Fixed-Fee Conveyancing in South Africa
Available anywhere in South Africa. Fill in the form below and let us negotiate a discounted fixed rate for your professional attorney transfer costs - capped at a maximum of R70,000 (excl. VAT), which is significantly lower than standard guideline tariffs for properties over R10 million. We also negotiate reduced fixed fees for properties below R10 million.
Many buyers and sellers believe that legal tariffs for property conveyancing are set in stone. However, the South African Legal Practice Council (LPC) has officially confirmed (PDF) that fixed-fee pricing models are fully compliant with the Legal Practice Act.
100% Regulated & Compliant
The LPC dictates that regardless of the fee structure used, conveyancers must deliver the exact same standard of care, skill, and professional quality. When we negotiate a fixed fee for you, you receive fully regulated legal expertise at a competitive, predictable price. All itemised quotations clearly separate the professional fee from mandatory statutory costs (such as Deeds Office fees and SARS transfer duty).

How Much Can You Save on Luxury Property Transfers?
Standard conveyancing guideline tariffs scale up with the value of the property, even though the legal administration required remains largely the same. Capping the professional fee at R70,000 (excl. VAT) delivers substantial savings on high-value properties:
| Property Value | Approx. Guideline Fee (excl. VAT) | Max Fixed Fee (excl. VAT) | Estimated Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5,000,000 | ~R67,000 | Negotiated Discount | Custom Quote |
| R10,000,000 | ~R105,000 | R70,000 | ~R35,000+ |
| R15,000,000 | ~R134,000 | R70,000 | ~R64,000+ |
| R20,000,000 | ~R163,000 | R70,000 | ~R93,000+ |
Important Tip Before Signing an Offer to Purchase
In South Africa, the seller usually nominates the transferring attorney, while the purchaser pays the conveyancing fees. If you are a buyer, request this fixed-fee quote before signing the Offer to Purchase so you can negotiate the conveyancer nomination clause with the seller. If you are a seller, appointing a fixed-fee conveyancer lowers the buyer's transaction costs and makes your property easier to sell.
