š” SOLD DOESNāT MEAN TRANSFERRED
The offer has been accepted. Hands have been shaken. Someone may already be mentally arranging the furniture.
But legally, thereās still work to be done.
Between āCongratulations, the house is sold!ā and āThe property is registered in your nameā, your conveyancer is coordinating a process involving documents, finances, compliance requirements, SARS, municipalities, banks where applicable, and ultimately the Deeds Office.
For example: transfer duty - where applicable - forms part of the conveyancing process wherein the Conveyancer deals with SARS in order to obtain the required transfer duty receipt.
The applicable duty is generally calculated on the purchase price or alternatively on the property value (depending on which one is the highest amount).
There may also be conditions in the sale agreement that need to be fulfilled and documentation that needs to be obtained before transfer can proceed.
Thatās why conveyancing is so much more than paperwork.
At Bothas Incorporated, we help guide buyers and sellers through that journey ā explaining the process, managing the legal requirements and keeping the transaction moving towards registration.
Because āSOLDā is exciting.
āREGISTEREDā makes it yours.
