Information for a New Workspace

To create the Workspace, the following key details are required:

• Land Title Reference(s): The properties you wish to transact on.
• Subscriber Workspace Reference: This is your identifier for this Workspace. This could be a reference used in your internal systems or an internal ID to help track the Workspace.
• Financial settlement required?: If financial settlement is required, you will specify the date and time for the settlement.
• Workgroup: The team of users assigned responsibility for the completion of tasks within the Workspace.

Create a Workspace

4. Select a Representative Role. The Representative Role will be your role for this Workspace. The options displayed are determined by the Transaction Type selected.
5. If you selected Mortgagee on Title or Incoming Mortgagee for the role above, you have the option to select a Panel Master.

This field allows for any identifier to be entered. For example: “RM:2035467_34”.
8. If the Workspace contains Financial Settlement: Select Yes to Financial Settlement Required? Enter a Financial settlement date. Enter a Financial settlement time.
9. Mark all land title references in workspace as parent? Defaults to No.

10. Request land title data? Defaults to Now.
    This ensures the land title data is returned immediately from the Land Registry. Select Later if your transaction does not require Land Registry data at this point in time.
11. Select a Workgroup. The Workgroup is the team you wish to assign this new Workspace to. Every Workspace requires at least one Workgroup. 
12. Select Save. 

Result: The Workspace Summary Screen is displayed, and the Participants can now be added to participate in the property transaction.

Give it a go in this Interactive Demo

Click on "I'd like to try it myself" to get started. Note: To open the simulator in a new screen, click here. 

Steps

To complete a Survivorship Application, follow the below steps. We have created a scenario to assist with this how-to article.

Scenario:

Margaret and Maxwell Black are joint tenants of a property in Lorne, Victoria. Maxwell Black has passed away. You have received instructions from Margaret to complete a survivorship application to remove Maxwell as a proprietor from the land title.

Important note: the same Subscriber must represent all surviving Proprietor’s on Title.

Instructions

1. Create Workspace in the role of Proprietor on title.
2. Check the Land Titles screen.
3. Navigate to the Participants screen:
   • Select Edit Party to confirm you represent Margaret Black and complete any outstanding details.
   • For Maxwell Black, select Edit Party to edit his details and select The Proprietor is Deceased.
4. Navigate to the Documents screen and select Create Document and then Survivorship. 

   

   Important Note: If there are multiple Joint Tenancies, select the correct Joint Tenancy from the Joint Tenancy drop down box.

5. Review the details and select Save. 
6. If you hold a duplicate certificate of title, prepare the Nomination now:
   • On the Document screen select Create Document>Nomination
   • Complete the details and select Save. 
   • View and  Sign in the usual manner. 
   • Note: the Nomination will automatically lodge upon signing.

   Note: If the title is an eCT and you are named as the CT Controller, no Nomination is required.

   Note: If a third party (e.g. a bank) holds the duplicate Certificate of Title or is named as the CT Controller of an eCT, you will need to invite them into the Workspace to prepare the Nomination.

7. Edit the Lodgement Instructions. View, Sign and Submit for lodgement in the usual manner.

Important notes:

• If the Survivorship Application is required for a Transfer, you will need to complete a standalone Survivorship Application prior to opening the Transfer Workspace.
• Should you inadvertently create a Transfer Workspace that requires a Survivorship, create an additional Workspace and lodge the Survivorship, then request an Information Resupply in the Land Titles screen of the Transfer Workspaces after successful registration of the Survivorship Application.

Last updated: 14 August 2020
Jurisdiction: VIC
Additional Resources: Help Card

Overview

PEXA supports the electronic lodgement of a Transmission Application in Victoria.  If a Sole Proprietor, a Tenant in Common, or all tenants in a Joint Tenancy on a property title have passed away, then a Transmission application should be made to appoint a representative to an estate. Transmission Applications in PEXA cannot currently be used for scenarios involving bankruptcy, but we will advise you further once this is available.

A Transmission can be lodged:

• Standalone, or in combination with a Mortgage, Discharge of Mortgage or Caveat
• With or without financial settlement.

