A Property24 reader explains that during February 2023 the estate agent showed her a property that was advertised. The house was a bit small so the seller suggested that she can have a look at her father’s property-which was not advertised.
"We went there with the agent, and she showed us the house. I signed an offer to purchase in February 2023 for the property that was supposedly part of a deceased estate.
"End of May 2023, while still waiting for the letter of authority from the Master's Office, the conveying attorney informed me that the Estate was already closed by the Master's Office. Also, that the property I wanted to purchase, was not declared. So, I informed the agent that I want to search for another property. I had rented this property for 3 months, and do not want any further delays. The agent agreed," says the reader.
