When a property is sold or an additional bond is taken out against the property or when an interdict is obtained against a property or person, it needs to be registered at the Deeds Office. This process requires a conveyancing attorney to draw up the necessary documents and "lodge" it at the Deeds Office. The Deeds Office will then process the request and verify the validity of the transfer via various steps.
The Deeds Office use a system called DOTS (Deeds Office Tracking System) to track the progress of a registration at the Deeds Office. This information is also available via mydeedsearch.co.za. By using our Deeds Office registration tracking service, you will be able to track the progress of your bond or property registration at the Deeds Office. This information can help you in estimating the registration date of the property or to find out whether there are any problems or hold-ups in the registration process.
Now you don't have to rely on the conveyancing attorney for an update on the progress of your property or bond registration.
NOTE: We also have an Automated Tracking Search where you will receive daily emails for 28 days or until it is registered.
