Inherited farms and family land

When farmland is left to several heirs, they inherit it together unless the will says otherwise, and dividing it later can need municipal approval for a subdivision. A clear will avoids that. If the land is already in a deceased estate, we work with the executor to decide whether the heirs take it jointly, one heir buys out the others, or the property is sold.

Town and smallholding transfers

In Nigel town, Dunnottar and Sharon Park, transfers follow the usual steps for a freehold home. On smallholdings, we also check boreholes and water use, access roads and servitudes, because these affect how you can use the land after transfer.

Rates clearance in Nigel

Properties in Nigel 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.
