Changes to the land title system in NSW

[Saysa]

You've been redirected here because the Consent  article you were looking for no longer applies.

On 11 October 2021, two new changes to the land title system in NSW are introduced:

1. The cancellation of Certificates of Title (CTs) and the control of the right to deal (CoRD) framework; and
2. The requirement for all property dealings to be lodged electronically.

This means that:

• You can no longer create Consent forms in PEXA.
• The Land Registry will no longer process NSW Consent forms, even if they are included in a lodgement.
• NSW LRS no longer prints Paper Certificates of Title.

Our client is purchasing a property and the mortgage will be registered over the new property AND another property already owned by the our client. How do I consent to the mortgagee registering its mortgage over the property already owned if no consent document is created?

Hi @sharond1 

Thank you for your question.

From 11 October the CoRD Holder Consent framework has been abolished meaning that CoRD consents will no longer be able to be created in the workspace for any reason.

Please see link to the ORG Abolition of CT's page where you can find further information - https://www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/property-and-conveyancing/eConveyancing/abolition-of-certifi...
