This depends entirely on the nature of your matter. Routine conveyancing transactions typically resolve within 60–90 days; more complex corporate or employment disputes may take considerably longer. We will give you a realistic assessment of timelines during your initial consultation.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of immovable property from one party to another. It involves drafting, executing, and registering all necessary documents to legally transfer title — ensuring the transaction is valid, complete, and properly recorded with the Deeds Office.

Typically you will need: proof of identity (national ID or passport), the current title deed or an agreement of sale, and any mortgage or bond documents if applicable. We will provide a complete checklist at the outset of your matter.

Transfer fees cover the legal and administrative costs of registering the property in the purchaser's name — including conveyancing fees, stamp duty, and registration fees. In most cases, these are borne by the purchaser. We will provide a full, itemised fee estimate at the start of your matter.
