South Africa has one of the most advanced and most secure property registration systems in the world. To ensure that this level of security is maintained, an attorney who is also qualified as a Conveyancer is required to attend to the registration formalities pertaining to the property transaction, in the Deeds Registry for the relevant area.

The stringent requirements of the law ensure that you, as a purchaser, are assured that the correct property is transferred to you, that it is free of any encumbrance pertaining to a previous owner, i.e the bond is cancelled and a clearance certificate confirming payment of all rates and taxes and other imposts levied on the property, have been paid prior to transfer of the property being registered in your name.