Currently, PEXA does not support lodging a Transmission in combination with a Transfer. In such cases, you would need to lodge and register the Transmission first, and then lodge a Transfer via a separate Workspace. 

Important! Ensure the Transmission is lodged and registered prior to creating a Transfer Workspace.

Note: You are not required to provide supporting documentation in PEXA to lodge a Transmission but please ensure that you are in possession of the correct documentation.

Encumbrance - SA | Help Centre

Last updated: 5 September 2019
Jurisdiction: SA
Additional Resources: Help Card

Overview

PEXA has the ability to lodge an Encumbrance and Discharge an Encumbrance in SA. An encumbrance can be registered on a title as a restriction regarding the use of the land. It is an agreement creating various obligations on the parties, restricting or forbidding certain acts on the property.

When purchasing a property in a recently developed area, an encumbrance in favour of the developer often appears against the title of the property. Many encumbrances aim to maintain uniformity within the development and are applicable to each and every property in the area.  Encumbrances can be seen as a benefit, as they help maintain consistency with certain types of developments.

Other encumbrances can be ‘lifted and replaced’. As the terms specify, they do not run with the title.  The existing encumbrance is discharged as part of settlement (i.e., lifted) and a new encumbrance in the purchaser’s name in similar terms is registered at settlement (i.e., replaced).

You will see the roles of Encumbrancee on Title and Incoming Encumbrancee when creating a new workspace in PEXA. This functionality also supports the uploading and attaching of supporting Covenants via the Files screen.

Video

Watch a demo and webinar on SA Encumbrances below (24 mins)

Steps

1. Create a Workspace in the role of Incoming Encumbrancee with no financial settlement.
2. Note: If this is part of a Transfer (ie. a lift and replace encumbrance), you will most likely be invited into a Transfer Workspace by the Incoming Proprietor or Proprietor on Title.
3. Check the Land Title details screen. 
4. On the Participants screen, create your party details. 
5. Note: You will not be able to lodge your encumbrance until the Proprietor on Title has been represented in the Workspace as they are required to sign the Encumbrance. If required, invite in the Proprietor on Title now.
6. On the Documents screen, select Create Document and complete the relevant information:
   • Details of rent charge
   • Terms and conditions:
     • If you have a Land Registry Reference number for your Encumbrance, enter it into the Document Reference field.
   • Additional terms - you can either upload an attachment through the Files screen or enter in any additional terms in the free form text field. 
7. If you elected to attach additional terms, navigate to the Files screen. 
8. Select Upload File. 
9. Browse for the file you wish to upload.
   Note: The document must be uploaded in PDF format.

Other encumbrances can be ‘lifted and replaced’. As the terms specify, they do not run with the title.  The existing encumbrance is discharged as part of settlement (i.e., lifted) and a new encumbrance in the purchaser’s name in similar terms is registered at settlement (i.e., replaced).

You will see the new roles of Encumbrancee on Title and Incoming Encumbrancee when creating a new workspace in PEXA. This functionality also supports the uploading and attaching of supporting Covenants via the Files screen.

Watch a demo and webinar on SA Encumbrances below (24 mins)

1. Create a Workspace in the role of Encumbrancee on Title with no financial settlement.

Note: If this is part of a transfer (and a lift and replace is required), you will most likely be invited into a Transfer Workspace by the Incoming Proprietor or the Proprietor on Title.

2. Check the Land Title details screen. 

3. Navigate to the Participants screen, locate the party shown as Encumbrancee on Title and use the action to confirm that you represent this party. 

4. Navigate to the Documents screen, click Create Document and select Discharge of Encumbrance. 

5. Ensure the details are correct and select the appropriate Set of Operative Words for this Discharge of Encumbrance. 

6. View, Sign and Submit in the usual manner.

Transfer Guidelines | Help Centre

Transfer Guidelines - Current as at July 2021

The Transfer Guidelines, developed in close consultation with all industry stakeholders, are published to assist Subscribers with what they should be doing, and when, in order to ensure the timely and successful completion of a PEXA settlement.

