PEXA: UK Platform Launch
How PEXA Fits into the UK Conveyancing Ecosystem: Building Confidence in Completions
Every conveyancer knows the pressures of completion day. The phones ring nonstop, clients grow anxious, and conveyancers are left juggling uncertainties around funds and paperwork. For too long, the process has been defined by a lack of transparency, reliance on manual checks, and the constant risk of last-minute fall-throughs.
PEXA – the world’s first digital property settlement platform – has set out to help change that.
A proven solution, now in the UK
In Australia, PEXA has revolutionised the way property transactions are managed. Handling more than 90% of all settlements nationwide, it has digitised and standardised the entire settlement and lodgement process, giving conveyancers greater visibility and clients greater confidence.
Now, PEXA has launched in the UK, bringing with it the potential to modernise one of the most critical parts of the conveyancing process. For conveyancers, it offers efficiency, security, and reassurance in equal measure.
Streamlining the process
At its core, PEXA integrates directly with HM Land Registry and the Bank of England. That means digital lodgement and settlement can happen in one place – reducing duplication, delays, and errors. Conveyancers can spend less time chasing paperwork and more time focusing on delivering their expert legal advice to clients, which is why they got into the profession in the first place.
Confidence in completions
Few moments in conveyancing cause as much stress as wondering whether funds will clear or documentation will be lodged on time. PEXA provides real time visibility across that process, reducing uncertainty and helping prevent last-minute fall-throughs. For clients, that means peace of mind. For conveyancers, it means fewer sleepless nights and a greater sense of control.
Support from the industry
PEXA’s UK roll-out is already building momentum across a range of institutions. NatWest has confirmed that it will adopt the platform for remortgages from 2026, while Hinckley & Rugby Building Society has been among the first to utilise the technology.
Laura Sneddon, Head of Sales & Distribution at HRBS, said:
“We are always eager to
embrace innovation and work with partners who share our vision for a more efficient and modernised property market. PEXA’s fully digital Sale & Purchase platform represents a significant step forward in streamlining the mortgage and completion process, and we are proud to have been the first UK lender to complete a transaction using this groundbreaking technology.”
Conveyancing firms are also enthusiastic. David Jabbari, Founder and CEO of Muve, commented:
“Muve is committed to driving innovation in the legal sector, and our collaboration, with PEXA and Hinckley & Rugby on the first UK transactions, aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions for our clients. We are proud to be one of the first firms to work alongside PEXA and look forward to other opportunities to bring the benefits of digital conveyancing to more consumers across the UK”
Enhancing the client experience
In a competitive market, reputation matters. Smoother completions lead to happier clients – and happier clients lead to referrals. By enabling more reliable and efficient transactions, PEXA helps conveyancers strengthen their relationships and stand out in a crowded market.
Built-in security
The risk of fraud looms large over every transaction. PEXA is built with robust, cutting-edge security to protect both client data and the movement of funds. This gives conveyancers the assurance that their clients’ interests are protected at every stage.
Preparing for the future
The property market is changing, and digitisation is accelerating. NatWest’s commitment to using PEXA for remortgages from 2026 is a clear sign of industry confidence and momentum. Conveyancers who adopt early won’t just enjoy the immediate benefits of efficiency and certainty; they will also be positioning themselves as leaders in a future-ready profession.
Joe Pepper, CEO of PEXA, commented:
“PEXA is here to work in partnership with conveyancers, not disrupt them. By digitising the settlement and lodgement process, we reduce admin and last-minute uncertainty, freeing up time for conveyancers to focus on what matters most – delivering a smoother, safer client experience.”
Building confidence in completions
Ultimately, PEXA’s purpose is to give conveyancers and their clients greater confidence in completions. By creating a digital infrastructure that is transparent, efficient, and secure, it allows the profession to move forward with less risk and greater certainty.
For conveyancers, the opportunity is clear: adopt early, embrace digital settlement, and lead the way in shaping the next chapter of the UK property market. PEXA is here – and ready to support the profession in delivering more reliable outcomes for clients.
