Rates clearance from Lesedi

Before the Deeds Office registers a transfer, the municipality must certify that the rates and services on the property are paid up. For a Heidelberg property, we apply to Lesedi for the figures, the seller pays them, and the certificate is issued. We apply early in the transfer so that this step runs alongside the others rather than holding up the end.

Town homes, farms and holdings

Heidelberg has a historic town centre with older homes, newer suburbs like Bergsig and Overkruin, and farms on all sides. Older homes may have heritage considerations, and farmland comes with servitudes and zoning questions. We check the title deed before transfer so that nothing in it comes as a surprise.

Rates clearance in Heidelberg

Properties in Heidelberg fall under the Lesedi Local Municipality. 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.
