Frequently Asked Questions

What does conveyancing involve?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It involves verifying the seller's title, preparing transfer documents, checking for liens or encumbrances, coordinating bond registration, and submitting documents to the Deeds Office for final registration.
How long does a property transfer take?
Typical property transfers take 6-12 weeks from purchase agreement to final registration. The timeline depends on bond approval speed, document preparation, and Deeds Office processing times. Your attorney will provide accurate timelines based on your transaction's complexity.
What are typical property transfer costs?
Costs typically include transfer duty (tax on property value, sliding scale from 0-11%), conveyancing attorney fees (usually 1-2% of property value), search fees, registration fees at the Deeds Office, and bond registration costs. Your attorney provides a detailed cost breakdown upfront.
What is transfer duty and do I have to pay it?
Transfer duty (also called property transfer tax) is a government tax on property transfers. It's payable by the buyer and ranges from 0% to 11% depending on purchase price. The first R900,000 of the property is exempt from duty. Your attorney calculates the exact amount based on your property's value.
What is title verification and why is it important?
Title verification checks that the seller actually owns the property and has the right to sell it. We search the Deeds Office to confirm ownership, check for any liens (debts against the property), mortgages, or other encumbrances. This protects you from buying a property with legal problems.
Do I need an attorney for property transfer?
Yes, in South Africa conveyancing must be done by a qualified attorney registered with the Law Society. You cannot do property transfers without an attorney. Your attorney protects your interests, ensures all documents are correct, and oversees the entire registration process at the Deeds Office.
What if there are title problems or disputes?
Title problems must be resolved before transfer. These might include liens from unpaid debts, mortgage claims, boundary disputes, or historical ownership issues. Your attorney identifies problems during title verification and works to resolve them before final transfer registration.
Can you help with property disputes or tenant issues?
Yes. We handle property disputes (boundary issues, ownership disputes, encroachment claims), landlord-tenant disputes, lease agreement drafting and review, and eviction proceedings. Whether you're a property owner or tenant, we protect your legal rights.
