Getting your settlement to a READY READY status involves correctly completing all of your client details, documents and financial details.
Use the below as a check point to help you identify why your settlement may not be in a Ready Ready state and to help you identify if all of the tasks for your transaction have been completed.

Participants Screen
Have all the participants been correctly represented or invited?
If not all the parties have been represented create a 'Conversation' or get in touch with the relevant party to prompt them to complete this task or Invite the participant to join the workspace.
Are any of the participants marked with the following symbol:
This indicates that the participant details are incomplete - edit the participant or ask the relevant party to edit their participant.
Documents Screen
Are all the documents created?
If not, create the document or start a conversation with the relevant participant to create their document.
Do any of the Documents have Status of 'In Preparation'?
This Indicates that there is information missing from the document. Edit the document, fill out all the required information and select 'Save'.
NOTE:
If you are completing a transaction in WA, the 'Property Information' must be completed also to allow the document status for the Transfer to move to 'Prepared'
If you are completing a Transfer in Victoria both a future correspondence and a current correspondence address is required for the Incoming Proprietor (IP) and Proprietor on Title (POT)
If you are completing a Transfer in QLD or SA a Future Correspondence address is required for the Proprietor on Title and Incoming Proprietor
NOTE: In NSW, QLD, WA and SA your Transfer document will not move to a Status of 'Prepared' until the Stamp Duty has been completed.
Does your document have a 'Document Status' of 'UNSUCCESSFUL'?
Select the word Unsuccessful - the screen will expand and the error from the Land Registry will be visible -now you can understand why you have an error and what needs to be updated. Once the issue has been fixed ensure any documents with a status of 'In Preparation' are edited and saved. This will re-trigger Lodgement Verification (this is the communication between PEXA and the Land Registry) and bring your documents to a status of 'Prepared' and the Document Verification Result of 'Successful'.
Have the Documents been signed?
Check the Signatures column in the Documents Screen. This will indicate how many signatures are required on each document and if the document owners have signed. For further information on who has signed, select the signature column for that document, the screen will expand and give you further details.
Select the document verification result or signatures to expand the screen for further information
Settlement Screen
Has everyone accepted the settlement date and time?
This is viewable under the Settlement tab.
- 'Accepted' indicates all parties have accepted the date and time.
- 'Pending Others' indicates not everyone has accepted. Select the word 'Pending Others' to identify who has not accepted the settlement date and time.
- Not Accepted indicates you have not accepted the settlement date and time
Do the Source Funds and Adjustments and Payments balance?
There are three tabs along the top of this screen:
Settlement Summary
Source Funds (money paying for the trasnaction
Adjsutmnets and payments (Cheque Directions)
Do the $ values displayed the 'Source Funds' and 'Adjustments and Payments' balance? - a settlement will not execute in PEXA unless these are balanced.
If the amounts are not balanced you will need to identify the error by ensuring all destinations line items are correct and all have been added. You will also need to ensure that the Vendors funds have been reduced by the amounts owed by the vendor including their conveyancing fee and PEXA Service fee.
Do you need to add Source Funds? Is your client providing money for the settlement?
Are all of the source funds at Ready status? (if using funds in trust, have the funds been signed off by an authorised trust account user?)
Select the Source tab to identify if they are Ready
Further information on getting your source funds to ready can be found here.
Has everyone signed the Financial settlement Schedule?
To determine who has signed the Financial Settlement schedule, scroll to the bottom of the Settlement Summary tab.
Has there been a positive Title Activity Check on the day of settlement?
