Lodging applications

Commencing 11 October 2021, changes to the land title system in NSW means all Real Property Act dealings, regardless of the date signed, must be lodged with the Land Registry Service (LRS) electronically. Paper documents are no longer accepted.

The Land Registry Services (LRS) will not accept paper dealings presented at the NSW LRS Lodgement Office or via post.

Electronic conveyancing (eConveyancing) must be used for the completion of all conveyancing transactions including transferring property ownership from seller to buyer.

How does this affect individuals acting for themselves?

Individuals who are not using a solicitor or conveyancer can still send their documents to Revenue NSW for assessment of duty.

Once the documents have been finalised and returned, lodgement with the LRS can only be completed by a solicitor or conveyancer who is subscribed to an Electronic Lodgment Network Operator (ELNO).
