15 October 2025 23

Property transactions are among the most significant financial and personal decisions you will ever make. At Weich & Kriel, we offer a full suite of property law services designed to protect your investment, simplify the process, and provide you with peace of mind. Whether you are buying your first home, consolidating properties, or entering into shared ownership arrangements, our team is equipped to guide you through every step.

Bond Registration and Cancellation

Financing a property purchase is a common step for most buyers. Our attorneys handle bond registrations efficiently, ensuring that your mortgage is correctly recorded and legally binding. Should you settle your bond, we also manage bond cancellations, liaising with the banks and the Deeds Office to finalise the process and free up your property title.

Consolidation and Subdivision

Owning multiple adjoining properties or a large erf often requires consolidation or subdivision to unlock value. We assist clients in:

Consolidating smaller plots into a single property for streamlined management.
Subdividing large plots to enable sale, development, or inheritance planning.

This service is especially valuable for developers, farmers, and families seeking flexible ownership structures.

Property Transfer

Buying or selling property is exciting, but the transfer process can be confusing. Our conveyancing team manages the full property transfer process, from drafting and lodging transfer documents to dealing with compliance certificates and municipal requirements. We keep both buyers and sellers informed, ensuring a smooth and transparent transaction.

Servitudes

Property rights often extend beyond simple ownership. With servitudes, one party may acquire rights over another’s land, such as access roads, pipelines, or utility lines. At Weich & Kriel, we draft and register servitude agreements that are clear, enforceable, and protective of our clients’ interests.

Shared Ownership Structures

Joint ownership can be a practical solution for families, business partners, or investment groups. However, without clear agreements, disputes can arise. Our attorneys structure shared ownership agreements that set out the rights, responsibilities, and dispute resolution mechanisms between co-owners, giving everyone involved the security of a well-regulated arrangement.
