Deeds Office Property Search

A lot of information is available at the Deeds Office including property information. As the Deeds Office is the custodian of all property transfers in South Africa, it also contains all the information about a specific property. There are providers and systems out there that try to "mimick" the Deeds Office system by providing "offline" searches or searches from their own database. In the end, the Deeds Office is the only place where the most current information about a property can be obtained.

A Property Search provides you with the ability to draw information on an erf, township, sectional scheme, farm or registration division by providing the name as well as the Erf, Farm or Scheme number to the South African Deeds Registry.

A typical Deeds Office property search will contain information like:

• Owner Details (incl full names, ID Number, percentage share owned, price paid, last sale date, registration date).
• Property Details.
• Registered Bond Amount (this is the bond amount registered against the property and not necessarily the outstanding bond amount).
• Any interdicts or mineral rights or other restrictions registered against the property.
• Property transfer history.

This information is vital for anyone interested in buying the property, debt collection companies, tracing agents or anyone interested in the details of a property.
