Plans for a single national system for electronic property transaction settlements is set to meet resistance from the legal profession and banks tomorrow.
The proposed national e-conveyancing system, which will allegedly save consumers up to $250 million a year, is to be set up and regulated by federal and state governments, However there is concern the Victorian model could prove too difficult to integrate with the other states and territories.
