85 Years of growth

Since its establishment, VDT has grown to deliver exceptional service in specialised fields of the law while building a reputation as a people-centric firm.

Through the everchanging nature of the professional environment, VDT has managed to keep their feet firm on the ground to withstand this sometimes-unforeseen change.

VDT was and still is founded on several guiding principles that have provided the pillars of their culture. These principles revolve around trust, integrity, a strong work ethic and client service orientation, resulting in a culture that creates custom-made and effective solutions. Additionally, VDT’s values enable them to extend themselves far beyond just being a law firm.

Through identifying keen-minded and technically proficient people from previously disadvantaged communities, VDT has encouraged them to gain relevant work experience and academic education through career planning, appropriate training courses and education bursary schemes.

As a focus within the firm and for the personal growth of the VDT staff, the firm fosters a cooperative environment with departments and individuals who support each other to provide solutions that are exceptional for their clients. When ready, VDT incorporated their focus on Black Economic Empowerment transformation. Because this is a long-term commitment for the firm, they are constantly working towards increasing diversity in the workplace. This commitment is reflected by their BEE Verification Certificate which establishes them as a level 4 contributor and value adding supplier.

Wat van daardie tweede wooneenheid (“granny flat”)?

Die omskepping van ‘n motorhuis of die bou van ‘n “granny flat” ten einde ‘n tweede wooneenheid daar te stel is alledaags. Ons is almal bewus van huise waar so “granny flat” op die eiendom is wat dikwels uitverhuur word. Die potensiaal om passiewe inkomste te skep is iets wat die koopprys van so eiendom ook positief aanpas.

Using a 72 hour clause in property purchase agreements

Sellers strive to obtain the highest price in the shortest period. In practice, property is often sold subject to a suspensive condition, the most common being that that the sale will be null and void if (for example) a loan is not obtained from a bank within fourteen days.
