PEXA Settlements – What are they and what is the risk to you?
PEXA is an acronym for “Property Exchange Australia”, an electronic settlement platform. The standard-form REIQ Contract was amended recently with input from Bennett Carroll, to allow electronic settlements. eConveyancing or electronic settlements is the use of a web-based platform to conduct property settlement transactions.
Some of the key benefits include:
Real time lodgement of Titles Registry documents
Fast access to cleared funds for property sellers and agents
Greater certainty of a successful, on-time settlement
No need for physical attendance at settlement
What’s the risk?
Despite the years of phasing in, many firms are unready for this improvement. The absence of internal training and procedures at some firms creates a risk of unsafe movement of your funds.
