❌ MYTH

Signing and accepting an Offer to Purchase is an important step, but it doesn't mean the property has been transferred into the buyer's name.

There are still several stages to complete, including the fulfilment of conditions, preparation and signing of transfer documents, obtaining required certificates and the Deeds Office process.

✅ Registration is what legally transfers ownership.

Knowing the process makes the journey easier to understand.

When your conveyancer says:
“The transfer has been lodged.”

…it means the required documents have been submitted to the Deeds Office for examination.

The documents are then checked to ensure that the necessary requirements have been met before the transaction can proceed towards registration.

It's an important milestone in the transfer journey but registration is still the ultimate goal.

One step closer to handing over those keys! 🔑

If you're selling a property that still has a bond registered over it, the existing bond will generally need to be cancelled as part of the transfer process.

Your bank will need to be notified, and the relevant attorneys will coordinate the cancellation process alongside the property transfer.

It's a good idea to start this process early — especially because banks may have their own notice requirements.

Planning to sell? Don't leave your bond cancellation until the last minute.

When budgeting for a property purchase, remember that the purchase price isn't necessarily your only expense.

Depending on your circumstances, you may need to consider costs such as:
🏡 Transfer-related costs
📑 Legal fees
💰 Transfer Duty, where applicable
🏦 Bond registration costs, where applicable
🏛️ Other transaction-related expenses

Understanding the full cost of your purchase before signing can help you plan with greater confidence.

Know the numbers before you sign on the dotted line.

Your Title Deed is an important legal document that records ownership of a property.

It contains information about the property and its registered owner, along with certain conditions that may apply to the property.

When a property is sold, the transfer process ultimately results in the new owner's details being registered at the Deeds Office.

Your keys may open the door — but your Title Deed records your ownership. 🔑📄

Buying or selling a property comes with plenty of new terminology — and “transfer attorney” is one you'll hear often.

A transfer attorney, also known as a conveyancer, handles the legal process involved in transferring ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer.

They coordinate the necessary documentation, certificates, legal requirements and Deeds Office processes to help get the property registered into the new owner's name.

In short: They're the legal team helping get the property from sold to registered. 🏡📑

Before putting that “For Sale” sign up, take a moment to get your property affairs in order.

Ask yourself:
✔ Is my property bonded?
✔ Do I have my Title Deed?
✔ Are my municipal details up to date?
✔ Do I know who will handle my transfer?
✔ Have I considered the costs involved?
✔ Do I understand the process?

Getting informed early can make the journey much easier.
