Understanding the Role of Conveyancers in Reducing High Municipal Rates Clearance Figures

The Trusted Experts Behind the Landmark Historical Debt Court Case – Jordaan et al ConCourt Victory

For conveyancers and attorneys, partnering with a reliable expert is critical to ensure a smooth property transfer.

Municipal Debt Specialist has established a formidable reputation in the field, built on over two decades of expertise and multiple High Court victories, including the infamous Jordaan Constitutional Court case that reshaped the interpretation of how Section 118 debts are handled across South Africa.

This case reaffirmed our position as the leading authority in managing complex and high rates clearance figures, making us the go-to partner for conveyancers looking to protect their clients’ interests.

This victory, achieved entirely through our legal strategies, cemented our status as the foremost specialists in reducing high rates clearance figures.

We bring the same level of diligence, thoroughness, and legal prowess to every case we handle, making us a trusted partner for conveyancers nationwide.

 

We Are Not “Runners” – We Are Specialist Consultants

A common misconception is that we perform the role of “runners” who simply handle basic municipal debt resolution, obtain clearance figures, and certificates, albeit a potentially important role.

This could not be further from the truth.

Municipal Debt Specialist is a professional consulting practice that specialises in auditing and reducing high municipal clearance figures, which are necessary for clearance certificates required by the deeds office—figures that your firm, or a runner, might otherwise obtain.

Unlike runners, we apply in-depth legal strategies and conduct comprehensive audits, uncovering discrepancies that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Our expertise is validated by our successes in our matter, including the pivotal Jordaan case, making us the most trusted name in the Section 118 space.

WHY OUR AUDITS AND LEGAL STRATEGIES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR TOP ATTORNEYS AND BANKS

 

Mitigate Legal Risk for Your Clients: Comprehensive Section 118 Management

We don’t just deal with reducing Section 118(1) debts in order to obtain a Rates Clearance Certificate. Our expertise extends to all forms of municipal debt, including Section 118(2) debts arising from liquidations and sequestrations, as well as Section 118(3) debts.

We ensure that every debt associated with a property is addressed, resulting in full and final settlement.

This comprehensive service protects conveyancers from the risks of any issues from municipal clearances, such as potential interdicts on sales, utility shut-offs, and threats from aggressive municipal debt collectors by not being dealt with appropriately.

By partnering with us, your firm can handle even the most complex cases with total peace of mind, knowing that all municipal debts have been resolved effectively and cost-efficiently.

Save Time and Ensure Smoother Transactions

Speed is essential in property transfers. Delays caused by high or incorrect clearance figures can frustrate both buyers and sellers, reflecting poorly on the entire transaction.

By partnering with Municipal Debt Specialist early in the process, we ensure that clearance figures are reduced and corrected swiftly, minimising back-and-forth communication with municipalities and ensuring smoother, faster transactions.

By involving us early in the process will prevent delays ensuring a transfer is completed within 6-8 weeks.

WE WILL NOT CAUSE DELAYS IN YOUR TRANSFERS!

This efficiency not only helps you adhere to tight timelines but also reassures your clients that they are receiving the most accurate and legally compliant clearance figures and meticulous debt settlement before transfer available.
