Beware of Cape Coastal Homes

It is often the case that the level of service depends on the person you deal with. Agents at Cape Coastal Homes are independent and unregulated which means there's no oversight and the company takes no responsibility for what agents do. If they do a good job there's no problem but if you end up with rogue, unprofessional, greedy, irresponsible people like Jean and Norman van der Heyde your life can turn into an unending nightmare from which there's no escape. Selling a home on behalf of poor people they took the maximum commission allowed and neglected to follow up that tenants vacate on the specified date. Transfer was lodged and again they did not inform the lawyer that the property was not vacant. On the last day the buyer checked and discovered the tenants were still on the premises and transfer was cancelled. As a result legal action was taken for eviction and transfer only took place four months later - costing parties involved thousands of rands and endless problems. It seems South Africa has become a safe place for the wicked to carry on their evil deeds unnoticed and unhindered and it's up to the individual to protect him/herself as far as possible. Be careful when dealing with Cape Coastal Homes.
