Just a quick note for those who might act for any government entities in WA. When doing so in PEXA you will need to add in a GPR (Government Property Register) code for your client in the Participant screen. These codes can be found via the link below, noting that you will need to enter a four-digit code in PEXA, so please ensure you use both the “Organisation Type” and “Organisation code”, eg: if you are representing the Shire of Broome, please use L001 as the GPR code. Any issues, please contact your PEXA representative or our Support team. https://catalogue.data.wa.gov.au/dataset/land-tenure/resource/4bebd715-e395-411a-8b1e-ce55a030d6fc

Hi @Rakkamac Yes, that is correct - you can proceed with these online in the same manner. Only an absolute caveat will bar the registration. Angella

Hi Everyone Did you know that you can transact on a title that is subject to a Registrar's Caveat? There is no need for the Registrar/Landgate to be in the Workspace, but you might see this on the Participants screen - there is no need to do anything with this "Unrepresented Party". Upon verification of the documents by Landgate, a warning should be displayed in the Documents screen referring to the Caveat, however, the transaction can proceed online as per usual. Such dealings will, however, not be eligible for auto-registration, and will be diverted to the usual examination queue. This will mean that it will take a bit longer for registration to be finalised. Thanks Angella

Hi @DMc In WA you can settle deals for parties with one name in PEXA. In ROL you need to enter the party's name in the surname field and in PEXA it needs to be in the first name field. You might find the Troubleshooting Guide for WA stamp duty verification useful for future reference: https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Help-Centre/Stamp-Duty-Help-Center/ba-p/61 (see the document attached at the bottom of this page). @Karolidis_and_Co - I know this was an issue previously in PEXA, but that may have changed. @JonTeh are you able to advise re parties with one name in Vic? Thanks Angella

Thanks @GeorgePolus for posting Landgate's response regarding this lodgement verification message. When lawyers/conveyancers are seeing this message we generally advise that they re-confirm all details are correct prior to signing. If they are comfortable to proceed post that, they can sign the documents, noting (as per advices from Landgate) that it will not prohibit lodgement, but auto-registration will fail (meaning that the dealing will be subject to a manual examination). It will not impact settlement to proceed on that basis. I hope that helps Angella

AngellaC · ‎14-05-2019

yes - correct. The system won't allow you to book settlements on that day.

AngellaC · ‎14-05-2019

Hi @TheDoctor It is actually correct that when there is a public holiday in both Victoria and NSW the RBA does not operate, and hence financial settlement is not available. This is outlined in our Service Charter. As far as WA is concerned, this one day of the year where we are impacted by this, has been taken into account in the Joint For General Conditions (JFGC – which forms part of the sale contract here in WA) in that it is not counted as a business day. In which case it should negate the need to settle on that day. I hope that helps, Angella

AngellaC · ‎06-05-2019

Hi @Katelyn524 and others There is further information available on our website - including the answers to a number of FAQ's: https://www.pexa.com.au/subscriber-review-process Hopefully this provides you with the information you are looking for. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎15-04-2019

Hi @LynMac Thanks for the feedback on this one. The intent of the new WS Summary was to answer the question: why isn’t my workspace ready/ready. We do show a big warning on the WS Summary page if a positive TAC is received on day of settlement. Do you think having a permanent panel to show the result of the latest TAC, which will most likely be ‘negative’, be useful? Or is there a chance it will just add more information to an already busy screen? Would be interested to get other parties' thoughts on this one, so we can determine if there is a demand for this in the market. I will do some sounding out, but if you have anyone who is keen on this, feel free to get them to comment on this thread or email me directly. Thanks Lyn Angella

AngellaC · ‎07-04-2019

Hi WA Daylight savings is over for another year and that means users in WA get an extra hour to rebook settlements, with the cut off time for rebooking now 2pm (WA time). If you have any settlements that need to be moved to a later timeslot in the day, please ensure you complete this prior to 2pm. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎07-04-2019

Hi @eminadavis As per Landgate practices, requisition notices are only issued to the Lodging Party - whether the documents are lodged in paper or via PEXA. This has been the process since 2015, see Customer Information Bulletin 265. Hope that helps Angella

AngellaC · ‎29-01-2019

Hi @PrueHUTCHINSON For urgent Workspace issues, such as you are describing, you are best placed to contact our Support Centre on 1300 084 515 who can provide you the necessary assistance in a timely manner. If there is a technical issue with OSR, then our second level tech team will liaise with them directly. Hope that helps Angella

AngellaC · ‎23-01-2019

Hi @EvelynC Great question and very timely. We are currently putting something similar together for WA users to reference when dealing with stamp duty verification errors as we know this is causing some issues out there. We will be sure to share this with the Community and our industry bodies to ensure everyone has access to the information. Stay tuned! Angella

AngellaC · ‎11-01-2019

The Bunbury legal and conveyancing community have been getting together for some months now for regular breakfast catch ups to talk all things e-conveyancing. It's so great to see the industry working together to help each other as we move forward to a 100% digital lodgement environment - sharing tips, tricks, experiences and of course, breakfast. I was happy to step in to Ryan Clarke's (their regular PEXA attendee @RyanC) shoes whilst he is on leave and enjoy a lovely breakfast by the water with the Bunbury practitioners, and also @Morri, David Morrisey from BankWest/CBA who is also a regular attendee and Bunbury local. Big shout out to @Leisa for organising and getting everyone involved. Thanks for having me guys and keep up the great collabo ration!

