Do you know how long I must wait for the seller to get the document signed, what happens if he is in hospital or overseas or dead? What are my rights as a buyer?

I'm 2 months down the line in this process and from what I can see (with technology at the level it is today) the whole process should not take more than 2 days (thats excluding waiting preiods and I think I'm being generous). The part that concerns me the most is the exorbitant cost of this process, on an average 3 bedroom house it works out at about R6000.00/hour. And using the excuse that South Africa has this wonderfully secure system with "legal ownership guarantees" is a poor excuse for the pathetic service levels, incompetance and unethical overbilling that is rife in this industry. If Mr Zuma decides he wants to give your piece of land to his brother (the one with the machine gun), no piece of paper going to stop it from happening.
