How this works
- Transfer duty from the SARS rate table. A new home from a developer registered for VAT may include VAT instead.
- Attorney fees follow the Law Society guideline (1 July 2026), plus 15% VAT. Your attorney's quote may differ.
- Deeds office fees, bank initiation fees and a share of rates paid in advance are not included.
- A planning tool, not a quote or financial advice.
