Electronic Conveyancing
At OFRM we prefer to complete your property transaction whether it be buying, selling or a transfer following a family law property settlement online through PEXA
PEXA is the Australian online settlement process which enables your property transaction to be arranged and settled between banks and lawyers online. The e-conveyancing process replaces settlement being organised through phone calls and letters and us having to physically attend a meeting with all the other parties to conduct the settlement.
With PEXA, the settlement time is arranged online, all the documents arranged and checked online before the settlement and then the transfer of money happens electronically.
What are the advantages of e-conveyancing?
- easier for you with less documents for you to sign
- money is transferred electronically so no delays waiting for cheques to clear
- avoids the risk of manual processing causing errors
- makes it much easier to deal with banks involved which will reduce the potential of settlement being delayed
- all parties check the documents prior to settlement reducing the risk of delayed settlement
- the registration of the transfer onto the property title is immediate
- no need for bank cheques to take to settlement
- much more secure to have the money and documents transferred electronically rather than us walking the streets with titles and cheques
- online avoids settlement being dependent upon post which can be very slow these days
You will need to sign an authority for us to complete the transaction through PEXA, which includes authorising us to sign the transfer on your behalf. As long as the banks involved and the lawyer for the other side are on PEXA the transaction will then take place as an econveyancing transaction.
