Private Sale
Attorney-Assisted Private Property Sales
Structured private sale support for KZN Midlands property sellers. Document guidance, readiness reviews and optional attorney assistance.
What is a private sale?
A private sale is when a property owner sells directly to a buyer without using a traditional estate agent. This is legal in South Africa, but requires careful attention to documentation, disclosure and compliance.
When private selling makes sense
- You already have an interested buyer
- Your property is in a high-demand area
- You want more control over the process
- You are willing to handle viewings yourself
When an estate agent may be better
- You need broad market exposure
- You are unfamiliar with pricing and negotiation
- Your property is unique or hard to value
- You do not have time to manage the sale process
Important risks to understand
- Existing estate agent mandate restrictions
- Inadequate buyer screening
- Poorly drafted offers and contracts
- Failure to disclose known defects
- Missing compliance certificates

Private Sale Readiness
Before selling privately, consider: Do you have a realistic asking price? Are property photos and plans available? Are rates up to date? Do you have compliance certificates? Are you free from an existing agent mandate?
