Transfer through

Transfer has been registered at the deeds office!!
The beautiful plot is ours :)

Lots of things happening all of a sudden.

Had the plot mowed again. This time it was only R600 instead of R2000 which Sakkie charged for clearing the plot a while ago. Going to have to spend that every month I fear.

The surveyor Hannes Burger eventually got there and re-surveyed the plot.. Apparently the survey done in 1989 was slightly off and so he's put down new markers. Will go check it out on Sunday.

Here's a copy of the original diagram off which he worked.. It's the 2nd from the top at the left.

And his email

Dear Stuart

The beacons of Erf 586 Greyton has now been relocated/replaced. The two beacons at the back(12mm Round Iron peg) were found and each marked with an additional piece of conduit pipe, painted red at the top.

The two front beacons(looking from the street) have been replaced - the left one(12mm drillhole on top of the wall) has been replaced on diagram data(1989). The one on the right(12mm Round iron peg), marked additional with a white conduit pipe(red at the top), has been replaced on the original diagram data as reconstructed. Records will be submitted shortly to the Surveyor General.  This beacon has been taken Title on as per the original diagrams, whereas the one marked in blue has not been taken Title on. This beacon was incorrectly reconstructed and placed in 1989 - as it does not adhere to the original data on which Title was taken. The 1989 reconstruction(for this part of the street boundaries) was based on a waggon axle fence post, of which there are many in Greyton because of a waggon manufacturing & repair shop. The waggon axle is not the original beacon and(in this case) does not comply with the original data - hence the discrepancy. I have left it there as your neighbour wants you to see it first, but it should be removed to avoid future confusion. Its position is documented in the 1989 survey. 

I have included the original diagram for Erf 586 Greyton which is still the official diagram for this erf - consult the back for past deductions. Beacon certificates are normally provided on request at R400.00/certificate. These have to be framed separately and show dimensions, beacon descriptions and encroachments(where applicable). In practise a substitution diagram could also be framed to be incorporated into the Title Deed, to replace the old diagram, for which the cost will be R1200.00. Once the diagram is approved by the Surveyor General it has to be incorporated into the Title Deed by a conveyancer.

Attached please find the relevant invoice for your further attention.

Kind Regards

Hannes Burger
