Should Sellers Provide Approved Building Plans When Selling Property?

The simple answer is no - it is not a legal requirement that the Seller provide a copy of the house plans. However, the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act mandates that no person may erect, alter add to, or convert any building before the local authorities approve the building plans for the construction or alteration. Consequently, if approved plans are absent, the property owner would be committing a statutory offence.

When a property is sold, the Sale Agreement most often includes a “voetstoots” clause, which means the buyer accepts the property as is with latent (not visible) or patent (visible) defects. However, if the seller knowingly hides a latent defect and the buyer can prove this deception, the seller will remain liable for the defect and may be responsible for repair costs, or the sale could be nullified.

This month and every month, we support the fighters, admire the survivors, honour the taken, and never give up hope. Early detection of breast cancer is one of the most important undertakings to successfully treat the disease.

Facts about breast cancer:

• Early detection of the condition can lead to effective treatment and a positive prognosis. About 90% of patients survive for many years after diagnosis when breast cancer is detected at the early stages.

• Regular self-breast examination and regular mammograms are key to early detection.

• Presenting yourself early for treatment may result in more effective treatment, leading to a reduction in pain and suffering and a significant decrease in the loss of life.

• The designation of October as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" in South Africa reflects a nationwide drive by public and private healthcare structures to raise awareness of this debilitating disease across all races and class structures.

Together, we can make strides in the fight against breast cancer and offer hope to those affected.

𝐁𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 - 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 & 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬

In the light of the history of the Property Condition Report (which was introduced by the former Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB) to protect estate agents against claims of non-disclosure), according to Miltons Matsemela Attorneys, the Act has been interpreted to mean that if you are faced with a seller who is not willing to sign, for the above reasons, the estate agent could possibly use an addendum to address this, and still protect herself / himself.

However, the PPRA have now send out a notice that the Property Condition Report:

(1) serves to protect the consumer, and

(2) they also confirmed that Property Practitioners who do not comply, face the risk of disciplinary sanction without exception. According to Annetjie van Rooyen of STBB Attorneys, the estate agent who did not receive a signed Property Condition Report by the time the mandate has been provided or effected, actions will be viewed in terms of article 67(1) of the PPA as a “minor contravention” and could receive a penalty of up to R15 000.

As such, and to finally answer the question that has been raised: If the seller or landlord (in a residential lease) does not want to sign off on the condition report, the estate agent may not market the property.

Heritage Day is a public holiday celebrated on 24 September in South Africa that recognises and celebrates the cultural diversity of the country. In its essence, the day embraces and celebrates the true meaning of why we call ourselves the Rainbow Nation.

In every community there are living human treasures who possess a high degree of knowledge, skills and history pertaining to different aspects of diverse living heritage. It is therefore important for South Africans to reclaim, restore and preserve these various aspects of living heritage to accelerate the use of living heritage to address challenges communities are facing today.

We call on all South Africans to unite around fires, share our heritage and wave our flag on Heritage Day!🔥

With the appointment of an estate agent, sellers need to ensure that their contracted property practitioner will be the best equipped person to assist them on a potential emotionally draining transaction which has a big impact on their financial well-being.

Here are some questions to ask your property practitioner in your first interview:

1. About the agent and his or her marketing plan:

1.1 Confirm that they have a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC) - check for the current calendar year on the FFC and double-check its validity on the PPRA website (www.theppra.org.za).

Inspirational Quote For Today – There Are No Traffic Jams Along The Extra Mile

This quote emphasizes the idea that going above and beyond, putting in extra effort, or doing more than what is expected often leads to success or achievement without encountering the usual obstacles or difficulties that come with crowded or congested paths.

In other words, when you are willing to invest additional time, energy, and commitment to a task or goal, you may find yourself in a less competitive and more rewarding space, where fewer people are willing to make the same effort. It encourages a mindset of dedication and perseverance in the pursuit of one's goals.
