Deeds Office Process- Cape Town

At the Deeds Office your documents face three layers of scrutiny; one mis-filed page halts registration. We keep your file tight and ready so it sails through junior, senior, and registrar checks.

1. Lodgement

• The transfer attorney will arrange simultaneous lodgement of all linked transactions which typically will be the transfer, the bond cancellation and new bond to be registered over the property (referred to as a 'batch').

2. Examination of Deeds (Three Levels)

• The documents lodged will go through a checking process by Deeds Office examiners to ensure that the documents have been drafted in accordance with our law (Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937) and other applicable laws depending on the nature of the transaction.
