🔍 Topic: “The Cost of Delay – Why Time Is the Most Underrated Risk in Property Law”

🕝 Summary:
In property, we often focus on the obvious risks — interest rates, tenant quality, market conditions and development costs. But in this article, Liad explores what he believes is one of the most underestimated risks in the property industry: time.

Drawing from years of experience representing landlords and property managers, he unpacks how delays quietly erode value — whether through prolonged litigation, delayed decision-making, stalled developments, municipal inefficiencies or procedural tactics in commercial disputes.

The article explains why being legally correct is often not enough, and why timing itself must become part of a broader legal and commercial strategy. From acting swiftly against defaulting tenants to proactively managing litigation momentum and anticipating procedural delays, Liad explores how strategic action can significantly reduce risk, cost and lost opportunities.

Ultimately, the article reframes time not as an unavoidable by-product of property law, but as something that can and should be actively managed.

🏗️ If you are a landlord, developer, investor or property professional looking to protect asset value and improve operational efficiency, this is a must-read.

🔍 Topic: “Winning Is Only the First Step – Navigating Appeals in Commercial Eviction Litigation”

🕝 Summary:

In commercial eviction matters, obtaining a court order in favour of a landlord is often seen as the finish line — but in reality, it is frequently just the beginning of the next phase: the appeal process.

This article explores how appeals, while a legitimate legal remedy, are often used by unlawful commercial occupants as a tool to delay enforcement, despite leases having been validly cancelled and the legal position being clear.

From the perspective of a landlord’s attorney, Liad unpacks how timing is as critical as the strength of the legal case, and how a proactive litigation strategy can neutralise delay tactics — including advancing appeals efficiently and, where appropriate, seeking Section 18(3) orders to enforce eviction pending appeal.

The result is a shift from reactive litigation to strategic control of the process, ensuring that court orders ultimately translate into real-world outcomes.

🏗️ If you are a landlord, investor or property professional navigating disputes, this is a must-read on how to stay one step ahead in litigation.

🔍 Topic: “Holding the Winning Hand - Why Settlement Agreements Made Orders of Court are a Landlord's Strongest Play”

🕝 Summary:

This article explores why settlement agreements made orders of court are one of the most powerful tools available to landlords in South African litigation.

While many view settlement as a compromise, a carefully structured agreement can actually place a landlord in a stronger position than a contested judgment.

Using a poker analogy, a well drafted settlement agreement effectively gives the landlord “four of a kind” - a dominant legal hand that removes uncertainty and limits future disputes.

Once the settlement agreement is made an order of court, it carries the same force as a judgment, meaning that any default by the tenant allows the landlord to proceed directly to ex*****on without restarting litigation.

🕝 Summary:

From unlawful municipal disconnections and billing chaos, to misunderstood sale deposits, fragile lease clauses, electricity disputes and even the rise of AI in legal practice, 2025 revealed a common thread across the property industry: certainty no longer comes by default — it must be deliberately designed.

It’s a reminder that while property may be built from bricks and mortar, its long-term success depends on trust, foresight and getting the fundamentals right.

Liad unpacks the rising friction over electricity consumption charges - now one of the biggest causes of landlord-tenant breakdowns. Vague lease clauses, unreliable meter readings and opaque billing all fuel suspicion.

The solution is simple but requires discipline:
