Conveyancing
Conveyancing is the process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It’s a distinct branch of law in South Africa, with its own rules and regulations that must be followed. Conveyancers are specially trained to deal with this process, which begins when a buyer’s conveyancer receives documentation related to the sale from their seller’s conveyancer. The buyer’s conveyancer then sends an offer to purchase to the seller’s conveyancer, who will sign it if they agree on certain conditions set out in writing (these may include payment methods and timelines). Once this has been ratified by both parties it becomes legally binding—this means that if either party backs out of the contract they could face legal consequences.
