Why a Conveyancer?

Would you consult a GP if you needed a cardiologist? Similarly, only a conveyancer has the necessary expertise in all aspects of the property law. Using an attorney instead of a conveyancer may lead to bungled and late transfers which can cost you dearly in terms of:

• Interest continuing to run on the outstanding mortgage.
• Increased municipal rates and taxes.
• Risk that the bank withdraws the purchaser's bond approval.
• Complications with occupation/possession and the risks involved therein.

What Your Attorney Doesn't Know Can Hurt You

A Conveyancer is an attorney who specializes in all matters related to property law and who has:

• Qualified as an attorney after passing the necessary exams
• Passed the necessary further conveyancing exam set by the Law Society
• Been admitted as a conveyancer by the High Court of South Africa
• Not all attorneys are qualified as conveyancers and only qualified conveyancers may register property transactions in the Deeds Office.

Your Conveyancer Must Ensure That:

• The transaction documents are 100% correct.
• The Seller owns the property and is capable of selling it.
• The Seller and Purchaser have the contractual capacity to sell & buy.
• The transaction is allowable in all respects.

Make sure that you appoint a professional conveyancer to take care of your biggest investment.
