New Landonline – Survey: sign up now for our free webinar

Our new Landonline – Survey capture application will be available to all survey users from April 2023, following an 18-month pilot as part of our Modernising Landonline programme.

The new application has a modern look and feel and is more intuitive. Importantly, the way you enter information is similar, but the process is easier and more efficient.

Legacy Landonline will continue to be used for search, requests, plan generation and submit and sign.

You may already be using the new application within your firm, and we encourage more of your colleagues to start using the new application.

Our focus this year is to bring users onto the new application and to have you use the new Landonline functionality as it’s available. Our aim is to complete migration of all customers to new Landonline (for capture) in July 2023.

Completing the migration will enable us to focus on enhancements in the new application.

Thursday 23 March 2023 at 12 noon

Tips for using new Landonline – Dealings functionality

Since November 2022, property lawyers and conveyancing professionals have been able to process most simple dealings containing Discharge of Mortgage, Transfer and/or Mortgage instruments end to end using the new Landonline – Dealings application. 

In addition, it is possible to complete many of your certify & sign, release and submit tasks for almost any dealing.

Lots of positive customer feedback has been received, along with some ideas for improvements. We’ve listened and responded by enhancing the landing page, making it easier for you to locate, view and open a dealing.

We’ve also increased the certify & sign functionality to allow for signing where there are multiple representatives for a role.

Try these time saving enhancements

Customise the order and size of columns on your ‘My Dealings’ and ‘Firm Dealings’ pages (your browser will remember your changes).

View full Dealings Details summary on your ‘My Dealings’ or ‘Firm Dealings’ pages by clicking anywhere along the dealing row, except the dealing number hyperlink itself.

Check the status of your Notice of Change (NoC) by clicking into the ‘Notice of Change’ page (from the left-hand Dealing navigation bar or from within the instrument’s 'Prepare’ page).

Populate PC and CP details faster by typing any part of a Primary Contact (PC) or Conveyancing Professional’s (CP’s) name when linking them to an instrument.

Select the user as soon as you see them in the result options.  To use your default PC and CP, click the people icon at the end of the row in the ‘Roles’ section.

Quickly populate affected titles by clicking the icon with 3 horizontal lines and a plus sign (by the ‘Add titles’ field) to copy across any affected titles you’ve already added to your dealing.

Use in-app navigation to release dealing locks by using the stylised blue back arrow (next to the dealing number near the top right) to exit a dealing. Please don’t use the browser ‘back arrow’. 

Closing your browser window currently results in your Dealing being locked for 20 minutes. We’re looking into how to mitigate this.

If you see a pencil icon next to a dealing in your ‘My Dealings’ or ‘Firm Dealings’ tabs on your landing page, you have it in edit mode. Release by opening the dealing and using the blue back arrow.

New Landonline – upgrade to authorisation process at login

Some of our new Landonline applications (Search and Survey) have upgraded to our new authorisation service (this happens behind the scenes at login – you won’t notice any change).

Please note: the new Dealings application is yet to migrate to the new authorisation service. This means if you use both our Search and new Dealings applications, you’ll need to log in separately to each application when switching between them.

Notice to Mortgagee service: ANZ now live

We’re pleased to announce the ANZ Bank has joined the 14 other financial institutions – including BNZ, TSB, Westpac and Rabobank – using our Notice to Mortgagee service.
