Conveyancing Services

Our Conveyancing Department is at the core of our property law practice. We handle the full range of conveyancing transactions, ensuring that all dealings in immovable property are processed lawfully and efficiently.

Conveyancing is the legal process through which the transfer of ownership of immovable property, as well as the registration of bonds and notarial contracts (such as ante-nuptial contracts), are effected at the Land Administration Authority (LAA) in Lesotho.

Our services include:

• Transfers of immovable property

• Registration of mortgage bonds

• Registration of notarial bonds (used to secure movable property as collateral for debt)

• Drafting and registration of notarial contracts, including ante-nuptial contracts

• Consolidation, subdivision, and creation of servitudes

• Land use and title deed advisory services

• Due diligence, title searches, and clearance certificates

• Applications for leasehold rights under the Land Act

A notarial bond is a vital commercial instrument that enables a creditor to register a security interest over a debtor’s movable property. Our team assists in drafting and registering notarial bonds in accordance with Lesotho’s legal requirements, ensuring enforceability and protection of creditors’ rights.

With our in-depth knowledge of the applicable legislation, we are well-placed to manage property and security registrations from start to finish. We work closely with the Land Administration Authority, financial institutions, and surveyors to ensure timely and accurate processing of all property-related matters.

Whether you are involved in a residential purchase, commercial transaction, or securing debt through a notarial bond, Mayet & Associates is committed to delivering efficient, compliant, and client-focused legal solutions.
