Hi, We act for an Executor, registered on title. Westpac previously nominated the title to allow the Transmision to register in 2019. The property has now been sold. A discharge of mortgage was lodged by email and was acknowledged on 3 May 2021. Settlement of the property is due on 19 May 2021. Suddenly and out of the blue, yesterday 13 May 2021 w Westpac "declined" our invitation with the following message and has disappeared from the workspace: "Hi team-could you please provide the Westpac customer number or the BSB and account number as we are unable to verify the customer's details in the Westpac database. Regards" We had loaded in the Files, a copy signed discharge authority that had been emailed, and copy correspondence from the previous Transmission with Z number and matter reference. The fact that Westpac cannot locate the customer's details in their data base seems ridiculous as they are registered mortgagees. They have simply abandoned the workspace and left the whole transaction in limbo. We have been unable to get through on the Solicitor hotline, and as this message is being prepared, have been on hold for 25.34m. No one is taking responsibility. As Westpac have delined the invitation we cannot initiate a conversation, and we are left, with settlement due on 19th May, effectively having to start all over again. Is there anywhere or anyone at Westpac that can assist?

Hi, please see Fees, guides and forms (land.vic.gov.au) and you will find the Guide to applying for a new Folio of Register You can do in in PEXA in residual documents. This guide sets out the requirements to lodge an Application for new folio of the Register – form 11, under the Transfer of Land Act 1958. This form is used to apply for a new Folio of the Register. Cheers

Hi, the requirements for related party transactions are: Related party including associated or fractional interest transfers | State Revenue Office (sro.vic.gov.au) I have recently completed 2 or 3 related party transactions on this basis, without any requirement for bank statements The additional requirements regarding evidence of bank statements etc. is usually only in the circumstance where settlement has taken place, and you are attempting to obtain a refund. Is that the case in your circumstances?

cstewart · ‎06-11-2020

Hi, nothing's a stupid question when you are starting out. The PEXA support team are wonderful, so give them a call and they will walk through it with you. Good luck in your PEXA journey, you will learn it very quickly.

Hi, have you created the workspace as CT Controller?

cstewart · ‎10-08-2020

This is really a great result. It is an example of a full team approach when Subscribers really do have a voice and PEXA took up the request and ran with it. Thank you. Now to push the envelope a little, and we all like a challenge - In the circumstances of Transmission and Survivorship Applications, we still have to draft a standalone Notice of Acquisition Smart Form on the SRO website. Will a NOA be generated in the Workspace (as for transfer workspaces) at some time in the future for these types of documents. Cheers all

Thank you @JonTeh An email process is fine, but what email address is chosen by Land Use Victoria. Currently we have not received any emails for the s104 lodgements I have completed.

cstewart · ‎14-05-2020

@stephec0 Great suggestion; I to have problems with the delay in reconciliation.... My accounts department usually has to chase up by general email to the firm, as I have not yet received the mail notification prior to the direct debit taking place.

cstewart · ‎08-04-2020

@JonTeh This is wonderful news. We experience difficulty every time we try to lodge a S173 paper dealing (over part land eg. unregistered plan in play) as it doesn't meet PEXA requirements. We have to go to the LTO and experience push back every time... Now, it appears that problem is solved so it will make things so much easier in those circumstances.

cstewart · ‎02-04-2020

Are you selecting from Other Documents - you should select the Action - s32 document and it will initiate the document for you to complete.

cstewart · ‎16-03-2020

Hi, are in you Victoria? If so, you can just nominate them into the existing workspace, as the Incoming Mortgagee will have included them in their Mortgage document.

cstewart · ‎05-03-2020

Hi, PEXA can you confirm if your adjustments calculator include this year's Leap Year. We are finding a difference between some software packages, with incoming adjustments and the amounts calculated in the PEXA workspace. Best to know now so we know which one is right :) Thank you.

cstewart · ‎04-02-2020

Hi see RECORD - LEASE Transfer of Land Act - section 66, in Residual Documents. See Land Use Victoria for requirements to lodge a residual document https://www.propertyandlandtitles.vic.gov.au/forms-guides-and-fees/electronic-lodgment/key-documentation

Good morning, I have been dealing with City West Water in relation to this issue. For certainty their notification should be read as: the form of Notice of Acquisition that is prepared in PEXA should be printed to pdf. and attached to an email to the water authority (and applicable council). They do not want to receive the electronic NOA smart form from the SRO web site. Their preferred email address is <NoticeofSale@citywestwater.com.au I have been using this process successfully with the other water authorities. Cheers,

cstewart · ‎24-01-2020

Yes @khowe Application S32 for new folio is available in Residual Documents.

