Questions

Frequently Asked
Question for Clients?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of immovable property (such as a house, apartment, or land) from one party to another. This includes verifying ownership, drafting contracts, managing bond registration or cancellation, and registering the property at the Deeds Office.
On average, the transfer process takes 8 to 12 weeks from the date of sale. Timelines depend on factors such as bond approvals, municipal clearance certificates, and responsiveness from all parties involved.
In most cases, the seller appoints the conveyancing attorney, unless otherwise agreed in the sale contract.
Buyers typically pay transfer duty (tax), bond registration fees, conveyancing fees, and Deeds Office charges. We provide a detailed cost breakdown upon instruction.
You’ll generally need:
  • Certified ID copy or passport
  • Proof of address
  • Income tax number
  • Sale agreement
  • Bond approval documents (if applicable)
