Property Practitioners Bill set to transform industry
Property Practitioners Bill replaces the old Estate Agency Affairs Act and makes provision for an ombudsman.
The Property Practitioners Bill which repeals the 43-year-old Estate Agency Affairs Act has finally been signed into law, and will take effect once published in the Government Gazette.
The Electronic Deeds Registration Systems Bill has also been signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa, and is expected to improve the turnaround time for providing deeds and documents to clients, says Nicolene Schoeman-Louw, an attorney at Schoemanlaw Inc Attorneys.
The bill is set to transform the property industry by, among other things, providing for a regulatory authority and ombudsman, and ensuring the inclusion of historically disadvantaged individuals.
The findings of the ombudsman will be equivalent to a magistrate’s court order. Schoeman-Louw says under the bill the term “property practitioner” will now also include a bond broker, home inspector, facilitator of an agreement or sale or lease – including a homeowners’ association, a seller of timeshare or fractional title, a property manager and a property developer.
