Taking Ownership of Your New Home

Once all the conditions of the contract have been met and the deposit paid, the next process is the transfer of the property into your name and the registration of the home Mortgage Bond at the Deeds Office. The Conveyancing Attorneys handle this part of the home loan process and will contact you when the documents are ready to be signed.

The seller will also have to provide you with an Electrical Clearance Certificate, as well as a document stating that the property is pest-free. These conditions may vary depending on which province your property is situated in.

The registration and transfer process normally takes between 8-10 weeks if there are no unexpected delays.

The day the transfer is registered in the Deeds Office is the day you become the legal owner of the property. Your lender will start the insurance policy and begin charging interest on the loan and will inform you when the first installment becomes payable. From this date onwards you are also responsible for paying rates and levies (or earlier, depending on conditions of sale agreement).
