Cut-off dates for settlements and valuations over the festive season.
It’s important you’re aware of the critical cut-off dates, operating hours and key contacts to help ensure we achieve the best settlement outcomes for you and your customers.
End of year settlement cut-off dates
To ensure settlements are completed before the shutdown period, please note the following dates:
First and Final Progress inspections and payments should be submitted no later than close of business Wednesday 14 December 2022 to ensure these can be completed before the scheduled shutdown period.
Valuations (including Construction payments)
From close of business Friday 23 December 2022 to Friday 6 January 2023 the following valuation types will not be completed:
- Construction (Progress and Final progress) and
- Rural
Outstanding requests will be completed by NAB Valuations from Monday 9 January 2023.
Note: Our external panel will continue to provide Residential valuation services during this period.
Document execution
We’re expecting an increase in settlements throughout December. To prevent delays, please ensure that:
- All forms are fully completed and signed
- Witnesses have provided a full address, including state and postcode
- The Certificate of Currency is attached and is for the correct amount
- Documents are returned at least 10 business days prior to settlement or at least 5 business days prior if it’s a 30-day settlement.
The DocuSign experience
For a simple and digital experience, use MSA’s DocuSign to complete the document acceptance process.
Setting expectations and being proactive
A PEXA invitation needs to be sent by the solicitor and a Transfer of Land created at least 10 business days prior to settlement
Ensure funds are in the correct customer account at least two business days before settlement.
