Buying Guide
When you have identified a property of interest, you will want to make an offer to purchase that property.
Bidding and negotiation
Going to contract
Once the offer has been accepted, you will enter the transfer stage. Typically this stage will take 3 months from signature. Your attorney will exercise “due diligence” by asking for certain key documents from you, the seller and the relevant authorities. These typically include:
- Copies of identity documents of all concerned
- Proof of marital status
- Original title deed
- Transfer duty receipt from SARS
- Rates clearance certificate
- Tax clearance certificates from SARS
- Proof of residence
- Bond account details from the seller
- Bond approval from the buyer
- The deposit is usually held in the conveyancing attorney’s trust account until the transfer date. Normally, any interest earned accrues to the purchaser.
Cost for buyers
- Conveyancing fees
- Bond Registration fees
- Post & petties to the conveyance
- Deeds office fees
- Pro rata rates
- Occupational rent if applicable
- Costs of move i.e. furniture
- Curtaining: if curtains were not included in the selling price
- Bond approval from the buyer
- Transfer of telephone, internet services, etc.
NOTE: When purchasing in a new development from a developer, the sale will typically include VAT and if so there will be no transfer duty payable.
