The certificate advises the property owner and the municipality on the existence of conditions relating to the property which may restrict or prohibit the envisaged development or use change. The municipality will in turn confirm whether the application submitted contravenes any title deed restrictions and if so, whether it is necessary for those title conditions to be removed or relaxed if permitted. Inaccuracies in the Conveyancer\u2019s Certificate can lead to extensive delays in the municipal approval process or to hefty fines for land use contraventions.
