As a juggling parent and business owner, I understand that life can sometimes make it difficult to take time off work for a consultation. After-hours virtual consultations can be arranged where necessary, providing a convenient alternative for clients who are unable to meet during office hours.

This would include the drafting of service agreements between service providers or setting out your terms and conditions for the business. Assistance with company administration agreements which include shareholder agreements, sale of a business, company related advice.

Our timeline at Hanri Swanepoel Inc is usually 6 weeks after the agreement of sale is signed and the instruction is received. However certain transactions can take longer depending on whether a later registration date is required or if there are certain delays that one cannot foresee. We are always transparent with the client and should delays be foreseen, we will inform the client as soon as possible.

Most delays occur where there are tenants in the property and the Purchaser do not wish to proceed with the tenants in the property.

Estate transfers usually take longer because the Master of the High Court has certain roles to fulfil, which includes consent to sell a property out of the estate or to wait for the Letter of Executorship.

The Deeds office can reject a matter for various reasons, which could not have been foreseen by the Conveyancer, which requires a minimal delay of 7 days.

Delays can also be caused when there are problems with unpaid Municipal and Levy Charges or if SARS queries a transaction.
