An update from the Office of the Registrar General
The NSW Government’s eConveyancing reforms are helping transform NSW into the world’s most efficient and secure place to buy and sell property. We have fully transitioned to eConveyancing in NSW on 1 July 2019, and all mainstream property dealings such as transfers, mortgages and discharges of mortgage, caveats and withdrawals of caveat, and transmission applications now must be lodged electronically instead of in paper.
The take up of eConveyancing in NSW has been a great success since it started in 2013. Now, 94 per cent of eligible conveyancing transactions are being completed electronically in NSW. For many conveyancers and lawyers, eConveyancing has brought:
- greater accuracy,
- fewer errors,
- more flexibility for work life balance and
- reduced the stress when trying to settle transactions.
Practitioners involved in lodging property dealings must become a subscriber to the providers of electronic lodgment services, known as ‘ELNOs’ – Electronic Lodgment Network Operators. PEXA is one, and soon there’ll be another starting in NSW, known as Sympli.
Many practitioners now use electronic services and smart technology to help them navigate e-settlements. SettleIT allows you to share the load on the administrative aspects of conveyancing, post unconditional contract exchange. With one click, you can book a SettleIT agent who will act under your instructions and provide a personalised fixed-price service. Leave the administrative tasks of your conveyancing to SettleIT so that you can focus on the more skilled facets and increase your profit margins.
SettleIT consists of a highly experienced network of settlement staff that serve over 8000 clients and process an average of 200,000 settlements per year.
