The legal power of a Body Corporate: Can they really sell your property?

In this episode of Fitzanne’s Property Exchange, host Pearl Scheltema speaks with Dilen Heerschop, Director at DTB Attorneys, to discuss a recent court ruling that’s causing a stir in the property industry. The judgement confirms that a Body Corporate can proceed with the sale of a property over unpaid levies exceeding R50,000—a decision with far-reaching implications for both owners and managing agents.

What rights do property owners have in these situations? And how can a Body Corporate balance their financial responsibilities with fairness and compassion?

Dilen, a specialist in community scheme law and estate planning, shares valuable insights into the legal framework, what this ruling means in practice, and how owners can avoid getting caught in levy-related disputes. He also highlights practical steps for staying compliant, resolving conflicts early, and planning ahead to protect your property investment.