We have updated the Transfer Guidelines to incorporate the newly refined Financial Settlement Summary (FSS), which has now been rolled out nationwide, and the subsequent process changes associated with this deployment. Changes have been made to Sections 11-19 in line with the FSS, previously known as the ESS. It’s important to note that this latest iteration of the Transfer Guidelines is interim – we are undertaking a broader review of the guidelines to incorporate current member feedback and to best reflect the latest established processes within the industry.

The guidelines are:

• not intended to override existing obligations between parties to a transaction, such as those contained in the Contract of Sale.
• to be read sequentially therefore start at step 1 and work through the stages that are relevant to your role. 
• not intended to cover sub divisions.
• For any escalations relating to your transaction please contact the Financial Institution via their current settlement booking line. For members that are not Financial Institutions please use the Subscriber Search functionality in PEXA to obtain their contact details. 

NOTE: You can download a PDF of the Transfer Guidelines at the bottom of the article. A copy of the old Transfer Guidelines are also attached below, for the instances where the new Financial Settlement Summary doesn’t apply.

Preparing the Financial Settlement Schedule

Last updated: 12 October 2020
Jurisdiction: ALL, except where noted

PEXA’s Financial Settlement Schedule (FSS) is a collaborative tool that contains electronic financial transaction directions for all source and destination line items. All payments are disbursed automatically at settlement, so you’ll no longer spend time waiting for cheques to clear.

On this page, you’ll learn how to:

• Enter the Balance due to Vendor amount.
• Enter destination and source line items.
• Enter extra details.
• Add shortfall or surplus amount.
• Verify and authorise the source funds.
• Sign the Financial Settlement Schedule (FSS).
• Access extra financial settlement options.
• Understand the settlement process.

Preparing the Financial Settlement Schedule

The Financial Settlement Schedule (FSS) is completed by each participant prior to finalising a transfer in PEXA. The FSS should be completed once the following has occurred:

• Relevant documents have been prepared; and
• All financial adjustments have been agreed between the parties.

Entering the Balance due to Vendor amount

Note: This section is relevant to users who have access to the Enhanced Settlement Summary (currently SA subscribers)

The Balance due to Vendor* is an agreed amount (between the Proprietor on Title and Incoming Proprietor) that the vendor will receive from the purchaser. This is calculated by purchase price, minus deposit paid, plus/minus net adjustments. The Balance due to Vendor amount is mandatory in the Workspace and the responsibility to enter and agree on this amount is shared between the Proprietor on Title and Incoming Proprietor.

Either the Proprietor on Title or Incoming Proprietor can enter this amount in the FSS. After one participant enters this amount, the other participant (for example, the Proprietor on Title if the Incoming Proprietor entered this amount, or vice versa) can agree to this amount (either via a confirmation dialog, or by signing the FSS).

*This terminology varies based on your jurisdiction:

• NSW—Amount due on Settlement
• VIC—Balance due to Vendor
• QLD—Balance due to Vendor
• SA—Balance due to Vendor by Purchaser
• WA—Balance due to effect Settlement
• ACT—Amount due to Seller

Entering line items

The Incoming Proprietor and Proprietor on Title are required to enter their destination and source line items. 

1. Click Settlement from the left-hand menu to go to the Financial Settlement Schedule screen.
   By default, the Settlement Summary tab displays, showing an itemised view of funds for both the incoming and outgoing parties.
2. Enter your financial line items:
   1. Select Sources > Add Source to enter source line items.
   2. Select Destination > Add Destination or Payments and Adjustments > Add Destination to enter destination line items or add adjustments.

The following table explains the field options that can be selected when creating Line Items in the financial Settlement Schedule.

• Land Registry fees are automatically added as a Line Item in the Destination Funds. These are collected by PEXA on behalf of the Land Registry and then passed on to the Land Registry.
• Each participant is charged a PEXA fee which will automatically be entered as Line Items in the Destination Tab.
• Unpaid Stamp Duty is automatically entered as a Line Item in the Destination Tab.
• On Saving you will be taken back to the Sources or Destination tab in the Financial Settlement Schedule. Notice that the financial Line Item is now displayed. You can edit or remove a Line Item at any time before settlement.
• Editing or removing a Line Item will cause the FSS to become Unsigned (if it had previously been Signed). In this case, communicate via PEXA Conversations ASAP.  PEXA will also send an email notification that the FSS has been Unsigned.