AngellaC · ‎09-12-2018

Just confirming that this scenario can be completed via PEXA in WA for any WA subscribers out there (as long as there is no FHOG involved).

AngellaC · ‎05-12-2018

Hi @mli89 The PEXA fees (for both parties) and lodgement fees will be auto-populated in the Financial Settlement Schedule upon successful document verification by the land registry. You can pre-determine the fees applicable and "pre-balance" your FSS prior to these fees populating, so that when the documents are verified, and the fees auto-populate your FSS should then balance. Once your inputs are in the FSS you can sign off at any time (or you can choose to wait until it is finalised). The applicable PEXA fees can be found here: https://www.pexa.com.au/pricing And you might find this further information useful: https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Help-Centre/PEXA-Fees-and-Lodgement-Fees-FAQs/ba-p/2820 Hope this helps Angella

AngellaC · ‎04-12-2018

We made it! Hi Everyone Very excited to say that 1 December has now past and we are operating in WA under the electronic document lodgement requirements as set by Landgate. Thanks to all those within the industry who have worked so hard to get us to this point - it truly has been a collaborative effort. I hope you are all using the new coversheet when lodging paper documents with Landgate. Further details: https://www0.landgate.wa.gov.au/for-individuals/legislation-and-reform/electronic-conveyancing Please feel free to continue to post any questions or queries you may have to this post and we will be sure to get back to you, or feel free to reach out to our support team or your PEXA Direct Specialist, or search our Community pages for the information. Angella

AngellaC · ‎04-12-2018

Hi @NicC You can have your PEXA profile activated to lodge documents in WA without the need for a Revenue Online (ROL) account. However, you will not be able to transact in any capacity that has a stamp duty implication, eg: acting for the purchaser. You will however be able to lodge documents such as mortgages, caveats and also act for a seller. In order to have WA noted as an active jurisdiction within PEXA you will need to provide us with certain information, such as land registry contact details. Our support team can provide guidance on this. Once we have a written request and the necessary information, we can activate WA as a jurisdiction in which your firm can lodge documents via PEXA. With regards to registering for ROL, OSR WA will consider applications from lawyers from other states, but there are requirements that need to be met before they will approve the applications. OSR will assess each application and notify the applicant if further information is required. You might like to reach out to OSR to discuss further. Upon finalising your ROL account, and advising PEXA of the details, you will then be able to also act for the purchase in a transfer transaction. Hope that helps, Angella

AngellaC · ‎03-12-2018

Further to the above regarding Duplicate Holding Instructions in WA, to further clarify: - when you are discharging a second mortgage and there is a Duplicate CT Issued - you do not need to enter any Holding Details, as the first mortgagee will hold the CT. If you are getting lodgement errors, please make sure that the "Duplicate Issuing Details" in the Lodgement Instructions is noted as "Please Select" (as the default position is "No Duplicate to Issue"). You should then be able to obtain a successful lodgement verification from the land registry and proceed to sign and lodge your instructions. - when you are discharging a stand alone first mortgage and there is a Duplicate CT issued, you will need to enter both the "Duplicate Holding Details" and the "Duplicate Issuing Details" - and select that a Duplicate is to issue, as a stand alone discharge of mortgage cannot change the title issuing instructions (as per land registry requirements). As such, you will need to have a new CT Issued post the discharge of mortgage.

Hi @MarcusLiley You might find using the new PEXA Plus Dashboard meets your requirements in terms of accessing settlements in date order. This view is designed to help parties determine the most pressing tasks and settlements. You can access this via: plus.pexa.com.au or via the Single sign on in your PEXA Dashboard (the set of 9 small squares in the top right hand corner). Further information can be found here: https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Frequently-Asked-Questions/Introducing-PEXA-Plus/ba-p/7205 We are continuing to expand out this offering, so please feel free to provide feedback within PEXA Plus. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎25-11-2018

Hi @DMc Currently when there is a positive TAC, this does show in a panel notification in the Workspace Summary screen. Within this panel, there is a link to 'View Activity', which currently opens up the Land title page where you can scroll down to the TAC details to view the activity. In our next release 9.0.1 (scheduled for 8 December), an enhancement is being made to show the title activity directly from the WS summary page. Hope that answers your question. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎25-11-2018

