Costs
2.1How are conveyancing fees calculated?
Most conveyancers use the Law Society of South Africa's guideline tariff, which is based on the purchase price or bond amount. VAT and disbursements are added. Our calculator shows an estimate, and we provide a written quote on request.
2.2When is transfer duty payable?
Transfer duty is paid to SARS before the transfer is lodged at the Deeds Office. Properties up to R1 210 000 are exempt. If the seller is a VAT vendor, VAT is included in the price instead.
2.3Do I pay anything upfront for other legal matters?
It depends on the matter. We'll explain the expected fees and any deposit at the first consultation, before any work starts.