Underlying Account Details (source funds) and Final Account Details (destination funds)

These optional fields are relevant for practitioners representing financial institutions. Both are for informational purposes only and provide ability to include details which will appear on settlement reports.

This information does not drive any functionality in PEXA. It will appear in the financial Line Item details.

Underlying Account Details (optional field): For example, the source Financial Institution is providing loan funds and they want to record the actual loan account that the funds are coming from. 

Final Account Details (optional field): For example, where a Financial Institution or practitioner is disbursing all funds to a single account they can then enter a ‘final’ account which shows the actual account that funds are to be disbursed to after settlement; (this would be a manual movement external to PEXA). 

Adding the shortfall or vendor surplus

Note: This section is relevant to users who have access to the Enhanced Settlement Summary (currently SA subscribers)

Depending on who is assigned responsibility for handling the shortfall or the surplus amount, the buttons available on this screen will vary according to the participant’s Workspace role.

Adding the shortfall amount

1. Specify client authority to provide shortfall.
   The Incoming Mortgagee specifies (via the Transfer Indicators panel) who has authority to draw the shortfall amount from the Incoming Proprietor’s account.
   • Yes: The Incoming Mortgagee holds client authority
   • No: The Incoming Mortgagee does not hold client authority
     
     In addition, the Incoming Mortgagee can optionally enter the last four digits of the account that the shortfall will be drawn from.
2. Complete the purchaser line items.
   The Incoming Proprietor completes the purchaser line items in one of two ways:
   
   • Yes: The Incoming Mortgagee holds client authority
     Where the Incoming Mortgagee is handling shortfall, the Incoming Proprietor clicks Ready for shortfall to indicate they have finalised their line items. This notifies the Incoming Mortgagee that they may now add or update the shortfall amount in their source line items.
   • No: The Incoming Mortgagee does not hold client authority
     Where the Incoming Mortgagee is not handling shortfall, the Incoming Proprietor clicks the Mark as complete button to indicate they have completed their line items. This then enables the Ready for shortfall button, which allows them to view or add the shortfall amount in their source line item.
     
     
3. Add or update the shortfall amount.
   The participant who is assigned to handle the shortfall clicks the Add as shortfall button where they’ll then be directed to the Add/Edit Source line item entry screen. From there, they can view or edit the pre-populated shortfall amount (which is based on the new calculations built by PEXA).

Adding the vendor surplus amount

1. Assign vendor surplus responsibility.
   Either the Proprietor on Title or Mortgagee on Title specifies (via the Transfer Indicators panel) who is responsible for directing the vendor surplus.
2. Complete the vendor line items.
   The Proprietor on Title completes the vendor line items only if the Mortgagee on Title is responsible for directing the vendor surplus.
   
   In this scenario, the Proprietor on Title must click Ready for surplus to indicate they have completed their line items. This notifies the Mortgagee on Title that they may now add or update the surplus amount.
3. Add or update the vendor surplus amount.
   The participant who is directing the vendor surplus (Proprietor on Title or Mortgagee on Title) clicks the Add as vendor surplus button where they’ll be directed to the Add/Edit Destination line item entry screen. From there, they can view or edit the pr-populated the surplus amount (which is based on the new calculations built by PEXA).

Completing the Getting Started with PEXA program? See whats next.

Now that you'know how the Financial Settlement Schedule operates, learn about how you can verify and authorise funds for settlement in the article Verifying and Authorising Source Funds.

Verify and Authorise Source Funds

On this page, you’ll learn how to:

• Verify and authorise the source funds.

For source funds, where a trust account is used, you need to Verify that the funds are in the trust account and will be in the trust account at settlement. A Payment Authoriser must Authorise PEXA to instruct the Financial Institution to draw these funds from the trust account at settlement. This must be done before you Sign the Financial Settlement Schedule.

To do this:

1. Select Verify Funds from the Actions cog for that Line Item.
2. Once Verified, select Authorise Funds to Authorise PEXA to send instructions to your Financial Institution to withdraw funds from the trust account.
   

