10 Proactive Tasks That Will Help You Prevent Randburg Property Sale Delays
This is a short list of 10 things that will make sure that your Randburg property sale is not delayed. Transferring a property can be stressful for all concerned, but we will be working closely with attorneys who work closely with quite a few external parties, and our control over the process is limited. Click here to connect on WhatsApp. But the best and most proactive steps you can take to ensure you are able to avoid delays to your transfer at all costs include:
Building plans: Are your building plans in hand? Are they the final and most recent building plans? Have they been dated and stamped? Gosh, the process to have plans drawn up can take months so if you have a freestanding home, please start here.
Secure Certificates of Compliance: I always recommend getting 1 or two or even three service providers to come in and quote on the COC requirements. It’s always interesting to see how fast the swings can be. Cornerstone Homes does recommend contractors we know and trust, but this really is something that can be costly if you have not budgeted for it, and it can create delays when the transfer is waiting for a COC.
Complete repairs: Before you list, go through your property from front to back and have a look at what needs fixing. Make sure you are ready to sell when you list. Buyers could delay a sale waiting for something to be fixed, especially if it is in the special conditions of the Offer to Purchase.
Organise your documentation: Collect all the information that is required by law to support a property transfer. Find that title deed, find your building plans, provide copies of your IDs, send your Marriage Certificate and furnish your SARS info.
Price your home realistically: As discussed, overpricing leads to extended time on the market. Work with an experienced real estate agent to determine a competitive listing price based on market conditions and your home’s unique features.
Declutter: Trust me, a decluttered home is a dream. A cluttered home can actually be a nightmare. Buyers like the illusion of space, and a cluttered home makes it hard for buyers to visualise space in a home. Trust me, a well-presented home sells faster and may even fetch a higher price.
Flexibility with viewings: Inflexibility can discourage buyers. Be open to accommodating reasonable viewing requests and be willing to come to the party when an offer is discussed. Sometimes, meeting in the middle is a great result between two parties.
Work with a reliable and well-known estate agent in the area: Choose an experienced estate agent with a strong track record and great local market knowledge. A strong agent will guide you, and they will gently manage expectations as well as highlight any big issues to consider, like a pool that needs TLC or a wall that needs painting.

Buyer contingencies: Buyers could ask for a property inspection. This can take up to 90 minutes and would always be done at the buyer’s cost. This can cause delays at the offer stage, especially if repairs were agreed upon that may be running behind schedule.
Negotiate repair costs: After a home inspection, buyers may request repairs. Be open to negotiating these requests reasonably to keep the deal on track and prevent delays caused by disagreements.
