Thank you so much for 'Katrina's Solution'! I just had yet another bank today send a Conversation to all Workspace participants regarding our client's loan. I send a note through the Feedback tab every time this happens, but it looks like restricting the bank's ability to message particular parties is the only way to stop them. ... View more

This is PEXA and the banks' response to the issue: https://community.pexa.com.au/t5/Bank-Blog/Clarification-on-Financial-Institution-Requests-for-copy-of/ba-p/14814   Basically, you can send the bank a screenshot of the transfer details and this should be sufficient. ... View more

@JonTeh wrote: Can I manually change the settlement date submitted by SRO? The PEXA platform will not allow you to manually change the settlement date provided by the SRO to an earlier date.   However, if for some reason the transaction rolls-over and does not settle on the predetermined date, there is a grace period of three business days. If the transaction doesn’t settle within these three business days, a new assessment will be required, and an additional 30 calendar days will be added to the transaction. So the only way we can settle on the contracted settlement date is to lodge documents with SRO for assessment exactly 30 days before the settlement date? What if that falls on a Sunday or a public holiday? That is completely illogical and unacceptable. This needs to be fixed before it goes live. I understand the need for documents to be lodged at least 30 days before settlement to give SRO time to complete their assessment, but we should not be penalised for getting the documents ready and uploaded 34+ days before settlement. ...

Thank you for your reply Sonia, it's encouraging to hear that FI's are considering this issue and that this might be rectified shortly.   In our case, it was two law firms acting for smaller lenders who changed the settlement date, one acting for Mortgagee on Title and one acting for Incoming Mortgagee. We haven't had this issue with the bigger banks. ... View more

Thanks, George. I haven't seen a Land Tax Certificate with BPay details on it. Do you mean the land tax assessments that are sent to the owner by SRO? ... View more

MSA and Gadens both have pages with links to discharge authorities.   Here is MSA: http://www.msanational.com.au/discharge-forms.htm Here is Gadens: https://da.gadens.com/DischargeAuthorities   Qudos used to be called Qantas Credit Union, so you should be able to use that discharge authority. ...

Hi Jonathan,   The Notice of Acquisition prints with the 'Back' button and 'Help' and 'Feedback' tabs visible. I would definitely suggest having it generate a proper PDF of the Notice of Acquisition, like PEXA does with the Settlement Completion Record. As it is currently, this isn't enough of a professional-looking format for us to use to send to the Council and Water Authority. ... View more
