COMMON QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does a first consultation with one of your attorneys cost?

Our first consultation is charged at a fixed fee, which we confirm when you book so there are no surprises. It usually lasts up to an hour and covers your situation and your options.

If you go ahead, we send you a written fee estimate before further work starts.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Bring your ID and any documents linked to your matter, such as contracts, leases, title deeds, letters of demand, court papers or payslips. Relevant emails or messages can be printed or shown to us on your phone.

If you are unsure what is relevant, bring everything you have. We will sort through it with you and copy what we need.

How long does a property transfer take?

Most transfers in Gauteng take about two to three months from the signed offer to purchase to registration at the Deeds Office. This depends on bond approval, rates clearance figures from the City of Johannesburg, and how quickly both parties sign documents.

We update you at each step: bond approval, transfer duty paid to SARS, lodgement and registration day. If something causes a delay, we explain it and what we are doing.

Can you help if my employer has dismissed me?

Yes. We advise employees on unfair dismissal, retrenchment and disciplinary processes. Time matters, because an unfair dismissal dispute must usually be referred to the CCMA within 30 days of the dismissal.

Bring your contract, payslips and any letters from your employer, and we will explain your options.

Do you only act for Rosebank clients?

No. Our office is in Rosebank, but we act for clients across Johannesburg and Gauteng, and many matters can be handled for clients elsewhere in South Africa. We can meet at our Cradock Avenue office or by video call.

Property transfers and contracts can mostly be handled remotely, with signing in person only where the law requires it.
