Buying a property together is exciting – until the relationship ends and one person wants out, while the other refuses to cooperate.

Can one co-owner simply refuse to sell, buy the other out, or bring the joint ownership to an end?

A recent High Court judgment in 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘷 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯 provides important insight into the rights of co-owners and the legal remedy of 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰.

The judgment highlights an important principle for unmarried couples who own property together: 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲.

As electric vehicles become increasingly popular, more homeowners are considering installing charging stations at their properties. But before you plug in, there are a few important questions to consider.

• Does the installation require a Certificate of Compliance?
• What about approved building plans if the charger is installed inside a garage or other structure?
• Do Body Corporate or HOA rules apply?
• And what could happen to your insurance cover if an EV or battery fire occurs?

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” – Phil Jackson

Different strengths. Different talents. Different perspectives. Different personalities.

A great team doesn’t ask everyone to be the same. It creates a space where everyone can bring their best – knowing that their contribution matters and that they don’t have to do it alone.

Because your strength makes the team stronger.
And the strength of the team gives you the confidence to go further.💪🙂

When an estate agent describes a property as "𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨" 𝘰𝘳 "𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭", is that simply sales talk – or could those words create legal responsibility for the property’s condition and safety?

A recent Western Cape High Court case, 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘷 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, looked at exactly this issue after the wooden deck of a property collapsed just seven months after the buyers moved in.

The case highlights the important distinction between marketing language and factual representations, as well as what buyers, sellers and estate agents should understand about 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬.

When a divorce is ongoing, questions surrounding the family home can become particularly complex – especially when the property is registered in only one spouse’s name and is subsequently sold.

A recent 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝒗 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒌 considered whether a spouse’s pending accrual claim could entitle them to remain in a property that had been sold to new owners.

Property Market Terminology | Occupation Date vs Transfer Date: What’s the Difference?

These two dates are often confused, but they have very different meanings when buying or selling property.

🔑𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 – The day the buyer is entitled to move into the property or the seller must vacate. This is when the buyer takes physical occupation and receives the keys.

📜𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 – The day the property is legally registered in the buyer’s name at the Deeds Office. This is when legal ownership officially passes to the buyer.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

If occupation takes place before transfer, the buyer is occupying a property that is still legally owned by the seller. In this situation, the buyer will generally be required to pay occupational rent to the seller, as agreed in the Offer to Purchase.

For example: If you move into your new home before transfer takes place, you may need to pay the seller occupational rent until the property is officially registered in your name.

Understanding the difference between occupation and transfer can help avoid confusion and unexpected costs during the property transfer process. Click here to read more: https://www.cch.co.za/news/understanding-the-details-of-the-occupational-rent-clause-in-a-sales-contract/

“When you are happy, you can forgive a great deal.” – Princess Diana

There is something powerful about being at peace within yourself. Perhaps true happiness is not about having a perfect life, but about having a heart that is strong enough to forgive, gentle enough to understand, and wise enough to let go.

Princess Diana was admired for her compassion, kindness and ability to see the humanity in others.

Sometimes, happiness changes the way we see everything – even the things we once couldn’t forgive.🤍

📈SOMERSET WEST RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET REPORT: FIRST SEMESTER 2026

The latest Somerset West Residential Property Market Report provides valuable insight into the performance of one of the Cape Winelands’ most sought-after residential markets during the first half of 2026.

While overall residential sales volumes declined by 𝟐𝟓%, the market continues to demonstrate notable resilience. The luxury segment, in particular, recorded strong activity, with properties priced above 𝐑𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝟏 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬.

At the same time, exceptionally low sales turnover in the freehold market highlights the continued shortage of available properties, while selected suburbs recorded significant capital growth during the period.
