Offer to purchase question

[zerocool2009]

Conveyancer's job. You pay them for it.

I questioned it. They said they would gladly do it for a fee. So I said no thanks.

God alone knows how COJ got the instruction, maybe via the deeds office.

Anyway, glad its done. And surprisingly, the new property isnt showing as “on my name yet” via online channels example FNB NAV. I know its a 2 to 3 month period before it will

Is the gas bottle for the stove considered a fixture or fitting? Can I take it with when I leave?

It's not, but that's a bit of a dick move

Think its the right “thing” to do! Leave it

So does this mean you can take the lightbulbs as well

You probably could, but I've never met anyone who has bothered. IMO they'd be in the same category as toilet rolls.

After transfer the city council will transfer the rates account from the Seller to the Purchaser. The transfer of this

account should be done by the city council without the need for any intervention from the parties. This process

should take approximately 30 days from registration of transfer but could take several months.

Why would you say that? Surely if it's not considered a fixture / fitting it's very reasonable to take it with me?

Its more a gentleman’s agreement. But if not listed as an item, nothing stops you to take it

It's required to make the stove work, leave it.

If it's a built in stove then the gas bottle must stay.

Or if the property is sold with the stove it must also stay.

Yes it is a fixture.

You can take it with if you specify in the OTP that you want it, but you'll probably need to replace it with a normal stove

All stoves are fixtures.

All stoves are fixtures.

Not in Cape Town, unless it is built-in.

That settles it then. Thanks

I wasn't asking about the stove, just the bottle.

Hopefully things are back to normal this coming week. Waiting for attorneys to lodge. Signed early December.

We're ready to lodge too. Waiting for the go-ahead from the seller as the house they've bought first has to register before we can lodge.

Ooh I got a bill from the lawyers. It can't be financed because I took a good deal already. Oof. Now to get R30k somewhere.

 

[PhireSide]

Good luck with everyone's lodging and transfers this month!

We were notified that our attorney lost some documents, and with the seller being out of the country, they need to get documents couriered now.

Month 4 and counting.

Which ones? Bond or conveyancing?

I asked for pro-forma invoices from both sets up front. Paid the conveyancers already, haven't paid the bond ones (apparently this is only due when I actually sign, somehow Standard Bank is taking a while to get things ready), but I have fortunately put money aside for that purpose.
