About MJ Kotze Inc

After more than a decade of practising conveyancing in Pretoria, one pattern became impossible to ignore: clients arrived at their first meeting with fundamental misconceptions about the process — what it costs, how long it takes, and what documents they needed to sign. Most had never read an Offer to Purchase before being asked to sign one, and many had no idea that transfer duty was even a thing until they received their statement of account.

The Pretoria Transfer Guide was created by MJ Kotze Inc to fix that. We believe that an informed client is a protected client. When buyers and sellers understand the process before they commit, transactions go more smoothly, disputes are rarer, and costly mistakes — like signing an OTP without a proper suspensive condition — are avoided. Every guide, calculator, and tool on this website is designed to give you exactly that foundation.

Our practice is Pretoria-focused by design. Conveyancing law is national, but local knowledge matters: understanding which SARS branch is fastest, how the Pretoria Deeds Office operates, and which sectional title schemes have known issues in specific suburbs can make the difference between a smooth transfer and a six-month delay. That local expertise is what we bring to every transaction — and what informs every resource on this site.
