We assist clients with property transactions from start to finish and have smooth processes in place that lead to transfers that are legally sound and protect both sellers and buyers. In order to achieve this we attend to the prescribed legal prescriptions every step of the way.

De Waal Esterhuyse Attorneys recently transferred my property to the new owners. I was very impressed with their service. I am an elderly lady who was recently widowed. To sell my house was very emotional and stressful for me. This firm was supportive and professional throughout the process and continuously updated me on progress for which I am so appreciative.
I will gladly recommend them to anyone who needs trustworthy and dependable transferring attorneys.
I recently sold a property and appointed De Waal Esterhuyse Attorneys to do the transfer. I would like I to express my sincere thanks to the firm for the professional way in which they handled the transfer.
Its friendly family oriented business where while having a delicious breakfast you can sort out legal matters.
I recently purchased a property and De Waal Esterhuyse was the transfer Attorneys and the experience in dealing with them was amazing. As a first time buyer that knew nothing of the process and dealings of purchasing property they sure made me feel like I have been around the block a few times. They where friendly, helpful and courteous throughout the process and always got right back to me regarding any questions I had no matter how the amount of queries or questions I had. Would highly recommend them!!!

I recently used De Waal Esterhuyse Attorney's to handle the transfer of my property. At the same time I was dealing with larger firm of attorneys for the purchase of another property. The service I received from De Waal Esterhuyse and in particular Hannes Senekal was extremely professional. I was always kept up to date and all my questions and queries answered, unlike the service I received from the larger firm of attorney's.
Anyone selling property should definitely consider appointing De Waal Esterhuyse Attorney's, you will not be disappointment with the personal and professional service you receive.
