Standard bank(Cornubia) poor service.

I am a home owner selling my property, the purchaser took his home loan with standard bank. The purchaser has had numerous issues with his home loan process and till now he cannot get his home loan sorted, selling of a property generally takes 12 weeks to registered and money paid out to the seller. Unfortunately we are stuck with standard bank. As the seller of the property i am still paying for utilities, security and even a home loan, total of R7500, it is now going onto 5 months now since this process has been started, so essentially i would have stopped paying the amounts mentioned in March 2022, but we are now going into May and i will be paying another month for nothing, while standard bank drags their feet to sort out the home loan for thier customer.

In a nutshell i am a homeowner selling my property but standard bank is delaying the process of finalizing everything, i am baring the burden of paying my current bills as mentioned above whereas i supose to stop paying in march this year if standard bank sorted their clients paperwork out.

My contact details ***.

I really hope future home buyers and investors see this post and really think twice about doing business with standard bank.. As a customer of standard bank i am moving my investments away from you guys.

Just to put you in the picture standard bank, i was supposed to leave the country this Sunday but cannot due to your incompetence. I am waiting for this to be resolved.

Can someone that knows what they are doing in standard bank please resolve this as i am goin to put this on other social media sites and put it in the news papers.

Other banks are hungry for business and would have resolved this in no time not you standard bank..

And please stop responding with apologies and resolve this!!!!

Good day Malan

We are unable to get hold of the buyer.

We contacted the home loan department and the have stated that as per the POPI act, they're an able to disclose the information to third party.

As per our previous communication. You need to speak to the buyer for them to disclose the real reason for the hold up.

Our sincerest apologies for the delay in our response. We understand your frustration and apologies unreservedly for your experience thus far.


Kindest regards,

They will be able to tell you exactly what is the problem and who they have spoken to.. I dont understand what this poppi act got to do with your internal issues.
The lawyers number is ***.Rajbadal and associates.

I dont want to know what your lawyer says to me or any other person for that matter... SORT OUT YOUR ISSUES!! THIS IS A RIDICULOUS RESPONSE FROM YOU. If you sort your issues out i can get on with my life. This is really pathetic of you. One more time if you dont understand me.. I dont care what the lawyer says i dont want to know... All i am asking you to do is call them and resolve the issue.. You have got all the contact details so why dont you call the lawyer or the buyer and resolve this instead of giving this poor feedback.
