• Owners of properties are therefore encouraged to look for their title deed to ascertain whether it is an original or not. If your property is un-bonded, you should be in possession of the original title deed. If your property is bonded, it will be held by the bank as security.
• Should you discover that your title deed is lost or misplaced and you intend selling or bonding your property, you will need to apply for a duplicate original.
• STBB can assist you with this process and it will save a delay down the line when you sell your property since transfer cannot be passed with such original.
