FAQ
- How do I confirm a commercial property can lawfully be used as advertised?Compare the title deed, zoning, approved building plans, occupancy documentation and municipal records with the actual use. Investigate unauthorised alterations, restrictive conditions, servitudes and any consent-use or rezoning process still outstanding.
- Will I pay VAT or transfer duty on a South African commercial property?A property transfer is generally subject to either VAT or transfer duty, not both, with VAT taking preference where applicable. Confirm the seller’s VAT status and property use with the conveyancer before pricing the acquisition.
- Which municipal amounts should be verified before transfer?Obtain current rates, utilities and service statements, identify arrears and compare billed consumption with meters. Confirm the seller’s responsibility for clearance figures and investigate disputed valuations, unapproved connections or unusually high water and electricity use.
- How should I test the quality of rental income?Read every lease, amendment and deposit record, then reconcile rent rolls to invoices and bank receipts. Check arrears, escalations, break rights, renewals, vacancies, incentives, related-party tenants and upcoming capital obligations.
- What building-compliance risks can affect the purchase price?Inspect fire, electrical, structural, accessibility and occupational-safety records appropriate to the property. Compare approved plans with the building, price necessary remedial work and require disclosure of municipal notices, insurance claims and tenant complaints.
- Which environmental issues should I investigate before buying?Review current and historic uses for fuel storage, workshops, waste, asbestos, contamination or protected areas. Commission specialist testing where risk exists and establish responsibility for remediation, permits and monitoring before the sale becomes unconditional.
