Attorneys & Conveyancers Serving Claremont

Claremont is the busiest commercial hub in the Southern Suburbs — anchored by Cavendish Square, a cluster of office towers along the M3 and Main Road corridor, and a dense stock of high-rise sectional title apartment blocks that put it a world apart from the free-standing-house suburbs nearby. Add in its proximity to UCT and the private schools of Newlands and Rondebosch, and Claremont sees a constant churn of young professionals, tenants and investors alongside long-standing homeowners. Nel & Associates doesn't keep a walk-in office in Claremont itself, but the suburb is served directly from our Noordhoek office.

Clients in Claremont get exactly the same personal, direct-to-attorney service as clients at our physical offices — one admitted attorney handles your matter from the first phone call through to signing and registration, by phone, WhatsApp and email, with in-person meetings available at the Noordhoek office whenever that's more convenient.

The firm regularly acts for buyers, sellers, tenants and body corporates across Claremont and its neighbouring areas, including Kenilworth and Newlands, as part of its wider Southern Suburbs practice.

Claremont's property market is dominated by high-rise sectional title — apartment blocks and mixed-use developments stacked above ground-floor retail and offices, alongside a shrinking pocket of older free-standing homes on the suburb's quieter edges. As admitted conveyancers, Nel & Associates manages the full transfer process for buyers and sellers here — drafting and checking the sale agreement, attending to FICA and identity verification, obtaining rates clearance and levy certificates, liaising with the bank on bond registration, and lodging the transfer at the Deeds Office in Cape Town.

Sectional title transfers in a suburb like Claremont carry their own checks beyond a standard residential deal — confirming the body corporate is up to date, obtaining the levy clearance certificate, and reviewing any special levies or scheme rules that could affect a buyer, tenant or investor. The firm also acts on commercial leases and premises transactions for businesses operating out of Claremont's office and retail space.

Whether you are buying an apartment for the first time, selling a unit as an investor, or renting out a flat you own here, your attorney explains each step in plain language and provides a written cost estimate before any matter is opened — see Sectional Title Properties and The Basics of Buying & Selling Property for more detail on the process.

Property transfers are only part of what the firm handles for Claremont clients. Wills, estate planning and deceased estate administration are a regular part of the work, along with drafting antenuptial contracts and other notarial work.

The firm also assists with sectional title and body corporate governance matters for owners and trustees in Claremont's apartment blocks, commercial leases for businesses along Main Road and around Cavendish Square, family law matters, and general civil litigation for clients across Claremont and the wider Southern Suburbs.
