Dear Members,

The Registrar General of NSW Land Registry Services has announced another phase in the transition away from paper-based registration of land dealings and titles in New South Wales and 100% electronic conveyancing.
 
From 11th October 2021, paper or physical certificates of title will be abolished and these amendments will be effected through the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Act 2021.
 
All existing certificates of title will be cancelled and will no longer be issued. An “Information Notice” will be issued in lieu of a certificate of title for all property ownership in New South Wales including common property and lot property certificates of title. 
 
Land dealings (such as by-law registrations/consolidations) will only be able to be carried out electronically by a subscriber such as a lawyer, licensed conveyancer or bank, through an electronic lodgement platform, such as PEXA.
 
NSWLR has further information – click here.
 
Stay Safe and Informed!

Regards,
Leanne Habib
CEO

Question: One townhouse in our complex has a tree growing within their lot that is now covering a section of the roof and contributing to blocked gutters.

Can you please confirm whether or not it is the unit owner or the Strata’s responsibility to prune the offending tree?

Question: As a new owner can my building manager charge me $140 per access card x4 to access my lot?

Question: Can an existing Special ByLaw be amended without the legal cost of being re-written by a strata lawyer?
