When you buy or sell property, you're trusting someone with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

That's why it's important to know that estate agencies form part of South Africa's accountable institutions under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (F**A).

This means agencies have legal obligations to:
✔ Verify client identities
✔ Keep accurate records
✔ Report suspicious transactions
✔ Help protect the property market from fraud and financial crime

While the paperwork may sometimes feel like an inconvenience, these measures are there to protect buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and the property industry as a whole.

At UNIPROP, we embrace these responsibilities because accountability builds trust, and trust is the foundation of every successful property transaction.

💧🏡 Boreholes: what every property owner should understand

Boreholes are increasingly used as a solution to water challenges, but they are not as simple as drilling and switching on a pump.

Groundwater is a regulated national resource, and property owners may need to comply with municipal requirements such as notification, approval, or registration. Even when a professional contractor is used, the legal responsibility remains with the property owner.

A borehole can add value to a property, but only when it is properly installed, compliant, and correctly managed.

Over time, boreholes can also lose efficiency due to sand build-up, incorrect pumping systems, or overuse. Systems that draw water too aggressively often shorten the lifespan of the borehole and increase maintenance costs.

A well-designed system typically includes the correct pump size and a storage tank, allowing water to be used steadily without overloading the borehole.

In property transactions, buyers are becoming more cautious and often request proof of compliance, installation details, and water quality information before proceeding.

Bottom line: a borehole is not just a feature — it is a long-term water system that must be planned, installed, and maintained correctly to remain an asset.

Mandatory Disclosure Forms: What Every Seller and Buyer Must Know

The property landscape in South Africa has changed, and it is important that both sellers and buyers understand how this affects every transaction.

Under the Property Practitioners Act 22 of 2019, a Mandatory Disclosure Form is now a legal requirement in all property sales and rental agreements. This is not just paperwork — it plays a key role in protecting everyone involved.

What is the Mandatory Disclosure Form?

The Mandatory Disclosure Form (also known as an Immovable Property Condition Report) is completed by the seller or landlord. It records the condition of the property and highlights any known defects.

This includes:

Visible issues (cracks, damp, leaks)
Problems that may not always be obvious
Any defects the owner is aware of, even if previously repaired

The seller confirms that the information is true to the best of their knowledge.

When must it be completed?

The form must be completed and signed before a property is marketed or listed. It must also be attached to every Offer to Purchase or Lease Agreement.

If this is not done correctly, it can create serious legal risk. In some cases, it may be treated as if no defects were disclosed at all.

Why this matters for sellers

Honest disclosure protects you.

Failing to disclose known defects can lead to disputes or legal claims after transfer. While some sellers worry that disclosure may affect the price, transparency often builds trust and helps prevent deals from collapsing later.

Why this matters for buyers

The disclosure form gives you clarity.

It helps you:

Make informed decisions
Understand the true condition of the property
Avoid unexpected costs after transfer

A properly completed form creates confidence and reduces uncertainty.

A better, simpler approach

At UNIPROP Real Estate, the disclosure form is handled from the start — not as an afterthought.

By completing it upfront:

Sellers are protected
Buyers are fully informed before making an offer
The process becomes smoother and more professional

Clear and honest disclosure is not just a legal requirement — it is the foundation of a successful property transaction.
