PROPERTY INSIGHT 21 What happens between signing and transfer?

What to know

  • The transferring attorney gathers FICA and transaction documents and prepares transfer papers.
  • Municipal clearance, transfer-duty processes and bond cancellation or registration may run in parallel.
  • Sectional-title transfers can also require body-corporate clearance.
  • Registration only occurs once all required documents, certificates, finances and linked transactions are ready.
