When applying for a house bond, homebuyers and investors typically plan for the repayment of the capital and make allowance for their bonds’ interest. Without the assistance of professional property finance consultants, loan applicants often don’t consider the upfront expenses that are associated with purchasing a home that if overlooked can cause copious undue stress. It’s important that you’re aware of these additional expenses so that you can save up the money or arrange a loan to cover these costs.

While some property bond fees are unique to certain types of home bond providers, transfer duty is universally required and payable to SARS if you are purchasing a home with a value greater than R600 000.
Transfer duties are a percentage of the cost of the home and are determined by the buyer’s legal status Legal entities, such as a company or trust, are required to pay 8% of the value of the property, while private buyers pay transfer duties on a sliding scale based on the value of the property:
Note that if the property is being purchased from a developer, no transfer duty is payable. However, VAT will be payable on the purchase price.
While the conveyancing attorney is appointed by the seller, the buyer is responsible for the costs of the ‘Transfer fee’. This fee is payable to the transferring attorney for transferring the property into your name. As with the above fees, they are determined in an upward sliding scale in direct proportion to the cost of the properties being purchased. The calculated fee is required to be paid before or simultaneously with registration/transfer of the property.
Note that the R600 000 exemption does not apply to ‘transfer fees’, only to transfer duty.
For the service of registering your bond at the Deeds Office, you are likely to be charged bond registration fees or attorney costs. These fees can vary and it is recommended that you consult a property finance consultant from SA Home Loans for information on exactly what bond registration fees you are required to pay when purchasing your home.
Owing to the introduction of the National Credit Act, banks no longer charge their clients valuation fees. Instead, this fee is now incorporated into the bank’s initiation fees.
The National Credit Act now allows banks to charge their customers up to R5 700 initiation fees; however, most homebuyers can expect to pay between R3 500 and R5 700.
Because SA Home Loans is not a bank, our fees are often much lower. Contact one of our property finance consultants to learn what initiation fees you will need to pay.
