Selling Property
Selling Property the Right Way
Many people are following the trend of selling their own property through a private sale, rather than making use of third party professionals to do this on their behalf. The argument is that they will be saving on service fees and commissions, pocketing that money rather than paying it over to someone else. While this is all fair and well, it is advisable that you do involve at least one very important professional when selling property – an experienced conveyancer.
Conveyancing is the legal process of obtaining ownership of a property. The conveyancer is an attorney or legal representative who is well-versed in property law and is specifically qualified to attend to the registration and transfer of immovable property, as well as the registration and cancellation of bonds. This means that not just any attorney will be able to assist you with the process of buying or selling property – you will need the assistance of an expert in the field.
A conveyancer won’t be able to help you with choosing the right property to qualify for bond financing, but he or she will be able to assist you with processes such as getting your existing bond on your property cancelled, transferring the property to the new owner and generally ensuring that all documents are drafted correctly, signed by the right parties and that everything about the sale is legal and legitimate.
