The Construction Lien Notice is a crucial document in South African construction law that provides security for payment to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who have contributed work or materials to improve a property. When payment issues arise in construction projects, this document serves as a legal mechanism to protect the rights of service providers and suppliers. The notice must be filed within specific timeframes and must include detailed information about the project, parties involved, work performed, and amounts claimed. The Construction Lien Notice creates an encumbrance on the property title, which can prevent the property from being sold or refinanced without addressing the claimed amount. Under South African law, proper filing and service of this notice is essential for preserving the right to enforce a lien through legal proceedings if payment is not received.
