If you are purchasing a property then having the title document registered will not be sufficient. The registration office is not responsible for verifying the title, ownership or possession of a property. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that the property document has been drafted appropriately and the seller's ownership of the property has been verified. This can be done with the help of an advocate who specialises in such matters by engaging one to draft and/or vet your property documents and further to conduct title searches.
