Purchasing property is considered to be one of the most important decisions any person can make.
To make things more complicated, over the last decade, rapid changes in the legislation has affected all areas of the property market, including planning, development, land use, tenant debt, municipal services, transfer duties and deeds registration.
Because of these changes, our team of professional property lawyers at Van Deventer & Van Deventer Incorporated provides innovative solutions to the ever-changing circumstances in the property market.
