Fly by night, they will skin you alive while acting innocent

I brought a property for My family during lockdown, I went to view the house and saw some defects that will have to fix as soon I got the home loan from the bank. Application was done and process was good and eventually I got the property. The property was registered in my name on 01 July 2020 and I received a call from my agent telling me, the sellers agent want to hand over the property keys, i was excited and I drove to the property. On my arrival I found the sellers agent and my agent came to witness the handover of keys. While we entered the property the sellers Agent by the name of marce wanted to hand over the keys and leave immediately. I asked him not to leave before we check the property, we walked around the yard, the yard was dirty and I was surprised because when I viewed the house the grass was done neat but now is dirty and went inside the house, I found out that the in suit bath Taps have water linkage and I told him the time I viewed the property there was not linkage. So I identified this I didn’t like and I asked him why are you handing me keys when the property is like this. The sellers agent Marce was like the people who stayed here they are elderly people and can’t afford to do few things I was complaining about. My agent and I told Marce to keep 15k in the account if they can be issues will be able to fix them.

He said he was In the hurry and we agreed I will clean and invoice him. He left and o continued to check the property and discovered that the main water stopper is not working and tired to close the water completely.

I called marce about the findings and he seemed not interested in fixing this things and I called Botha Copo Attorneys to complain about this. The answer I got was that is just seals nothing major. On 28 July 2020 I decided to go with my plumber to check water system is okay before I move in. I brought lot of water material to fix the issues. As we were testing the water pressure and we discover that geyser blast not working and I called Marce and asked him why he say the geyser is working and it’s not an I called Botha Copo Attorneys notify them about the matter. The answer I got for the lady was they have paid the seller the whole money and there is noting they can do. I was surprised because is still July and we asked the Botha Copo Attorneys to hold 15k from the sellers money before they give him. They said I must make quotation witch I did and the next thing they say the is nothing they can do because I brought the property four stout. Am deep disappointed ☹️ how they are taking advantage of me. I need help to report this people if there is any information how to Perdue this matter please give me details were to go. I won’t recommend any person to use their services

 Dear Sir, 
 The transferring attorneys are mandated by the seller. The voetstoots clause (as is) is applicable in this matter. We cannot unilaterally act on the instructions of buyers to retain sellers monies without  a court order. Please contact our offices for more detailed explanation.

Yes it’s a voetstoot, the time I view the house it was working and the time I was handed the house was no longer working. You took advantage of me with the seller, sellers agent including you

You where quick to transfer the money into sellers account within two weeks of handover the property and my agent told you hold 15k for problems like this arise but decided to ignore it. It will take a process but justice will be served.

You can take legal action against me I don’t have a problem and reply with the same mail in the social media. You failed to resolve this matter, I called and came trying to solve this matter. NB geyser form part of fixtures and fittings an should be in good working conditions and it was included in the offer to purchase. So you handed me the property with a Geyser not working. Continue not resolving this matter I will approach litigation attorneys
