Attorney-led Property Sales and Conveyancing
Sell Smarter. Transfer Faster.
At Günther Attorneys & Conveyancers, we offer a complete solution for property sellers. Whether you’ve already sold privately, through an estate agent, or you’d like us to handle the entire transaction from listing to registration - we’ve got you covered.
We are a Cape Town-based law firm with national reach, specialising in seamless, attorney-led property transactions. Our offering includes two distinct services, depending on where you are in the process:
Full-Service Sales
(Listing to Registration)
We manage the entire property sale under one legal roof. That means we list your property, handle buyer enquiries, manage the negotiation, draft and finalise the offer to purchase, and then attend to full conveyancing and registration.
You deal with one professional team from day one, with no agent handovers, no exorbitant commission, and no risk of poorly drafted contracts.
Our commission is 2.5%, no VAT, with a minimum fee of R30 000.00. There are no additional estate agency fees, and we remain your single point of accountability throughout.
Standard Conveyancing (External Sale, Attorney Transfer)
If you’ve already signed an offer to purchase, whether through an estate agent or a private buyer, we’ll ensure all legal requirements are met and manage the transaction professionally from instruction to registration.
We work directly with all parties involved, keep you updated throughout, and act to protect your interests in compliance with all legislative and financial requirements, including FICA, municipal clearances, bond cancellations, SARS obligations and everything inbetween.
We’re regularly instructed by sellers, buyers, agents and developers to manage the conveyancing of residential and commercial property across South Africa.
Frequently
asked property questions.
Yes. You receive regular, clear updates at each stage—from instruction to lodgement. We don’t leave you wondering what’s happening.
Transfer documents must still be signed in original hard copy for the Deeds Office, but we provide digital versions for review, and we arrange courier or in-person signature depending on your location.
We frequently deal with foreign buyers and sellers. We assist with international FICA compliance, arrange for remote signing of documents, and liaise with banks and embassies to ensure a compliant and smooth process.
We hold all deposits in our trust account in accordance with the Legal Practice Act. Funds are protected, audited, and only released in terms of the signed agreement.
Yes, but timing is important. We review your agency agreement to assess whether cancellation is possible without penalty. If you’re considering switching, speak to us first before taking any steps.
If the buyer breaches the agreement, we act swiftly to enforce your rights. We may cancel the deal, retain the deposit (if applicable), or institute legal proceedings. The terms of your offer are drafted to protect you from the outset.
Yes. We arrange the required electrical, beetle, gas and plumbing inspections and certificates on your behalf, although the cost of remedial work, if needed, remains for your account. We ensure certificates are issued before lodgement.
Yes, provided there is no conflict of interest and both parties consent. It is common for the conveyancer to act for both sides in residential transfers, and we disclose our role clearly to all parties.
Our commission is a flat 2.5% with no VAT, and a minimum of R30 000.00. This is significantly lower than traditional estate agent rates and includes all listing and sale-related services.
A buyer may appoint their own attorney for advice, but as the seller, you choose the conveyancer unless otherwise agreed. We protect your rights and interests as the transferring attorney.
You can host your own viewings, or we can assist depending on your location and the arrangement. We discuss this upfront and tailor the approach to suit you.
Yes. As part of our attorney-led property sales model, we handle the listing process on major platforms and promote your property directly to vetted buyers. Your property is marketed professionally without needing an estate agent.
Yes. While we’re not valuers, we provide guidance on pricing strategy and review market comparisons. Our goal is to ensure you attract serious buyers without undervaluing your asset.
We are conveyancers. The Conveyancing process is led by our firm, which means fewer delays, fewer misunderstandings, and complete legal oversight.
Everything. Marketing assistance, offer vetting, drafting, compliance checks (FICA, tax, clearance), bond cancellation, Consents and Clearances, Deeds Office lodgement, and transfer all handled in-house.
No, we handle transfers nationally. Whether you're in Gauteng, the Garden Route, or sitting abroad selling SA property, we manage the process efficiently from our Cape Town base.
Absolutely, and we recommend it. Generic templates often fail to protect the seller or buyer properly. We draft watertight offers to purchase, tailored to your property, your risks, and your deal terms.
No. At Günther Attorneys & Conveyancers, we offer a full attorney-led sales process from listing your property and vetting buyers to transfer and registration. This means you can sell legally and securely, without paying estate agent commission.
