Conveyancing

Conveyancing involves the process of transferring property ownership. It includes preparing crucial documentation necessary for a smooth property exchange between two parties. A conveyancer specialises in facilitating legal documents like deeds or leases to facilitate the property title transfer from the seller to the buyer or between a landowner and a tenant, thus legitimising the real estate transaction. In addition, we have other vital responsibilities in real estate transactions. These include:

Performing title searches and researching details about the property, such as confirming who the legal owner is, determining if there are any restrictions or conditions, reviewing surveys for proper boundaries or easements, and securing title abstracts for a complete historical summary of the property;
Working with the Deeds Office to secure and submit required documents and title deeds;
Raising questions about any possible structural issues; and
Registering, transferring, or cancellation of bonds.

Property Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Litigation can be an expensive, adversarial, and time-consuming process. It also may erode the neighbourliness of your community and subject homeowners to large special levies to cover legal fees. Mediation is usually a more efficient and affordable way to resolve the typical conflicts that arise in sectional title communities. Our attorney-mediators act as neutral third parties who will listen to all viewpoints and facilitate discussion between disputing parties without rendering a final judgment. Our goal is to enable the community members to settle even intense and protracted disputes amicably, quickly, and cost-effectively.

Transferring Inherited Property

When a property is inherited from a deceased estate, the property needs to be transferred into the name of the heir (the person inheriting it) from the deceased estate. A conveyancing attorney carries out this transfer. The fees payable are predetermined and the rates and tax clearance are applicable.

Registration of Property Rights

Ownership of land is accompanied by ownership of all structures and fixtures permanently erected on the land. However a land owner can grant rights over the property that require registration and these include long-term leases, and servitudes.
