Correspondent Conveyancing

The transfer of properties in the Eastern Cape will soon be the responsibility of the King William’s Town deeds registry office. This function, which was previously handled by the deeds office in Cape Town, will be shifted to King William’s Town on December 4, 2017. The move follows Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti’s decision to approve changes in the jurisdictional areas.

Nkwinti’s spokeswoman, Linda Page, confirmed the news,

Eastern Cape properties that were previously registered in the
Western Cape are now being moved to King William’s Town.

Page also said.

This means [where people] had to travel to Cape Town to
register before, the process will now be brought closer.

As a result of this development and in order to facilitate the most efficient property transfers, we have opened a correspondent office in King William’s Town that operates as a professional and fully functional branch office. This correspondent practice is ably run by Jacques Steyl and Jon Bax, who both possess all the expertise and practical skills to ensure that the flow of deeds runs smoothly.
Our aim is always to keep our correspondents updated. This is, together with our technical knowledge and experience, how we ensure that our correspondents are able to keep their clients satisfied at all times.
