These calculations do not cater for VAT vendors and do not include bond registration costs. The transfer duty estimates are based on the SARS transfer duty rates applicable from 1 April 2025 on non-VATable property purchases. The conveyancing fees are as per the Law Society of South Africa guidelines for fees for conveyancing of conventional deeds, effective from 1 August 2025. The Deeds Office fees are based on those published in the Government Gazette to be applicable from 28 Feb 2025 to 28 Feb 2026, for the registration of a transfer (ie no bond fees are allowed for); to which VAT at 15.0% is allowed for (the decision to increase VAT to 15.5% on 1 May 2025 was reversed). Please note that all values generated by the Property Transfer Cost Calculator are estimates and may change. We encourage you to discuss these figures with your conveyancing attorney. All estimated calculations are for general information purposes (which we do not warrant the correctness of) alone and are not professional advice.
