Some great insights into the efficiencies that can be achieved through the combined use of PEXA + InfoTrack! More and more firms across the country are now choosing to access PEXA via integrated practice management software, appreciating that they can avoid re-keying property and client information across both systems. @SilverthornConveyancing, you are in excellent hands with @KarenBarr looking after you as we race towards '100% digital' here in Victoria.

Congratulations, Mai, Tram, and @jasonli! I echo Linda's sentiments - it can be bittersweet graduating firms from our PEXA Direct program . We love getting to know our practitioners, as we work with them over a period of time in their own offices, get to know their teams and way they work. That said, it is amazing to watch them develop into competent PEXA users, and no longer need our assistance. @jasonli, I love that you can just as easily set up your settlements on the farm as in the city - keep the photos coming!

Great insight into the efficiencies PEXA can offer to the business of a practitioner and their clients. Next step, @LisaSpinelli, a cross-jurisdictional simultaneous settlement - should be easy to find one, operating on the border!

Completely understand, @SarahF, and thanks for your support! If it helps at all, we will shortly be able to facilitate transfer of eCT control in PEXA which should provide efficiencies when clients change practitioners, banks have panel firms doing their mortgage processing work, and loans are paid out allowing banks/panel firms to transfer control to a proprietor on title's representative.

Hi @SarahF, If you wish to convert a pCT to an eCT as a standalone transaction in Victoria, this will need to be done directly with Land Use Victoria by lodging an administrative notice. There is some more information on their website here about this. If your practice is in possession of a number of pCTs, arrangements can be made with Land Use Victoria to facilitate a bulk conversion of those (like what the four major banks did in October last year). Hope this helps.

A wonderful night spent hearing stories of how @LindaT's clients adopted and embraced PEXA in their practices. Congratulations must also be extended to B.O.S.S Conveyancing who are now PEXA Certified (pictured are Sally and Carmen from B.O.S.S receiving their trophy).

A big congratulations to Eureka Conveyancing, BJT Legal, Foundation Legal and H.C Curwen-Walker for recently graduating the PEXA Direct program. They’re now all PEXA Certified and competent PEXA-users. From the word go, Ballarat embraced electronic conveyancing. They are a great example of regional areas in Australia reaping the benefits of transacting online – saving them a two-hour round-trip into the Melbourne CBD when they have city settlements. Great work, Ballarat!

We recently welcomed the team at Jennifer Feeney & Co Lawyers to PEXA, and now have the pleasure of training Jennifer Feeney and Patricia McGuane (pictured below) through our PEXA Direct program. Jennifer Feeney and Patricia McGuane have 18 years’ conveyancing experience, and are eagerly anticipating settling their first transaction in PEXA later this month. Patricia in particular was keen to join PEXA as she not only ‘loves to try new things,’ but is also conscious of the environment and happy to save paper where possible. She was pleased to learn that the need to print and post land registry forms to a client is not required when settling in PEXA, as document preparation and signing occurs electronically. Every file in the office is now being assessed with a view to settling as many as possible online. We look forward to working with Jennifer, Patricia and their practice manager, Bichon Frise Lenny.

Interesting thought, Peter. Here in Victoria, ARNECC's Client Authorisation Form will be required for paper transactions from 3 April 2017 per the Registrar's requirements for paper conveyancing transactions. I think this alignment of electronic and paper processes will really assist practitioners be prepared for settlements in either electronic or paper format, removing the need for them to turn their minds to how a settlement may be effected when they open their file. I acknowledge this does not cater for some of the other documents required for a property settlement, and would likewise be interested to hear the thoughts of others.

These events have really brought home to me the extent to which the whole industry - lawyers, conveyancers, banks, land registries and revenue offices - is involved in, and dedicated to, the digital transformation. It's great to have PEXA, Land Victoria, the State Revenue Office and Stewart Title in the same room at the same time, sharing with practitioners what we are all working on to make their property transactions easier, and more beneficial for their clients. Popular questions at the events we have held to date have focused on what further changes are in the pipeline from PEXA, Land Victoria and the SRO, and how we can help prepare attendees for those, and we are happy to share our thoughts on this topic. We look forward to meeting more practitioners in regional Victoria as these events are rolled out across the state.

Last Tuesday, we held our first Victorian industry event in the gold rush town of Ballarat. The event was organised with the kind assistance of the Ballarat & District Law Association, for which we are grateful. More than 40 local practitioners gathered at Federation University to hear PEXA, Land Victoria and the State Revenue Office speak about the digital transformation our industry is currently undertaking, and what they need to be aware of to ensure they are a step ahead of the changes. We were also joined by Stewart Title, speaking about lodgement gap cover, and Bank of Melbourne, who are a new sponsor of the Ballarat & District Law Association. Almost all of the practitioners in attendance had used PEXA in their practices, allowing for some great conversations to be had over coffee and cake after the event. One local law firm had completed nine settlements on PEXA and weren’t looking back! We look forward to working with lawyers and conveyancers in Ballarat as they transition to 100% digital. L-R Robyn Cousens (Stewart Title), Joel Cullinane (PEXA), Paul Major (Land Victoria), Andrew Tyrrell (PEXA), Paul McKee (State Revenue Office), Megan Tennyson (PEXA), Heather Crichton (PEXA)

I agree with @Sam_Elder. Of course, if a purchaser is not borrowing to complete their purchase, the workspace is probably best opened following exchange.
