involves PEXA adhering to Requirement 14.4 of ARNECC’s Model Operating Requirements (MOR), which require PEXA to ensure that its Subscribers satisfy the Insurance Rules in Schedule 6 to the Model Participation Rules (MPR).

Previously, having a conveyancing licence in NSW was evidence the licence holder was insured, however this is no longer the case as someone may obtain a licence without being insured. Read more here. As such, from 8 July, PEXA will be requesting (via e-mail) that all NSW conveyancers provide a copy of their organisation’s Certificate of Insurance for the year ending 2020, in order to keep using PEXA.

We appreciate your assistance in helping us meet these requirements. To allow you ample time to prepare the necessary documentation, you will have until 7 August to provide the Certificate of Insurance to PEXA.

All Subscribers who provide their insurance before 22 July 2019 will have the chance to win a Village Gold Class voucher valued at $100*.

Please note, if PEXA does not receive a copy of your firm’s Certificate of Insurance, your firm’s access to PEXA will be temporarily suspended.

For more information, please e-mail us at registration@pexa.com.au.

Re: Preparing for 1 July 19 - Q & A with ORG NSW, NSW LRS, REVENUE NSW and PEXA

Jgal3 — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 01:40:49 GMT

Hello!

In our practice, we process transmission applications quite regularly, first to the executor and then to the beneficiary once the Estate is ready for distributions.

It is my understanding that transmission applications to executors require stamp duty to be processed, in order to apply for the exemption available to executors acting as legal personal representatives (see s12 and s65(12) of the Duties Act).

When processing the transmission to executor through PEXA there is no option for stamp duty.

I understand the LRS does not require the stamp duty notation but I want to be sure we are also satisfying the SRO/Duties Act requirements.

Is it now not required to process/apply the exemption at all for executor transmission applications? If so, when did this come into effect and is there a SRO ruling about this?

Thanks!

Trust Accounts & the PEXA Source Account: a comparison

Jarrod_McAleese — Mon, 18 May 2020 07:20:37 GMT

Ensuring source funds are available when required, whether through a statutory Trust Account or the PEXA Source Account, is key to the completion of timely settlements.

The use of a Trust Account in PEXA is one method that allows you to contribute funds to settlement on behalf of your client. There are a number of benefits to utilising your Trust Account in PEXA.

When operating your Trust Account, you have full visibility of the funds available for settlement.
You also have the ability to verify funds on the day of settlement, provided they are cleared.
Further, you have the flexibility of being able to provide funds when acting on either side of a settlement, or when acting for a mortgagee.

In order for practitioners to use their own Trust Accounts, PEXA requires the banks holding those accounts to integrate their systems with ours. A list of banks who are payment-integrated with PEXA can be found here.

For eligible PEXA Subscribers who do not already operate a Trust Account with an integrated bank, the PEXA Source Account is available for use. It enables practitioners to provide funds when they are representing an incoming proprietor.

It’s important to note, however, that the PEXA Source Account has certain conditions.

The PEXA Source Account is only available for use when representing the incoming proprietor – it is not available for use when acting in any other role to provide funds to settlement.
When using PEXA’s Source Account, cleared funds must be available in the account not less than three business days before the date of a scheduled settlement (see section 2.4 of the PEXA Service Charter).

In circumstances where funds are cleared into the Source Account less than three days prior to settlement, parties will be at risk of a delay in settlement, potentially leading to unnecessary stress for you and your clients.

Queensland members who wish to use an integrated trust account must seek approval from QLS and agree to comply with the related guidelines. The QLS approval letter can then be provided to PEXA to begin benefitting from seamless trust account integration.

If you’d like to register your Trust Account to your PEXA profile, you can access our Trust Account Form below. Alternatively, if you bank with Macquarie, contact our Account Services team. If you have any further questions on Trust Accounts or the PEXA Source Account, please reply to this thread.
