Before the lobola celebrations begin, there’s one important legal step often overlooked 💍

Customary marriages now carry the same legal recognition as civil marriages which means the same marital property regimes apply.

Registering an antenuptial contract (ANC) before marriage helps protect both parties, clarifies financial rights, and avoids future legal disputes.

Love comes first, but planning protects the future ❤

South African law is shifting fast right now ⚖

From stricter property compliance to tighter consumer protection and increased scrutiny on municipal billing and debt enforcement, accountability is taking centre stage.

The message is clear: whether you’re buying property, managing debt, or doing business, compliance matters more than ever.

🏡 In arrears with your municipal account?

If you're selling your property, Section 118 of the Municipal Systems Act limits the rates clearance figures issued by a municipality to the two years preceding your application date.

This means arrears from many years ago cannot be included in the figures required for the sale.

However, you may still remain liable for any outstanding amounts not included in the Section 118 rates clearance figures.

⚖️ Understanding your rights and obligations is key when transferring property.

Many property buyers assume that purchasing a home with a beautiful ocean, mountain, or forest view means that the view is legally protected. Unfortunately, under South African law, this is not always the case.

In terms of South African common law, a view is generally regarded as an incidental advantage rather than a legal right. This means that a neighbour’s right to develop their property will often take precedence over your enjoyment of a view.

⚖️ When can a view be protected?
1.⁠ ⁠Where there is a specific condition recorded in the Title Deed
2.⁠ ⁠Where there is a recognised public interest consideration

📌 Important: Before paying a premium for a “view,” ensure that your Conveyancer carefully reviews the Title Deed and any applicable restrictions.

Many Purchasers assume that approved building plans automatically form part of the sale when purchasing a property, but that is not always the case.

A Seller is not automatically obliged to provide building plans unless this requirement is specifically included in the Offer to Purchase.

If the Seller does not have the approved plans, they should disclose this to the Purchaser upfront.

The Purchaser can then decide whether to:

✔️ Proceed with the purchase
✔️ Renegotiate the purchase price
✔️ Factor in the cost and process of obtaining the plans themselves

📌 Always ensure that important documents, including approved building plans, are addressed clearly in the Offer to Purchase before signing.
