Conveyancing in KwaZulu Natal
While Ownership of immovable property is an investment, there is a significant amount of work which goes into the ownership thereof. The conveyancing process involves the legal procedure which takes place in recognition of obtaining lawful ownership of immovable property. Ownership is acquired through the registration of the property into the name of the buyer in the relevant Deeds Office.
Depending on which part of the conveyancing process the conveyancer is dealing with, he/she will be appointed by specific parties as outlined below:
- The conveyancer transferring the property from seller to buyer will be appointed by the seller as it is the seller who this conveyancer will be representing.
- The conveyancer dealing with the cancellation of the seller’s mortgage bond will be appointed by the bank in whose favour the bond is taken out, therefore, this conveyancer will be appointed by the seller’s bank (ie. The bondholder’s bank).
- The conveyancer dealing with the loan to be obtained by the buyer of the property will represent the buyer and is appointed by the bank who is financing the purchase.
