LEGAL INSIGHT ⚖️
Many South Africans don’t realise that unpaid municipal accounts can delay or completely block a property transfer.
Before any property can be transferred, a Rates Clearance Certificate must be issued by the municipality — and outstanding rates, taxes, water, electricity, or billing disputes can cause major delays in the transfer process.
With municipal billing disputes and property-related issues on the rise across South Africa, obtaining proper legal guidance early can save property owners time, stress, and unnecessary costs.
