The Consumer Protection Act , aka CPA has heralded another era of change in South African Property. Some confusion has been created by this rather complex new act , and many are trying to unbundle its effect on day to day operations in the property players coutrywide in SA.
Some interpretations seem to think that only property sold in " the ordinary course of business" or property that is income generating is covered in the act.
Others believe it effects all property deals and there are even those that choose to ignore it entirely. Other pundents belive that the act is yet to be tested in a court of law.
Well are you going to be the agency or agent that will go down in the case studies in law reference guides? Even a regular residential sale could see you sued for costs exceeding R300 000 minumum if the deal is overturned under the CPA.
Why not pay careful attention to disclosure as required by the act and gain the following professional edge:
Less risk of deal failure
Easier negotiations and less objections through clear disclosure
Long term client relations drastically improved through repeat sales , buyer later becomes your seller
Overall professional edge in the market
