The Bond Registration Process For First Time Home Buyers

 

Step 1: Pre-Qualification

Obtain a pre-qualification certificate/letter to present to a real estate agent. We can help you with that.

 

Step 2 : Make An Offer To Purchase

The seller and the buyer agree to sign the offer to purchase. The first time buyer applies for a mortgage bond with banks or lenders

.

Step 3: Bond Approval

Once the bank/lender approves the mortgage bond they will then advise the bond attorney to register the bond.

 

Step 4 : Transfer Of Property

The seller instructs the transferring attorney to transfer the property. The cancellation fees (costs) and title deed are requested from the presiding bank which currently holds a bond over the property. Statements of taxes and rates are also required.

 

Step 5 : Bond And Transfer Attorneys Contact Each Other

The bond attorney lets the transferring attorney know about the amount available for guarantees and requests the draft deed of transfer and guarantee requirements.

 

Step 6 : Cancellation Attorney

Once a receipt of a guarantee for the amount owing is obtained, the cancellation attorney is then instructed to cancel the seller's bond.

 

Step 7 : Transferring Attorney

The transferring attorney forwards a copy of the cancellation fees, title deed, deed of transfer and the guarantee requirements to the bond attorney. Transfer documents need to be signed by both the seller and buyer. The buyer then pays the transfer costs and the transferring attorney then pays the taxes and rates as well as the transfer duty.

 

Step 8 : Bond Attorney

The bond attorney then prepares the bond documents. The buyer signs the bond documents and then pays the associated costs. The bond attorney then forwards the necessary guarantees to the transferring attorney and prepares the bond documents for lodging in the deeds office.

 

Step 9 : Transferring Attorney

When the transferring attorney receives the guarantees, they are then forwarded to the cancellation attorney.
