What They Do and Why You Need One
Buying a home or property is a thrilling milestone, but the legal complexities and costs can overwhelm the process. Sadler Attorneys, a trusted name in conveyancing, simplifies this journey by offering expert guidance every step of the way.
In this article, we’ll explore the role of conveyancing attorneys, how their fees work, and why Sadler Attorneys should be your go-to for seamless property transactions.
What Do Conveyancing Attorneys Do?
A conveyancing attorney plays a vital role in property transactions. These legal professionals specialize in property law and are admitted attorneys who have passed rigorous exams to practice conveyancing.
Conveyancing attorneys handle:
- Property Transfers: Registering the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer.
- Mortgage Bonds: Registering a purchaser’s mortgage bond for financial institutions.
- Bond Cancellations: Cancelling the seller’s existing bond over the property.
At Sadler Attorneys, our conveyancers ensure all legal requirements are met, and your transaction progresses smoothly. Once the sale is finalized and the conveyancing attorney is appointed, we prepare essential documents such as:
- The power of attorney and supporting affidavits.
- Applications and documentation required by legislation and deeds office protocols.
- Municipal rates clearance certificates and SARS transfer duty receipts.
For buyers requiring a mortgage loan, we collaborate with bond registration attorneys who represent financial institutions. These attorneys prepare loan documents and register the mortgage bond, ensuring the process is streamlined and stress-free.
How Do Conveyancing Fees Work?
Conveyancing fees are calculated based on the property value or the bond amount, depending on the transaction type. Here’s a breakdown:
- Purchasers: Typically pay the fees for the transferring and bond registration attorneys.
- Sellers: Usually cover the bond cancellation attorney’s fees to cancel any existing bonds.
At Sadler Attorneys, we provide transparent fee structures and guide clients through all financial aspects. We recommend referring to the Law Society of South Africa’s guidelines or contacting our expert team for detailed information.
Is a Conveyancing Attorney Optional?
