Property Transfer Cost Calculator

Property Transfer Cost Calculator

Estimate transfer duty, conveyancing fees, bond registration and Deeds Office costs on a property purchase.

How it works: Transfer duty is a SARS tax on the purchase price, using a sliding scale. Conveyancing and bond registration fees are estimates based on attorney guideline tariffs, and your attorney’s quote may differ. No transfer duty is payable if the seller is a VAT vendor selling as part of their business.