   
   Note: Authorise Funds will bring up the Signing screen so it may be best to Authorise at the end of the process, when you are also signing the Financial Settlement Schedule, if you have permissions to both Authorise and Sign the FSS. 
   Note: The source Line Item status will not move to Ready status unless funds have been Verified and Authorised.

Signing the Financial Settlement Schedule (FSS)

To Sign the FSS:

1. Select Sign from the Actions cog as shown below.
   
2. You will notice in the example screen above that the Status is In Preparation. This suggests that the other participant to the transfer may need to complete their entries or they have not Signed yet.
3. Remember that any changes made to the FSS by another participant may automatically Unsign it and you will need to re-Sign. For example any Third Party Beneficiary Line Items entered by the other participant will Unsign the FSS as this type of Line Item needs to be viewed and signed by both the Vendor and Purchasers’ Representatives.

Financial Settlement Options

There are a number of additional settlement functions you can perform in PEXA. These are available in the Financial Settlement Schedule. The following describes each of the options. 

Maintain Settlement Values

This selection is optional and used for informational purposes only. Practitioners can enter information such as deposit amounts and the total adjustment amount. 

Mantain Settlement Date

You can accept or propose a new settlement date and time here. If the settlement date changes, the FSS will automatically Unsign and a notification email will be sent to alert all participants in the Workspace that a change has been made and that they need to review the change before re-Signing it.

A change in the settlement time will not Unsign the Settlement Schedule.

Override Lodgement

You can elect to override lodgement to ensure that the financial settlement of the Workspace would proceed in the event that PEXA cannot establish or maintain communications with the Land Registry.
If all source providing Subscribers have selected this option, settlement will continue meaning that funds will be exchanged and disbursements will occur.
PEXA will continue to retry lodgement.

Activity Identified in Title Activity Check (TAC)

When activity has occurred on the Title and identified at the final Title Activity Check (TAC) 1-hour prior to settlement, the incoming participants must re-enter the Workspace to provide their agreement to proceed with settlement.

Workspace Summary Screen

At this point, both the Workspace Status and the Financial Settlement Status should be at Ready and settlement will proceed at the settlement time and date as planned. 

Note:If the Workspace Summary shows a Prepared or In Preparation status, then you will need to troubleshoot and amend the problem to move the Workspace to ‘Ready’. Amendments may result in Unsigning of documents or the FSS therefore you may need to re-Sign them.

What happens at Settlement?

What happens at Settlement?

In order to complete financial settlement, PEXA electronically sends instructions, to payment integrated Financial Institutions involved in the transaction, as well as the RBA. As the funds are exchanged, confirmations are sent back to PEXA, which are then reflected in the Workspace Summary. The following provides an outline of the settlement process and the information provided in the Workspace Summary.

• Workspace must be in READY/READY status before settlement time.
• All documents must be Signed.
• Financial Settlement Schedule must be signed and balanced.

• At settlement time, the following happens:
  • The Workspace locks.
  • The Financial Settlement Status moves to Settling.
  • If a trust account is involved, a Source Funding instruction is sent to the bank.
  • Once Source Funding is complete, Reservation is sent to the RBA (runs every 2 minutes).

• Once an RBA Reservation is received:
  • Lodgement Request is sent to the Land Registry.
  • Lodgement status moves to Lodging.

• Once Lodgement is complete, the Lodgement status moves to Lodged.
  Note: The Land Registry will commence reviewing documents.

• Once Lodgement status is Lodged, Settlement Response is sent to the RBA (runs every 2 minutes).

• The RBA will send a response once the Settlement Request has been processed.
• When the Settlement Response has been received Financial Settlement status will move to Settled - at this point Financial Settlement has been successfully and irrevocably completed.

• Once Settlement at RBA is complete, disbursement will commence, Financial Settlement status moves to Disbursing. Disbursement batch runs every 10 minutes.

• When the Land Registry has completed reviewing the documents and has provided a final status for the documents (e.g. registered or rejected) the Lodgement status will move to Completed.
• When all banks involved in settlement have returned Disbursement responses, the Financial Settlement status will move to Disbursed.