cstewart · ‎24-01-2020

Hi @KR, not necessarily. As a subscriber we have an automated debit for PEXA service fees, they are not automatically loaded into the FFS destination schedule when we act for either a Vendor or a Purchaser. We have to enter this $114.07 amount ourselves in our destinations. For subscribers without an automated debit set up, I can't comment as I don't know. Kind regards,

Hi, I believe you should approach Westpac. The Bank of Melbourne was established in July 1989, following the granting of a banking licence to the RESI Statewide Building Society , with a listing on the Australian Stock Exchange following on 13 July 1989. The RESI Statewide Building Society was granted a banking licence and established the Bank of Melbourne in July 1989, listing it on the Australian Stock Exchange on 13 July 1989. On 3 April 1997, Westpac made a $1.43 billion bid to acquire the Bank of Melbourne; on 29 September 1997, holders of 96% of the ordinary shares of the Bank of Melbourne voted to approve the proposal. Conditions of approval for the takeover required Westpac to continue operating the entity as the Bank of Melbourne for three years. The entity traded under that brand name until January 2004, at which point the brand name was replaced with Westpac. [1]

Hi, the $114.07 is a service fee payable by a Subscriber for using the PEXA workspace. It is not a registration fee for Land Use Victoria. If you have set up an automatic debit, this fee will be debited from your nominated bank account. If it has been agreed that the purchaser pays your fees, then they can set up a destination line making payment to you (as a reimbursement) to your nominated bank account. Hope that helps.

Hi @coofitz Please refer to NSW Help Cards in Community. Very valuable resource Standalone Lease NSW v3.pdf ‏328 KB

cstewart · ‎23-01-2020

Hi @TDD Easiest way:- You should open the document and save it to your desk top. Then go to Files in the workspace, press Upload and browse for your desktop, locate the document and select. Then go to the cog next to the document and Upload. Good Luck

Good morning, Just successfully lodged our first s14 - non survey Conversion Application on PEXA, uploaded legal practitioner certificate, s26J search and checklist as supporting documents; process very simple and avoids attendance at LUV. Awaiting registration and issue of new folio.

Hi Brianna, this may start being an issue in Victoria also. Currently we set up a Notification to the agent, which is an email from Hunt & Hunt (via PEXA platform) that settlement has taken place, and that they can account to deposit money held in trust to their company in its own right for commission expenses. It is provided to ensure "real time" notification of settlement and facilitate key release. We have started to get phone calls from agents asking us to confirm settlement has taken place, although they have the email and in one settlement this week, we were asked for an additional letter on letterhead. Hopefully this won't escalate, as the email notification system works well. Kind regards,

cstewart · ‎11-11-2019

Thank you @JonTeh As we act for a deceased estate, information is limited. However I am pleased to advise we have located a provisional folio; The search result on address showed a "Nil" result; but a search for the deceased proprietor was successful. Cheers

cstewart · ‎04-11-2019

Hi, I note that a non-survey general law conversation (TLA s14) is now a residual document process under PEXA. When creating a workspace, PEXA does not recognise the Book/Memorial reference, and requires a vol/fol to validate, before I can get to the document preparation. How do I deal with this roadblock? Has anyone done one of these yet? It will no doubt be a work in progress, so if not I will work through, and report on completion with any "handy hints"

cstewart · ‎23-10-2019

Hi Rebecca, Perpetual are often the custodians only for a number of lenders, for example I liaise with them in relation to Bendigo & Adelaide Bank matters. If they are registered on title. Have you tried the PEXA qualifier tool? Hope that might help. https://www.pexa.com.au/qualifier-tool

cstewart · ‎23-10-2019

Hi Thanh, I refer to our communication last year (copied below) ThanhHa ‎12-04-2018 07:47 AM 19607 VIEWS 21 COMMENTS @cstewart the Transmission requires that all Legal Personal Representatives are represented by the same Participant. Has this changed? We have two executors, represented by two practitioners, neither will budge in relation to representation, as they are in dispute. How do we get a Transmission registered - is this sufficient reason for LTO to accept a paper lodgement? Regards, Thanh

cstewart · ‎26-09-2019

Hi KR, I find that in these types of scenarios where the contract details/additional folios don't reflect well in the PEXA initated form; it is best to prepare a Smart Form NOA on the SRO website, and use this to send off to council, water and (if applicable) OC management. I also, dependent upon the situation send one to Land Victoria with a covering letter, just for certainty. Hope this helps
