Hi,
Thanks for your response:
a, I believe so, although am not sure I 100% understand the question. There are a number of apartments on the site which were built just after 2000 Also the purchase come with a share for the plot. Obviously that specific share is divided by the number pf apartments. I do not have mine as yet as I need the deeds to complete.
b, Yes It has been paid for in full as has the stamp duty. Basically the Lands Office has everything required and has done since May.
c, In fact the lease has nearly 980 or so years left. Peppercorn rent I believe. I do understand the changes to the new constitution re 100 year leases.
I am told by the Advocate that there are many registrations not going through for some reason which is not really clear. As a GOV institution surely they have an obligation to the law?

Andrew,
If you still have a copy of the document you did a search on, what does it say?
Is it a Title deed? Grant? Certificate of Lease? Allotment letter etc?
From your description (shares allocated per apartment for common areas) Sounds to me like you are to receive title under the SPA.
However if they sold it to you under Registered Titles Act (RTA) wherein they just assign apartment unit numbers as sub leases under the master lease of the original title, then that is a different animal altogether.
Not sure what the delay is all about but as I said, delays here are not unusual so looks like you have no cause to worry if all documents have been lodged with the relevant authorities. The Law here as you know by now moves veery veery slowly.
