E-conveyancing

Buying and selling property is something most people will have experience with during their life. The legal process relating to buying and selling process is called conveyancing and thanks to legislative updates in 2010, a part of the process can now completed online.

What is e-conveyancing?

Since 2010, Queensland solicitors have been able to complete the property settlement process electronically on behalf of their client. Property transactions are completed online, through a secure platform known as PEXA (Property Exchange Australia).

Why e-conveyancing?

There are a whole host of reasons why many property transactions are now being completed online. Settling electronically helps streamline the conveyancing process by:-

reducing the chance of delays,
eliminating the need for buyers and sellers to attend their lawyer’s office to sign certain documents,
eliminating the need for purchasers to obtain bank cheques for settlement,
processing settlement funds to a vendor’s nominated account as cleared funds, so they don’t have to wait for a bank cheque to clear,
eliminating the need to attend settlement in person, and
allowing almost immediate registration of documents.

Can I do everything online?

If you are using e-conveyancing in your property transaction, your solicitor will still have an obligation to verify your identity and collect a signed client authorisation from you, allowing them to digitally sign documents on your behalf.

This can usually be done in one appointment and the rest of the process can be done over the phone, via email or in person, based on your preference.

We received fantastic service from Gerard and his team in dealing with an early acquisition issue and subsequent sale and purchase of property. Gerard and Tiffany were efficient, friendly and best of all, reasonably priced. Could not be happier. Walker Pender are first class, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Markus Jarvinen, Client

In my recent dealings with Walker Pender I found the service to be first class. A big investment in buying my home was a lot to deal with logistically, as well as the emotional rollercoaster that goes with this. Tiffany and Gerard at Walker Pender guided me the whole way and made me feel at ease. It all came down to effective communication along the way by both sides here. The settlement went off without a glitch and I am now in my new home. All thanks to the Walker Pender team! Thank you. Walker Pender is now helping me with my will and my estate planning matters to protect myself, my family and our assets.
