Conveyancing
WHAT IS CONVEYANCING?
Conveyancing is the legal process whereby ownership in immovable property is transferred from one party to another and related aspects such as the registration of mortgage bonds and real rights in respect of immovable property. Immovable property is any land (whether improved or not) such as a dwelling house, a farm, a vacant erf or a sectional title unit. A conveyancing transaction involves a number of steps which normally begins with a Deed of Sale and continues through to the registration of transfer of ownership or the registration of the mortgage bond in the Deeds Office, the reconciliation of finances and the ultimate payment of the purchase price to the Seller.
WHAT IS A CONVEYANCER?
A conveyancer is an attorney with a post-graduate qualification who by law is the only person who can register property transactions in the Deeds Offices. This is necessary to ensure the protection of the interest of the parties to the transaction and to maintain the high standard of land registrations.
