Estate Agency Affairs Board’s Legal Manager, Deli Nkambule gives advise on the folllowing complaints: 
* complaint by Xolani- who wanted to buy a property at Harmonica Sands in Centurion and was asked by the estate agent to pay a deposit of two thousand rand

* A lady says around 2014 she had defaulted on her home loan repayments and she then made payment arrangements with Blue Stone. However, following this someone from Katsura Investment Solutions came to view her house as it was put up for auction. Another incident involved Karel Du Plessis Attorneys- she got a call from Guida informing her to vacate the house as it was put up for sale.

* I purchased a house from a certain estate agent in Soweto last year February, I paid cash for the house to the lawyers nominated by the estate agent. Upon waiting for transfer I went to the house and found the tenant who then informed me that there are two people fighting for the house. I then investigated and found that there is some dispute over the house and then informed the lawyers and the estate agent that I am pulling out of the deal and want my money back.
