Don’t Buy Before You’ve Viewed...

Many buyers have learnt the hard way, that there are some very important things that should be checked before signing the papers to buy a new home. This week Bruce Swain, CEO of Leapfrog Property Group discusses why it’s so important to physically view a property before buying, detailing questions buyers need to ask.

These days most buyers are using online property portals

and the bathroom, tends to be the most expensive. Buyers need to have a look at the finishes in the kitchen as well as opening cupboards and looking at the ceiling to see if there are any damp spots”, advises Swain. A musty smell, warped paint and mould are all signs that there could be problems with the insulation and/or plumbing.

It’s also important to inspect the built-in appliances (should they be included in the sale).

2)

“Key elements to check-off in the bathroom include the finishes, opening the taps to see what the water pressure is like, to ask about the state of the geyser and the plumbing,” believes Swain. Another tip is to test the hot water to ensure that the geyser is working properly.

Relying on photos and video alone can be tempting, especially when relocating to another province, but Swain notes that there have been many cases where properties have been mispresented by misleading or even digitally altered photos. “When it comes to deciding on where to live, which has massive implications in terms of finances and quality of life, it’s very important to know exactly what you’re buying,” believes Swain.

When walking around lift up area rugs where possible to ensure that they’re not covering damaged flooring. In coastal areas this could help to identify damage caused by wood boring beetles.

What to look out for: Take special notice of any neglected maintenance while touring the property – small things like grout that needs to be replaced could indicate that other regular maintenance has also been neglected. Swain shares that; “One of the biggest tips we can share with buyers is to ask the agent showing the property specific questions, especially if there seems to be cause for concern – get as much information as possible before making an offer.

While sellers have to be forthcoming with problems, the voetstoots clause does protect them to a large degree and buyers would be well advised to be thorough when vetting a property.”

Swain highlights four areas to inspect carefully when viewing a property: 1)

The kitchen

“The kitchen is always a must see as renovating this area,

“The property portals have revolutionised the way buyers shop, but they do need to be cautious – viewing photos online is no replacement for viewing the property in person,” says Bruce Swain, CEO of Leapfrog Property Group.

It’s important to take a walk not just through the property, but around it as well. Swain explains that, “Most properties will have small cracks in the plaster which are not a problem, however any large cracks need to be queried as these could point to problems with the actual structure”.

A walk around the property will also allow buyers to examine the roof (if possible, if not ask detailed questions about leaks and if there’s concern, include a suspensive condition in this regard – subject to a professional inspection). Look at the state of the gutters, window frames (check for rot if they’re wooden, rust if they’re metal) and the landscaping; “A well-tended garden shows a level of care and the chances are good that the rest of the property is well cared for too,” says Swain.

While it’s impossible to identify all potential issues during a viewing, ticking off this checklist will go a long way to ensuring that the buyer knows what they’re getting and can negotiate with the seller to correct and patent defects as part of the sales agreement.

Sellers beware: How to spot a ‘bogus’ offer to purchase On Show Sunday 2- 4:30

Sourced

If you're selling your property and an offer seems too good to refuse, should you be concerned?

“Receiving an offer to purchase (OTP) on your property can be a heady moment, but we urge you to take the time to carefully look things over.

Above all, do not allow a seemingly ‘too good to be true’ offer overrule your good sense,” says Andreas Wassenaar, Licensee & Principal of Seeff Dolphin Coast.

Where no significant money is paid within a very short period (three to seven days) it is a weak offer and is best avoided.

“Danger signs are when a potential purchaser is quick to offer full asking price, but cannot show how he or she is going to finance the purchase.

He says an offer where no significant money is paid within a very short

scam artists start coming out of the woodwork. Bogus buyers will usually try to bypass the estate agent, offer to “Serious buyers will be ready to pay at pay money straight into your account, and try to hurry things along.

He says your estate agent and conveyancing attorney are the experts in the field, and are your allies. Keep them in the loop every step of the way to avoid potential pitfalls.

“It is our duty and responsibility to look after our client’s or seller’s interests. If an offer seems too good to be true, it usually is,” says Wassenaar.

The Litigation process in terms of Civil Disputes and Trial Proceedings What is Litigation?

