DRAFTING OF CONTRACTS
DEED OF SALE - MOVABLE AND IMMOVABLE

ownership of goods from a seller to a buyer. These agreements can pertain to movable
goods (such as vehicles, equipment, or stock) or immovable property (such as land or
buildings). The legal framework governing these transactions includes the Common Law,
the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981, and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008
(where applicable).
