Who we are
Marula & Finch is a Pretoria practice of conveyancers and notaries.
We register transfers and bonds for families, developers and banks, and draw up the notarial deeds that go with property. Every file has a named conveyancer, and we tell buyers, sellers and agents where the transfer stands at each step, from the signed offer to registration at the Deeds Office. We also draft wills and antenuptial contracts and wind up deceased estates.
What we do
7 areas of work, each explained plainly.
Conveyancing
Property Transfers
A property transfer moves ownership of a house, sectional title unit, farm or commercial property from seller to buyer, and is only complete once it is registered at the Deeds Office. The seller usually appoints the transfer attorney; the buyer usually pays the transfer costs.
- Checking the Offer to Purchase and its conditions
- FICA verification of buyers and sellers
- Rates, levy and other clearance certificates
- Transfer duty submissions to SARS
Conveyancing
Bond Registrations and Cancellations
When you buy with a home loan, the bank instructs a bond attorney to register the bond over the property at the Deeds Office. When you sell a bonded property, the existing bond must be cancelled at the same time as the transfer.
- Explaining the bond documents before you sign
- Meeting the bank's conditions before lodgement
- Bond cancellations, including the notice the bank requires
- Further bonds and switching banks
Conveyancing
Sectional Title
A sectional title unit comes with a share of the common property and the body corporate's rules. Transferring one needs a few extra steps on top of an ordinary transfer.
- Levy clearance certificates
- Exclusive use areas and notarial cessions
- Homeowners' association consent in estates
- Checking the participation quota and rules
What we stand for

You deal with the same person from the signed offer to registration.
