Property Transfers
Making Child’s Play of Property Transfers
If you are buying or selling fixed property, this property will have to be legally transferred from the seller to the buyer in order for the transaction to be considered legitimate and for the municipality to accept the buyer as the new owner. These property transfers form part of the bigger property conveyancing process – an intricate process that includes everything from drawing up the applicable contracts and other legal documents, to registering the property under the new owner’s name at the Deeds Office. In South Africa conveyancing can only be carried out by a licensed conveyancer, which is an attorney who has passed the National Conveyancing Examination. It therefore makes sense to employ the services of an experienced player in the market that will be able to guide you through the process without incident – someone like Bert Smith Incorporated.
At Bert Smith Incorporated we specialise in the delivery of professional and comprehensive conveyancing services that are aimed at making the process as quick and convenient as possible for our clients. Our range of services offered includes:
- General Conveyancing
- Property Transfers
- Bond and Servitude Registrations
- Drafting of Agreements
- Registration of Trusts
- Instalment Sale Agreements
- Registration of Usufruct
- Law of Contracts
- Tax Issues Relating To Property
While it is often considered the duty of the seller to appoint and pay for the services of a conveyancer, there is no reason why the other parties involved, such as the buyer and the bank, can not also consult with their own conveyancers if they so wish. This can be done to help speed up the process or to be completely sure that all documents are in order and that the process is running according to legislative requirements.
Bert Smith Incorporated is on all the major bank panels, such as FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank and Nedbank, which helps to better facilitate the expeditious registration of our transactions. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work ethic and strive to deliver services that cannot be matched. Contact us for assistance with all property related legal issues, including the process of property transfers.
