Buying or selling property in South Africa needs a conveyancer, an attorney who has passed the conveyancing exam, to register the transfer at the Deeds Office. The seller usually appoints the transferring attorney, and the bank appoints its own attorney for the bond. Property lawyers also help with sectional title disputes, leases, servitudes and land matters.
A property transfer or bond is registered at the deeds registry for the area where the property is, by a conveyancer. Only an attorney admitted as a conveyancer can lodge the deeds. The closest deeds registry to Pretoria Central is the North Gauteng Deeds Registry in Pretoria.
A typical transfer takes about two to three months from signing the offer to purchase to registration, depending on bond approval, clearance certificates and Deeds Office times.
The buyer normally pays the transfer costs, including the conveyancer's fees and transfer duty to SARS, unless the sale agreement says otherwise.
Ask for a written quote of transfer costs, check how they will keep you updated, and confirm the firm has an admitted conveyancer. The firms above list property work in Pretoria Central.
