When buying or selling property, most people think of real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and banks. But one key player is often overlooked—your property lawyer. At A de Bruyn Attorneys, we believe that legal guidance is not just helpful—it’s essential to making your real estate transaction smooth, secure, and stress-free.
What are the conveyancer’s duties and responsibilities?
Real estate transactions involve significant financial investments with legally binding agreements and a lot of legal jargon. A small mistake or oversight can lead to major complications down the line. That’s where conveyancers step in—to protect your interests and ensure the change of ownership process of the property is headache free, from signing of documents to obtaining compliance certificates and ensuring all Municipal rates and taxes and levies are paid up.
What Does a Conveyancer Do?
1. Drafting and Reviewing Contracts
Before signing any Offer to Purchase, a conveyancer ensures the contract is legally sound and fair to all parties. We clarify vague terms, ensure reasonable timelines, identify hidden liabilities, and protect your rights.
2. Managing Property Transfers
Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. Our conveyancing team handles this crucial step—from obtaining clearance certificates to lodging documents with the Deeds Office.
3. Title Deed and Land Use Checks
We perform thorough checks on the property’s title deed to ensure there are no restrictions, servitudes, or encumbrances that could affect your use or resale of the property.
4. Resolving Disputes
Disputes can arise over boundaries, defects, or delays. With a property lawyer on your side, you have immediate access to legal advice and solutions before problems escalate.
5. Compliance with Regulations
Whether you’re buying into a sectional title scheme, a homeowners’ association (HOA), or a commercial development, we ensure your transaction complies with all municipal and legal requirements.
6. Protecting Developers and Investors
For property developers, our team assists with everything from structuring transactions and setting up entities to preparing sale agreements and managing registrations. We make sure your developments are legally watertight from start to finish.
