Building strong relationships is key to navigating the complexities of surety bond approvals. While home office underwriters have more authority over larger or more complex bonds, their role is often more internally focused, with less direct customer interaction compared to branch office underwriters.   In the latest episode of "Ask The Surety Pro" (1:22), Joseph Catania, Co-Founder & President, shares how cultivating supportive relationships with both home office and branch office surety underwriters helps facilitate breakthrough approvals for our contractor clients.   Click below to watch and learn more about the power of relationship-building in surety! https://lnkd.in/eexeJqvT

How often do you see misleading or incorrect property listing information by estate agents on property portals? In this webinar, presented by Tina Walsh, CEO of #NAPSA, we learned about the types of information which are key to meeting Material information standards. My Key Takeaway: As approved NAPSA members, we also must comply with our obligation to include material information (defined in the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 as “information which the average consumer needs, according to the context, to take an informed transactional decision”) when sourcing and packaging property deals for our clients. Let me know if you are interested in finding out more about what should be considered as material information in residential property listings. #propertycompliance #materialinformation #ukpropertymarket #ukpropertyinvesting

We're almost a month into 2025, and we're still getting some questions about the changes to the ATO Clearance Certificate requirements, so we thought we'd share a little refresher 😃 So, what changed? 🤓 As of 1 January, ALL SELLERS now need to supply a clearance certificate from the ATO before settlement. Previously, it was only sellers who sold for $750k or more. 🤓 If no clearance certificate is provided, the buyer MUST withhold 15% of the sale price and pay it to the ATO on behalf of the seller. This used to be 12.5%. And what hasn't changed? 📅 Clearance certificates are valid for 12 months, so sellers who apply when listing their property for sale generally don't have any issues getting the certificate before settlement (and thus, no risk of $$ being paid to the ATO). Moral of the story? We're advising all sellers we speak with to apply as early as possible to reduce the likelihood of delays in receiving the certificate. Do you have questions about these changes? To be fair, the communication from the ATO could definitely have been better, so you certainly won't be alone in wondering about them! Let us know in the comments, we'd be happy to help 👇 #hpsetts #realestateexpert #realestatetips #settlementsperth #econveyancing #perthinvestments

Securities lending is a curious beast for a lawyer or negotiator in a firm’s legal team. On the one hand, securities lending is, like repo trading, a huge part of trading and liquidity strategies deployed in the financial markets. On the other hand, the agreement that governs security lending (the Global Master Securities Lending Agreement (“GMSLA”)) isn’t an agreement that is as widely negotiated as even the GMRA, let alone the ISDA, so it’s unfamiliar to most. It certainly was to me in my early years starting out in this industry.   Need somewhere to start when you get landed with an urgent GMSLA negotiation and can’t quite remember why an Income record date triggers a manufactured payment or which conditions need to be present for an indemnity to bite? Fear not, for help is at hand. Yes you guessed it, we’ve written another one of our handy guides for the GMSLA: https://lnkd.in/d_9jvPtx
