The PEXA System integrates with the Land Registry so that a caveat can be lodged against a title electronically, in real-time.
PEXA lets you rapidly lodge Caveats electronically as the structure of claim statements and prohibitions is standardised. This minimises inconsistencies and variations that often result in time delays and requisitions. A caveat can also be withdrawn, when it is no longer required, using the Withdrawal of Caveat document.
The Australian Institute of Conveyancers is running a specialised Caveat Workshop through the ECA training program. Find out more and register to attend the session here.
