Purchasing property is considered to be one of the most important decisions any person can make, and we are here to help by guiding our clients through the process of transferring ownership of any immovable property (real estate), every step of the way.
Property law in South Africa ensures that the correct property is transferred to the buyer, and that the property is free of any encumbrance pertaining to the previous owner.
This means that the previous bond is cancelled and a clearance certificate is issued, confirming the full payment of rates, taxes and other levies on the property, before the property is transferred and registered by the buyer.
When dealing with property, you always deal with a substantial capital investment, therefore it is necessary to obtain legal assistance to protect your interests.