Completing a Simultaneous Settlement | Help Centre

Last updated: 5 September 2019
Jurisdiction: ALL
Additional Resources: Help Card

Overview

Simultaneous Settlement is available in PEXA and allows up to 10 PEXA Workspaces to be linked so that settlement of each Workspace occurs at the same date and time. Financial settlement for all Workspaces involved in a Simultaneous Settlement must take place at the same time on the same day. If one Workspace is unable to settle, all Workspaces in the chain will be unable to settle. Simultaneous Settlement is used on occasions when assurance is required that all settlements in a chain are successfully completed at the same time.

Interactive tutorial

See the interactive simulation below or follow the instructions to create your own. 

Click "I'd like to try it myself"! Or to launch the tutorial in a new screen, click here.  

Note: You may link two Workspaces without any funds flow. This allows you to simultaneously settle two Workspaces at the same time without the need to move funds between them.

Workspace 1: Preceding

The Proprietors on Title are selling their property and using these funds in the purchase of their new property.

Workspace 2: Trailing

The Incoming Proprietors (Purchasers) are using money from the sale of their property to help fund the purchase of their new property. 

The link can be created in either Workspace. Once either one of these are created, a link request is sent to link the selected Workspaces. Upon acceptance within the Workspace to be linked, PEXA automatically creates a linked Line Item in the Financial Settlement Schedule.  

Note: Calculations (i.e. the amount of funds that are required from the preceding Workspace to fund the Trailing Workspace), is completed outside of PEXA.

Steps

Prerequisite:

• At least two Workspaces must be created. 

Complete the financial settlement schedule - destinations

To create a linked destination Line Item in PEXA, complete the steps below in the Preceding Workspace:

1. Navigate to the Destination tab in the Financial Settlement Schedule for the selected Workspace.
2. Click Add Destination.
3. In the Category field select Linked Financial Settlement.
4. In the Linked Settlement Type field select Simultaneous.
5. Click Select Trailing Workspace.
   
   
6. Select the relevant Workspace for linked Financial Settlement Schedule screen.
   (You can search for the Workspace using the Subscriber Reference or Party Name)

   Note: A message is displayed if the Settlement date and time is not aligned for the relevant settlements. The link can be saved, but please ensure that the settlement date and time is updated to align.
   

7. Determine if there is a financial transfer between the Workspaces.
   If there are funds being transferred, then type in the amount for the destination linked account (this is the amount that will be linked to the Trailing account and used as Source Funds).
   
   

    

   If there is no funds being transferred, then select the check box to link Workspaces for simultaneous settlement without funds flow.
   
   

Accepting a linked financial settlement in the trailing Workspace

To view all details pertaining to a Workspace with linked Financial Settlement:

1. Navigate to the linked Workspace. You will notice an outstanding task to Accept or Decline Link Request in the Workspace Summary.
2. Click Accept or Decline Link Request.
   The following screen displays all details for the linked Financial Settlement Workspaces. 
   
3. The associated Workspaces are displayed according to their relationship to the current Workspace that you are in. Details for each linked Financial Settlement includes your Subscriber reference for the Workspace and the Workspace status.
4. All new link requests are displayed on this screen and you can choose to Accept or Decline. Click Accept.
   If you Accept the request: A Source Financial Line item will be added to the Financial Settlement schedule and will Unsign any previous Signings.
   Note: Your Workspace will no longer be ready to proceed with Financial Settlement. 
   If you Decline the request: Provide a reason for it in the space provided and click Confirm.
   Note: The Linked Financial Line will be removed from the proceeding Workspace. A notification will be sent to the subscribers in the preceding Workspace with the reason.
5. Navigate to the Sources tab. You will notice that the Source funds have now been populated, based on the link set up in the preceding Workspace.
   
   Note: All Workspaces involved in a Linked Financial Settlement must be at a READY -READY status for settlement to commence for the first Workspace. You can see the status of each Workspace in the link on this screen.  
6. If Settlement Date and Time are not aligned correctly, you will not move in to READY status until this has been addressed. A task appears in the Workspace Summary to remind you.