Hi @louisaharris Thanks for your query of OSR. We have reached out to OSR and they have advised that they will respond as soon as possible. I will be sure to follow them up and respond to your query as soon as I have the information to hand. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎25-11-2018

Hi @DMc Thanks for the question regarding the new TAC changes in WA post Release 9.0. As part of the release, we have updated the Title Activity Check (TAC) in Western Australia to ensure that a positive TAC is displayed only for new activities on the land title that has not been previously returned. This ensures that incoming parties are not having to repeatedly provide approval for activities that were previously approved. On the day of settlement, if a positive TAC is returned, the incoming parties will only need to ‘confirm settlement execution’ if a new title activity has been returned from the Land Registry for the first time. All subsequent TAC responses received for the same activity will be displayed as no activity against the Land Title. This change now aligns the behaviour of WA TACs to all other jurisdictions. You can read more on this on the TAC page in Community: https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Help-Centre/Title-Activity-Checks/ba-p/49 Hope this helps. Angella

AngellaC · ‎25-11-2018

One question we do often get asked is around the scope for lodging caveats against only one registered proprietor where there are two or more registered proprietors on title. At this point, only caveats impacting ALL registered proprietors on title can be lodged online. Those caveats described above can continue to be lodged in paper post 1 December with the use of the Request to Accept Paper Lodgement Cover Sheet (available https://www0.landgate.wa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/66538/Request-to-accept-paper-lodgement-v1.0.pdf). You can read the full details of what documents are eligible for online lodgement on Landgate's Electronic Conveyancing page: https://www0.landgate.wa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/16450/Eligible-documents-for-paperless-conveyancing.pdf

Morning All Brook from Landgate and I are here in the Perth PEXA office and ready to answer your questions about e-conveyancing and the 1 December 2018 compliance date. Please feel free to post any queries for OSR also, and they will get back to you as soon as possible. Look forward to hearing from you all. Angella

AngellaC · ‎24-11-2018

WA held their seventh Industry Symposium on Friday 23 November and the last before the 1 December compliance date, as set by Landgate. These sessions have been running for the last 12 months, bringing together banks, lawyers, conveyancers, the SRO and Landgate in the one room to discuss and seek resolution for any concerns or issues parties might be facing as we head towards 1 December. It's been a great forum for everyone to better understand the processes and key points for other parties in the buying-selling equation, with the realisation that all parties are seeking the same end goal - to provide the best possible service for the mutual client - the buyer or seller themselves. It's been a testament to everyone involved that we have seen some tangible outcomes and improvements in key metrics across the board over the course of the last 12 months. I wanted to say a big thanks to all those who have been involved in these sessions over the last year, especially those who have flown in from interstate for each session to understand the WA market better. Preparing for 1 December Landgate provides a transaction eligibility list which can be found on their e-Conveyancing webpage while OSR provide insight on their e-Conveyancing page and in their transaction guidelines. PEXA resources To help prepare for 1 December, PEXA’s training team are hosting a number of webinars to help you get ready. The list of webinars, registration links and videos of previous sessions can be found here . We are really excited about 1 December - thank you to everyone again for their commitment to the cause!

AngellaC · ‎25-09-2018

Today, Landgate do not enable titles having one or more proprietors on title in capacity (for example as Executor) eligible for electronic lodgement. PEXA continues to work with Landgate and WA OSR to expand the scope of titles and documents available for electronic lodgement.

AngellaC · ‎12-06-2018

Thanks for your query At this point in PEXA you can only lodge or withdraw a caveat over whole of land in WA. Please refer to the Landgate Eligible Documents list: https://www0.landgate.wa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/16450/Eligible-documents-for-paperless-conveyancing.pdf We do not yet have a definitive timeframe for when this will be available, but are working with Landgate on increasing the scope of eligible documents and will advise the market as more documents/scope become available. Hope that helps Angella

AngellaC · ‎02-05-2018

Hi @SarahI Yes, you can complete a PEXA transfer when acting for the seller who has a power of attorney. You would need to undertake the normal due diligence as to the identity and authority of the PoA in the first instance, as you would in a paper world. You also need to obtain a Client Authorisation Form from the PoA, in addition to completing a VOI. I hope that answers your query. Thanks Angella

AngellaC · ‎17-04-2018

Hi Jessica In WA there is no ability to lodge additional documents with your national mortgage form. There is the ability for free text within the document, but this has a limit of 4,000 characters, which generally does not cover the more bespoke mortgages out there. The options are to either 1) register a "mostly generic" MCP with Landgate and reference this in your mortgage, adding in the specifics for this deal in the free text box; or 2) reference the conditions in the loan agreement and refer to this instrument in the free text box in the mortgage form. I cannot comment on the enforcability/legalities around the options however, so will leave it to you investigations. We are seeing most parties register the MCP at Landgate. I hope that helps somewhat. Angella
