Why do conveyancers ask so many questions?

Are you married?

In community of property?

Do you have an antenuptial contract?

Is a trust involved?

A company?

When will occupation take place?

We know it can sometimes feel like we’re asking questions that have little to do with the property itself. But every answer helps us determine who may sign documents, how the transaction must be structured, and what requirements need to be met before registration can take place.

In conveyancing, small details matter.

Getting them right at the beginning helps prevent delays later.

“For 15 years, I have had the privilege of liaising with Bernard van Tonder of Van Tonder Incorporated Attorneys in George.

Over this period, he has successfully attended to numerous property transfers.

I would like to highlight some of the qualities that have consistently stood out in the service Bernard has provided over the years:

• Professionalism
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Weekly feedback on the progress of transfers and registrations
• Going the extra mile and reaching out to clients after hours when needed
• A courteous and positive approach at all times
• Affable, approachable, and easy to work with

Bernard and his team have furthermore managed many property transfers for clients across South Africa and even abroad, with great success.

As a Property Professional in Brenton-on-Sea, I have no hesitation in attesting to the high quality of service he provides as a Conveyancing Attorney.

Blessings for another 15 years!”

Breakfast with Natasha Andrews Jafta from Seeff Knysna at Island Café Knysna. ☕🌿

After two difficult weeks of floods, wind damage, and disrupted roads across the Garden Route, we are especially thankful to be back on the road again — reconnecting, catching up, and doing what we love.

What people don’t realise about conveyancing…

From the outside, it can look like a lot of “cut and paste”.

Standard documents. Standard steps.

But no two transfers are the same.

Every matter requires careful reading, checking, and interpreting — contracts, figures, conditions, compliance, and the interaction between multiple parties.

The real work is not in typing documents.
It is in applying knowledge accumulated over many years — in a way that leads to a sound, enforceable contract.

Boreholes are booming, but a growing number of homeowners are drilling illegally without knowing it. If your client is buying a property with a borehole, attorney Cor van Deventer says ask for the paperwork before they sign.

Kyk net gou wat doen ‘n blazer…..

Bernard Van Tonder doesn’t need ’n “goue tekkie”… OR to hide anything 😉🤭
But we do know the blazer helps close deals.

He — and the blazer — remain committed to coming to you.
George. Wilderness. Knysna. Repeat.
