Conveyancing is the transfer of ownership of any property or estate from any person/s or company (as the case may be) to another.
Conveyancing not only applies to those people who are selling or purchasing properties, but can also be the result of a gift or a devise by Will of a deceased estate. The role of SDA Conveyancing is to ensure that a clear Electronic OR Paper Title is conveyed in a simple yet effective and complete matter.
The world of Electronic Conveyancing
For over a decade, the idea of replacing the previous practice of handling bank cheques and legal documents at settlement with an electronic system has been an aspirational dream. However, after the commitment of many hours of work and resources by Governments, Conveyancers, Solicitors, Banks and Private Investors, PEXA (Property Exchange Australia) has arrived.
Settlement in PEXA is similar to the way settlements occur in the Stock Exchange. It means a safer, quicker and more efficient method of electronically settling a transaction, transferring funds and registering documents.
This firm will always be responsible for the legal work required to be undertaken to ultimately achieve a satisfactory settlement on your behalf. Whilst certain aspects of the electronic part of the conveyance may be undertaken by our office, this firm has chosen to use the services of a specialized electronic settlement agency to complete the work associated with the final settlement processes.
We also believe that it is ultimately a more efficient way to complete settlement (similar to when matters were settled in the original paper based format and a settlement agent was appointed).
With the Government mandated deadline of August 2019 to move all property transactions online (with the majority having already moved online from October 2018), part of the requirement for matters being conducted in the electronic format is for the execution of a Client Authorisation Form allowing your legal representative and settlement representative to transact and act on your behalf in the electronic platform in accordance with government requirements.
Part of the purpose of the Government’s requirement for the introduction of electronic settlement, was an attempt to regulate and ensure that fraud is minimized. This is being achieved by the introduction of a Verification of Identity (VOI) requirement for all sellers and buyers of property.
If you have any queries in relation to this aspect of the transaction, please contact our office.
