I purchased a house in Jan . The agreement according to the OTP is that the transfer would be done by the 30th April due to me having an active lease elsewhere which ends at the same time. I've paid all registration and bond costs already. Two weeks ago, I get a call from the agent telling me that she has some bad news which is that the sellers new purchase didn't go as planned. When I asked what that meant for me she started to beat around the bush and not say anything. I then called her senior who advised me that they just wanted to check because sometimes there can be some arrangement made and the transfer postponed on mutual agreement to which i maintained that I do not have anywhere else to go and therefore cannot agree. Now, the transfer attorneys and agents work for the same group, even in the same building and are also both attending to the sellers new purchase. The transfer attorneys then sent a mail more than 1 week ago saying they need to need to request a new updated rates clearance. They did this in March also and it took them 48hr to receive. Today I get another mail saying they are not still waiting and they will lodge once they receive it. Given the timeframe and start of this whole purchase being months ago, they had enough time to plan for this. It now seems it is being deliberately delayed by the agents and TAs to keep their other customer happy. I now know that the transfer won't complete in time (plus all the public holidays) which puts me and my family in a really tough situation. I'd like an to issue a letter of demand as a first step due to the matter discussed above, thereafter potentially cancel and sue for full damages

I bought a stand in Kanana hammanskraal, however the previous owner of the stand had registered for for a RDP house prior me buying the stand. The RDP was never build, because I refused when the RDP builders came. Later after buying the stand he provided me with a tittle deed, which was registered in his name and former partner. How can I change this to my name?
Please see the document I have compiled for this dispute we are busy with. We are trying to cancel a lease agreement under Material breach due to the landlord not doing anything about damp and black mould growing in the house (in less than 6 days of occupation) due to bad construction of the house. I have also attached the lease agreement. The tribunal report is not finished.
Good day, seeking legal advice but I was told to speak to an architect instead. My mother’s neighbor plans to make major structural changes to their property by adding an additional level, which is likely to impact my parents' property. We also share a common lane between the properties, and my parents are understandably cautious about signing any documents without proper consultation. We are concerned about potential issues such as privacy, sunlight obstruction, or structural safety. Could someone guide us on the next steps? Should we consult legal counsel and local planning authorities before proceeding? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tenants electricity was cut off by municipality due to landlords overdue account. Landlord does not have the funds to pay the account. There is a 3 year lease agreement between tenant and landlord. Current tenant was unaware of the issue. The landlord did the same to previous tenant and kept her deposit when she moved after 3 months. They had a 1 year lease agreement. Tenant needs the electricity to be restored, if possible
We have signed a 12 month lease agreement, now 6 months in the agreement the landlord wants us to vacate. In the contract it states that incase of the landlord selling we are to vacate and 30 notice is to be given. We have now received that notice, but upon signing this agreement in the beginning the landlord stated that it's not valid to us. Also we didn't need to pay a deposit. I need advice on how to firmly deal with this as it seems like the landlord has done this before to previous tenants and that his basically trying to force us out.
