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.
