QLD Land Registry have issued the following on 2 April 2020:-   In support of COVID-19 requirements, titles lodgement counters are currently closed, however, existing eConveyancing and eLodgement channels are open and continue to operate on a business-as-usual basis.  On Tuesday, over 90% of all lodgements came through one of these two channels, and the documents were processed within our usual client service standards. If you are concerned about meeting ongoing business requirements in the current environment, then it is recommended that you consider subscribing to eConveyancing or eLodgement. Subscribing to eConveyancing provides the following benefits: Settlements can be arranged and fulfilled without the need for face-to-face contact Transactions are lodged with the Titles Registry electronically Minimal delays will be experienced due to COVID-19 requirements Increased accuracy and fewer requisitions To learn more about eConveyancing and eLodgement, visit our website ...

In recent weeks, we have received feedback from our members, requesting a guide with information around the on-boarding and set-up process, for use in tandem with their initial letters to the other side’s representative, to help ensure a settlement can proceed electronically.   To support the QLD Network, we have created the attached document that can be used to send to the other party when they are not registered for PEXA. This helps consolidate the latest updates and key links in one easy-to-access resource.   Best wishes,   Morvanna ... View more

Tip of the Month! When completing Priority Notices via PEXA it is important to remember that the ACN or ARBN should not be included after the name of the Incoming Mortgagee. Land Registry have outlined on Page 14 of their Guide to Completion - Priority Notice Form that the ACN or ARBN should not be included after the name of the company.   Please note that the inclusion of the ACN or ARBN may prompt Land Registry to flag documents in the lodgement case as requiring manual examination and as a result registration may be delayed.   If you have a Financial Institution or Panel Solicitor requesting this be inserted you may need to raise same with them to avoid requisitions.   Greenhalgh Pickard Solicitors - PEXA Signing Checklist Big thanks to Harry McDonald at Greenhalgh Pickard Solicitors for sharing their PEXA Signing Checklist as well as extending an offer to assist other Members, particularly in relation to policy and procedures.    You can view their Community Post which includes the checklist and their contact details here. ...
