What Causes Delays in Registration?

Purchasing a new property can be a lengthy and complicated process involving several different co-ordinating parties. While each sales transaction follows a similar course, the time frame can vary substantially depending on a variety of factors. The timeous transfer of property ownership from seller to purchaser relies heavily on the co-operation of all parties; these parties predominantly consist of the seller and purchaser, the conveyancers, City Council and the Deeds Office. Each is required to fulfill certain obligations to proceed with the transfer and registration of the property. Failing to meet these obligations results in considerable delays. These delays can have significant financial implications for all involved.

 

For the most part, registration delays are avoidable provided all parties ensure that the necessary documentation is up-to-date and available on request, and that the correct procedures are followed in order to expedite the transfer process.
