24.01.2022 "Paper-based settlement, a process virtually unchanged for a century, will soon be completely digitised in Australias key real estate markets, allowing lawyers, conveyancers and financial institutions to complete settlement online instead of in person."

23.01.2022 A quick COVID-19 update. We are continuing to operate as usual offering our full services. Our staff are all working remotely but we will attend the office by appointment when needed for services such as witnessing documents and undertaking verification of identity. We are available by phone during business hours and are happy to conduct meetings by Zoom. We have systems in place for documents to be signed securely and paper-free via DocuSign. ... Our online forms are always available at www.ballaratpt.com.au/resources so you can order section 32 statements make payments to our trust account and advise us of bank account details for settlement purposes 24/7. More forms are coming soon. Appointment bookings can now be made and managed via our website also - http://www.ballaratpt.com.au/contact-us/ Take care. Stay well.

23.01.2022 Another PEXA transaction successfully settled by Ballarat Property Transfers this morning. With PEXA, every document is electronic and approved in advance so we know before settlement that everything will go through on time. The government is now working on making all property settlements electronic in future and doing away with paper--based transactions.

22.01.2022 We have just made contacting us even easier with our new dedicated SMS number 0488 826 226 (during business hours)

22.01.2022 Christmas is Coming

21.01.2022 Need a section 32 statement for the sale of your property? Use our new online form at ballaratpt.com.au\resources to get all the required information to us for the quickest turnaround

21.01.2022 Do you want an energy efficient house? To ensure an energy efficient house you must deal with the following items in the order as listed 1. Water 2. Air... 3. Vapour 4. Thermal (star rating) Hang on! Why is thermal at number 4? It is at number 4 because it wont work unless you address 1, 2 & 3. 1. If water gets into the structure via rain, flood or leaks, air and vapour will also certainly get in. Wet insulation doesnt work. A wet structure causes health issues and structural damage. (Thermal doesnt work). 2. If Air gets into the structure it carries dust, toxins, pollen, and MOISTURE which in turn causes health issues and structural damage. Air moving through insulation also dramatically decreases the performance of the insulation. Air leakage from the building can also equate to up to 60% of your heating/cooling bill. (Thermal doesnt work). 3. If Vapour gets trapped in a structural assembly it can condense on an internal surface. Again, this MOISTURE causes health issues and structural damage. (Thermal doesnt work). So, when we talk about increasing the thermal performance of a building it is important to get our priorities right. Increasing from 6 stars to 7 or 8 stars wont work unless we address items 1-3. Increasing insulation values can actually make our moisture problems worse if we treat Thermal in isolation and dont address moisture & air management. At the international Builders' Show I had a discussion with building scientist, Mark LaLiberte, from Construction Instruction . He said, Treating Thermal in isolation is insane. You need to address Water, Air and Vapour first then thermal will follow nicely. If you focus on thermal without a good moisture and air managment strategy youre asking for trouble.

20.01.2022 We will close for the Christmas break at 12 midday on Friday 22 December 2017 and will return on Monday 8 January 2017.

20.01.2022 Next Friday 11 November is Ballarat Show Day, a public holiday in Ballarat. We will be closed for the day but back as usual on Monday 14th.

19.01.2022 Our office will be closed for the Ballarat Show public holiday on Friday 10 November 2017 being the public holiday chosen by City of Ballarat for 2017. Melbourne Cup Day - Tuesday 7 November - is NOT a public holiday in Ballarat and so our office will be open as usual on that day.

18.01.2022 Christmas is coming- but we still have time!

08.01.2022 Don't be scared of PEXA! -

07.01.2022 Interesting way of geting around the law...

03.01.2022 Property Exchange Australia (PEXA) - the national electronic conveyancing settlement system has been with us for over a year now. We use it for all our settlements, where the other parties involved are ready and willing to use it also. 75% of all our settlements are now being done this way, eliminating the need for paper documents, attendance at settlements, last-minute checking of documents and potential errors. By 1st July 2019, use of PEXA for all property transactions will be compulsory in Victoria.

03.01.2022 PEXA has been getting some bad press over the last few days. Some news reports have stated that the PEXA system was hacked leading to couple being defrauded of $250,000. The truth is, the email of the conveyancers involved was hacked, not PEXA. This allowed someone to log into PEXA and change account details. The conveyancer then certified the transactions and securely signed off on them without checking the detail. PEXA is safe- it is up to the professionals using it to check details properly.

02.01.2022 Just a reminder that we will be closed this Friday for the public holiday

02.01.2022 A great networking opportunity for all Ballarat business owners

01.01.2022 We are members of Property Exchange Australia. The future of conveyancing is here. We have already processed a number of electronic settlements. Less paperwork, more certainty and better security. Call us to find out more.