Litigation is the process of taking legal action when two or more parties experience a dispute. A dispute is a disagreement between two or more people.

3. Sam and Randles Inc. did not receive payment from the neighbour; as a result, they decided to institute legal proceedings against the neighbour. In order to do this a summons must be issued, together with the particulars of the claim.This means that the claim is allocated a case number by the court and a file is then opened at the court.

The particulars of claim include all the relevant information relating For example, this disagreement can relate to maintenance after a to the incident and the expenses incurred. The documents that divorce, the divorce itself or your neighbour disturbing the use and support this claim (the veterinary bill, the bills for the subsequent enjoyment of your property. prescribed medication, communication between himself and the neighbour and the photos of his injured dog before and after the vet Civil Litigation saw her are attached to this). [As Sam is the one instituting the action he will be called the Plaintiff] As an example, we will look at Sam who has had to pay veterinary bills after his neighbour’s dog attacked his Golden Retriever.

4. The summons, with the particulars of claim and attached documents, are then served on the defendant (Sam’s neighbour) by The litigation process has many rules and time periods that have to the Sheriff of the Court. be complied with. One of the terms that potential clients could hear is ‘prescription’.

5. Sam’s neighbour then has the choice of paying the money owed or submitting a notice of intention to defend.

A claim has prescribed when the claim was not brought within the required time. Essentially the claim falls away. The prescription 6. Sam’s neighbour has to then submit a plea and a counter claim. period in South Africa is usually three years.

A plea is a response to the particulars of claim. His lawyer will go

through each point in the particulars of claim and see what they Should Sam wait four years before trying to claim the money back disagree with or admit to. from his neighbour, the neighbour will be able to use prescription to have the claim thrown out.

A counter claim would be used if the opposing party wants to claim

Litigation Process The process that Sam and his claim will go through will be as follows: 1. Sam approaches Randles Incorporated (shortly after the incident took place) to set up a consultation as he would like to claim the money back from his neighbour.

When he arrived for his consultation he brought with him the veterinary bill, the bills for the subsequent prescribed medication, communication between himself and the neighbour and the photos of his injured dog before and after the vet saw her.

2. After considering all the relevant facts of the case, Sam was informed that he is entitled to claim the money back from his neighbour.

A letter of demand was then sent to his neighbour demanding payment of the money owed or legal action would be taken against him.

something from Sam. This would happen if Sam’s neighbour said that his dog was also injured or Sam was walking his dog off the lead and should therefore be liable for some of the damages.

7. Sam can also ask the veterinarian who treated his dog to draft an affidavit explaining the extent of the injuries that he treated.

8. Once this is done the matter will be set down. This means that the court date will be set for the parties to appear in court.

2. After this the Plaintiff’s attorney will call up witnesses to testify. These could be people who saw the incident, the veterinarian, etc. The Plaintiff’s attorney could also call Sam to the stand to testify.

3. After each of the witnesses are sworn in they will go through an examination in chief, the cross examination (by the opposing attorney) and then the re-examination.

4. Once the Plaintiff’s attorney has presented all of their witnesses the defendant’s attorney will call their witnesses and go through the same process.

5. When the presiding officer (judge or magistrate) is satisfied with the evidence presented the attorneys will make their closing statements in which they summarise their case and highlight the evidence presented in their favour.

6. The presiding officer then deliberates and makes a decision.

This can be done several months after the court date.

Randles Inc. – Your litigation lawyer in Pietermaritzburg As this is a rather simplified overview of the trial procedure, it should be kept in mind that each case is different and has its own particular needs, as does each client.

Clearly the trial procedure is not a quick fix to the problem at hand. It can be quite a lengthy, drawn out process.

There are alternatives to the court process such as mediation and arbitration. This is also known as Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR. Some parties settle the dispute before the court date arrives.

This settlement is then negotiated by the attorneys to ensure that both parties’ interests are looked after.

9. After all this the parties will exchange documents relating to the case. This is called discovery.

Court Appearance What to expect on the day you are set to appear in court: 1. Both parties’ attorneys will address the court with an opening statement.

This is an explanation of the facts and brief points that will be touched on by each party.
