Foreign investors face new challenges when they invest in South Africa for the first time. For the non-English-speaking it is often difficult to understand the legal terms in a Deed of Sale. Often the investor does not realize that the signature on an offer of Purchase can legally bind him in the moment the Seller accepts the offer. Various points can become very important and dangerous for a foreign buyer which usually does not mean much to a local buyer. To avoid misunderstandings right from the beginning of a property transaction, it is important to obtain professional help.

We offer a legal review of the Offer to Purchase or Deed of Sale within 24 hours. We advise of necessary changes, can draft and ammend the documents. We can further assist and accompany the investor through the whole process of the property transaction, liaise with all parties involved e.g. the transferring attorney (conveyancer), estate agent and bond originator.
