Germiston is one of the oldest towns on the East Rand and the seat of the City of Ekurhuleni. It mixes long-established residential suburbs with industrial and commercial land around Wadeville and Elandsfontein, so the transfers we handle here range from first homes to business premises.
Older towns bring older title deeds. Restrictive conditions, servitudes and building lines registered decades ago still bind the property today, and they can affect what you are allowed to build or run on it.
Homes in established suburbs
In suburbs like Primrose, Lambton, Elspark and Dinwiddie, many homes have been extended over the years. Before a sale, it helps to confirm that the additions appear on approved building plans. Unapproved work is a common reason for a buyer to delay or a bank to ask questions, and it is easier to sort out before the offer is signed.
Commercial and industrial property
If you are buying or selling business premises in Wadeville, Elandsfontein or the Germiston industrial areas, the transfer often involves a company or trust as buyer or seller, VAT instead of transfer duty, and sometimes a lease that has to continue after the sale. We handle the transfer and the commercial side together, so the sale agreement, the company resolutions and the transfer documents agree with each other.
What we handle in Germiston
Property transfers, bond registrations and bond cancellations.
Sectional title transfers, levy clearances and body corporate consents.
Wills, estate planning and deceased estates, including transferring property to heirs.
Antenuptial contracts, notarial bonds and servitudes.
Rates clearance in Germiston
Properties in Germiston fall under the City of Ekurhuleni. Before the Deeds Office registers a transfer, the municipality must confirm that nothing is owed on the property's rates and services account. We apply for those figures in the first week of the transfer, so that this step runs alongside the bank and the bond cancellation instead of waiting for them.
