MLV ATTORNEYS NOT INTEREST ON WITHDRAWAL 30 SEPT 2016 DEAD OF SALE
We own the property that is situated at Greenfields in Lwandle, Erf31525. We relocated to Kuilsriver in 2013 April. We rented out that property, begining on September 2016 Mr. Ishmail Smith approach us wanted to buy the Property we agreed. Mr. Ishmail Smith told us upfront that his employer (Keoni Properties PTY LTD) will purchase the property on his behalf. On the 30 September 2016 we made an arrangement for signing the Dead of Sale, we agreed on the price of the property then in 2016 was R150 000. In our meeting Mr. Malan the Lawyer confirm that the duration for property transfer it normally takes 3 - 6 months, my question I ask him if the transaction did not happen in the motioned duration we will be able to cancel the sales or pullout from the deal. Mr Malan's verbal response was YES you will you are welcome to cancel the deal it is on the dead of sale, not knowing that Mr. Malan twisted the SUSPENSIVE CONDITIONS clause to be in favour of his client KEONI PROPERTIES. After we signed the dead of sale, Carlos Anselmo from Keoni Property ask Mr. Malan in Afrikaans "het jy daardie bepaling van skorsing verander, soos ek jou vra?" we did know that Carlos was referring to this dead of sale. On the 12 March 2017 we received an email from Carlos requesting electricity, beetle and plumbing certificates, we submitted that. On the 13 March 2017 we responded and follow-up how far the process, Mr. Malan the Lawyer responded same day at 4h12pm his respond I quote: "As I explained before, we at MLV cannot do anything further, without City of Cape town, we regularly follow-up on City of Cape town attorneys. On the 27 February 2018 at 9h20am received an email, conversation between Riana Geldenhuis and Christine Louw Duplessis was in afrikaans, we seek that clarity Riana was not interested to tell us what the email was all about. on the 11 December 2018 we send an email to MLV, Carlos notifying them that we want to withdraw from the deal, it seems was we were promised will not be fulfilled. It is when we learnt that we will not be able to pullout from the deal, we took the dead of sale to our friend who are the lawyers they show us and interpreted Suspensive Conditions it reads as follow: THIS TRANSACTION IS SUBJECTED TO THE PROPERTY BEING TRANSFERRED FROM CITY OF CAPE TOWN TO THE SELLER OR HIS PREDECESSOR WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER SIGNATURE HEREOF, OF SUCH EXTENSION AS THE PURCHASER MIGHT GIVE IN IT'S SOLE DISCRETION, BY FAILURE WHEREOF THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED AND BE NULL AND VOID." On the 29 March 2020 at 10:09am we received an email from Elize Olivier MLV with new dead of sale reason they were trying to get shortcut, we review and change the wording of Suspensive Condition, unfortunately they did not agreed on the changes. Reason for this review we wish to get solution on this matter, only thing we want it is to pullout from this dead of sale. Secondly it is clear that MLV Attorneys are only having the interest of Whites never the less it is their freedom.

Unprofessional
<p>My husband and I are in the process of buying a house. First Time home owners, after living with my parents for our entire marriage; how exciting, right?</p> <p>The bank couldnt help us with the additional attorney costs and only gave us 70%. After receiving the quote from the MLV Attorneys (7th November), I asked the Estate Secretary Ruth Viljoen if they could assist us with some sort of discount on the quote? (Quote given from her co-worker was R14 661)Explained our situation, etc.</p> <p>Her response was that if they did the Bank and Transfer for our bond they would be able to assist on discount, I insisted as we didnt have a choice; Standard Bank assigned their own attorneys, if we had a choice, we would've chosen them, but we had no choice. We scheduled an appoint on the 15th November (on my birthday) we took off from work and hopefully went to go see their Director Mr Daniel Malan, waited a hour as he was late for our appointment.</p> <p>In the brief meeting (3 minutes long) he said (without even looking at the quotation or file) they wont be able to assist, can't make other peoples problems theirs. We understood and went home.</p> <p>Today (18 November) the Estate Secretary Ruth Viljoen called me to explain that the quotation was incorrect, and there is an additional cost. The quote amount changed from R14661 to R19117 I was shocked and wanted an explaination. Before I could get into the discussion the secretary jumped down my throat not giving my a chance to speak.</p> <p> </p> <p><br />I am so disgusted. Be warned; dont use Malan Lourens and Viljoen Attorneys in Strand, ever!</p>

REACT Customer Resarch lawyer involved in MD's marriage affairs
<p>I find it disconcerting that MLV attorneys are the business law firm of REACT Customer Research SA, however my husband, Grant Lindhorst Pewsey used them in his private capacity to draw up our marriage contract. When we went to sign the contract in March 2014, I noticed that the contract had not been drawn up as my husband had explained it would be to me and I was not protected very well in case of a divorce. Monica Vessio indicated to Grant that this was to keep him protected but she was told by Grant to change it and we had to go for a 2 hour lunch while we waited for the contract to be amended. In retrospect I believe that Grant may have told me one thing and instructed Monica to do another. As it now seems my husband, Grant has had a relationship with a third party (as he did in his previous marriage, which ended that - btw he has been divorced 2x so far and married 3x) I asked MLV to send me a copy of our marriage contract. This arrived with an email from Monica Vessio implying that Grant and I had split and to encourage me to divorce him in a cost effective way! I find that presumptuous and unethical. If she drew up the contract in the first place, should she not be trying to protect our marriage vows rather than suggesting I divorce my husband. Also, should my husband again be using the REACT business law firm to try break up our marriage. I have hand written notes by my husband where it shows he has plotted and planned a list of events to sabotage me. Is it ethical for MLV to even review assisting such an underhand plot against me? For the record Monica Vessio tried to use me as an architect in her private capacity as well so the parameters between REACT, it's MD and his spouse, myself, have somewhat been crossed in an unprofessional manner. Is this is a case of "Alienation of Affection" from Monica Vessio's toward me?</p>
