The request is based on a currently ongoing transfer. Agents and transfer attorneys are part of the same group. They called me to advise that the seller did not manage to secure their new property and might need to remain in the property a bit longer. It seems like they might deliberately delay the transfer as per the OTP as they are also attending to the sellers new purchase.
Property purchase from my sibling, simple offer to purchase required, no bond required. Purchase price R , split in two equal payments (one immediate, one on 31 December ), non suspensive for transfer. Sibling lives overseas but has given specific power of attorney to my mother to sign on the property. Thanks,
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
My partner and I are new home owners who have been keeping up with our home loan payments until . I lost my job and she was the only bread winner. I also tried to help with contract jobs but now I've been unemployed for more than a year. We need help with not losing our first home and live on the streets. Can we pay a reduced payment over a longer period.
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
