A bond originator is a financial intermediary that assists homebuyers in securing the best mortgage bond for their property purchase. They work with multiple banks and lenders, offering access to a range of loan options and negotiating favourable terms on behalf of the homebuyer.
Bond originators save you time and effort by doing the legwork for you. They have relationships with multiple lenders, allowing them to compare rates, terms, and options from various financial institutions. This ensures you get the best possible deal tailored to your specific needs, all while avoiding the hassle of approaching each bank individually.
Bond originators provide their services free of charge to the homebuyer. They earn a commission from the lender once the bond is approved and registered. This means there are typically no additional costs for you to use a bond originator's services.
No, using a bond originator will not impact your credit score. They act as intermediaries and submit your application to the lenders on your behalf. The lenders will perform credit checks as part of their assessment, but this is a standard procedure regardless of whether you use a bond originator or approach the bank directly.
Yes, many bond originators offer additional services such as insurance guidance, property valuations, and legal assistance. They strive to provide comprehensive support throughout the homebuying process, ensuring you have access to the necessary resources and expertise to make informed decisions.
The timeline for bond approval can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the application and the responsiveness of the lender. However, with the assistance of a bond originator, the process is typically expedited, and approvals can often be obtained within a shorter timeframe compared to going through the process independently.

The Deeds Office is part of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development. It handles the checking, recording, and registration of property transactions. There are 11 Deeds Offices across South Africa, including locations in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and others.
Here’s how it works:
Submission: After a conveyancing attorney completes the required documents (deeds), they submit them at the Deeds Office. The office scans the deeds using a barcode system so the attorney can track the transaction.
Review Process:
Lodgement: The initial step where deeds are received and tracked.
Linking: If a transaction involves both transferring a property and registering a mortgage, these are grouped together for review.
Data Check: The Data Section verifies all details and checks for any legal issues related to the property or the parties involved.
Examination Levels:
Level 1: Junior examiners perform preliminary checks.
Level 2: Senior examiners review the deeds further and decide if they should be approved or rejected.
Level 3: An assistant Registrar of Deeds makes the final decision on whether to approve or reject the deeds.
Rejection and Re-lodgement: If the deeds are rejected, the attorney collects them, addresses any issues, and submits them again.
Preparation for Registration: If approved, the deeds move to the preparation stage. The attorney arranges final details, including bank approvals if needed.
Registration: The attorney has 5 working days to complete the registration. All linked attorneys must approve before registration can proceed. The Data Section does a final check before the deeds are officially registered in the presence of the Registrar of Deeds.
In summary, the Deeds Office ensures that property transactions are accurately processed and recorded through a detailed examination and approval process.
