We are proud and very excited to confirm that Elizabeth Palumbo from Kelly and Chapman’s Property Department has now conducted the firm’s first electronic conveyancing settlement using the “PEXA” platform.
New requirements for contracts of sale of real estate worth $2M or more entered into from 1 July 2016. All purchasers of such real estate must withhold 10 percent of the purchase price unless they are given a clearance certificate by the vendor.
