SettleIT Opens Tasmania to Interstate Conveyancers and Law Firms

November 5, 2026

In short: InfoTrack's outsourced settlement service, SettleIT, has added Tasmania to its coverage. Conveyancers and law firms anywhere in Australia can now act on Tasmanian property matters without building local expertise or hiring extra staff themselves. The timing fits a state whose conveyancing system has just gone fully digital.

What has SettleIT announced?

InfoTrack confirmed on 4 November 2026 that SettleIT now handles Tasmanian settlements. The service pairs licensed conveyancers who know the Tasmanian process with integrations into the practice management systems firms already run. A firm can accept an interstate file, keep the client relationship and hand off the settlement work, without new hires or a new platform. InfoTrack says compliance sits at the centre of the offering, and Tasmania rounds out SettleIT's multi-jurisdiction coverage for firms that handle matters across state lines.

Why does Tasmania matter to mainland firms?

Every state runs its own conveyancing rules, so acting outside a home jurisdiction has usually meant either learning a new process or referring the work away. Tasmania has become harder to ignore. The Real Estate Institute of Tasmania (REIT) recorded 10,615 residential transactions in the state in 2025. That was 8.6 per cent more than in 2024, and the combined sales value of $6.7 billion was the highest on record. Buyers and investors from interstate are part of that activity, and their usual lawyers or conveyancers will often want to follow them.

How has Tasmanian conveyancing changed?

The state has moved quickly towards the electronic model already common elsewhere. Sales and purchases could be run in ELNO workspaces from February 2025. Then, from 1 September 2026, the Land Titles Office removed certificates of title from the titling process altogether. As the Tasmanian Government's status of certificates of title page explains, the Register maintained by the Recorder of Titles is conclusive evidence of ownership. Verification of identity and right to deal now carries the load that the paper title once did. A Law Society of Tasmania notice of the Land Titles Office circular adds that no paper or electronic substitute is issued, and any certificate lodged on or after 1 September 2026 is destroyed.

For practitioners on the mainland, that narrows the gap between Tasmanian practice and their own. Local differences remain, though, and that is the space SettleIT is targeting.

What does InfoTrack say?

Corey Tattam, Head of SettleIT, framed the move around client mobility: "Property activity does not stop at a state border, and the firms serving these clients should not have to stop there either. We've taken the time to learn the local processes and are ready to help firms confidently navigate the evolving eConveyancing landscape in Tasmania," he said.

FAQ

Can a NSW or Victorian firm act on a Tasmanian property matter?

Yes, provided it can manage Tasmania's processes. SettleIT now offers that support on an outsourced basis, and the firm keeps the client relationship.

Are paper certificates of title still needed in Tasmania?

No. Since 1 September 2026, the Land Titles Office has not issued certificates of title or required them for lodgement. The Register is the sole source of truth.
