Clear costs explained upfront. No hidden extras.
Affordable, transparent fees — no surprise costs.
Quality legal help should be within reach. We explain our fees clearly and upfront at your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
What we help you with
Whether you are buying, selling or transferring for another reason, we cover the full process:
Buying a property
We act as your transferring attorneys, taking your purchase from accepted offer to registered title and keeping the agent, seller and bond attorneys all moving together.
Selling a property
We handle the transfer out of your name efficiently, attend to the clearance figures, and make sure everything is in order so you are paid promptly on registration.
Sectional title and full title
Whether it is a flat, a townhouse in a complex or a freestanding home, we handle the transfer and the body corporate or HOA compliance that goes with it.
Estate and divorce transfers
We assist with transferring property out of a deceased estate or following a divorce, with care, patience and clear guidance through a difficult time.
How a property transfer works
From your accepted offer to the day the property is registered in your name, here is every step we take on your behalf:
Your offer is accepted
Once you have signed your offer to purchase, the estate agent or bank sends it to us and we open your file straight away.
We confirm your details (FICA)
We let you know exactly what we need — your ID, proof of address and banking details — so your file is compliant under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 and ready to move from day one.
We gather the clearances and figures
We request rates clearance from the municipality, levy clearance from the body corporate or HOA, and the transfer duty receipt from SARS under the Transfer Duty Act 40 of 1949, chasing each one so nothing holds you up.
You sign your transfer documents
We prepare your documents under the Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937 and walk you through each one — in our office or online — so you understand exactly what you are signing before you sign it.
We lodge at the Deeds Office
Your documents are lodged with the Deeds Office alongside the bond attorneys where there is a bond, and examined before registration. We track progress and keep you posted throughout.
Registration and handover
On the day of registration the property is officially yours. We finalise the accounts and let you know the moment it is done.
