Can I sell my house on ALA if it is bonded?

Yes you can on condition that the purchase price is not less than the monies owed under the existing bond. There are very few attorneys in South Africa who specialise in setting up secure fixed property instalment sale agreements. At Bert Smith Attorneys, this is our speciality.
