Two practice areas. Full attention on both.
Marx & Fensham Incorporated advises businesses on the agreements and structures they rely on, and property owners on transfers and bonds.
We explain the legal position in plain language, tell you what to expect, and keep you informed until the work is done.
Agreements that hold up.
Transfers that register.
Most disputes and delays start in the detail. We deal with it before it becomes a problem.

Read moreHow a property transfer runs
Every transfer is different. Most follow the same five stages.
Sale agreement signed
Send us the signed offer to purchase. We open the file and confirm the parties and the property details.
Documents and clearances
We collect the transfer documents and apply for the municipal rates clearance and, where it applies, the levy clearance.
Bond and guarantees
If the buyer is financing the purchase, we work with the bank’s attorneys until the guarantees are in place.
Signing
Buyer and seller sign the transfer documents.
Lodgement and registration
We lodge the documents at the Deeds Registry. Registration follows once the Deeds Registry has examined and approved them.
Timing depends on the municipality, the bank and the Deeds Registry. We keep you updated at each stage.
