About e-Conveyancing

What is e-Conveyancing?
e-Conveyancing minimises the manual processes and paperwork associated with property exchange by enabling financial institutions, lawyers and conveyancers and others to transact together online.
It improves efficiency and transparency by enabling property settlements to be completed electronically with pre-populated data, real-time lodgement and streamlined processes.
The origins of e-Conveyancing
e-Conveyancing is an initiative championed by the property industry to simplify and digitise the complex process of property exchange. Instigated by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG), it’s built around an online network of members supported by PEXA.
To ensure the integrity of the network, the Australian Registrars’ National Electronic Conveyancing Council (ARNECC) has developed a regulatory framework, under which PEXA operates. Industry safeguards include the Participation Agreement, Verification of Identity (VOI) and Digital Certificates.
e-Conveyancing is currently live in five states and is a collaboration between many industry participants, including financial institutions, Land Registries and the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
Digital Transformation
PEXA is committed to supporting the property industry as it transitions towards a 100% digital future. Land Use Victoria and Landgate’s reforms requiring certain land registry instruments to be lodged electronically from 1 August 2016, marked the first phase of digital transformation for property instruments nationally. Our dedicated team is committed to working with all organisations to assist with the implementation of online conveyancing transactions.
