From residential transfers to commercial developments, our registered conveyancers take your transaction from instruction to registration at the Deeds Office.
A property transaction is only as smooth as the documents behind it.
Our property department is led by a registered conveyancer who is also the firm's resident Notary Public. We work closely with South Africa's major lending institutions and property developers, which keeps lodgements clean and registrations on time.
Careful preparation matters at the Deeds Office. Our attention to detail keeps the risk of rejection low, so buyers move in and sellers are paid when they expect to be.

Usually transfer duty (where the price is above the SARS threshold), transfer fees and, where there is a bond, bond registration costs. We give you a written estimate before you sign.
