How this calculation works
Add 15% VAT to the attorney’s ex-VAT fee, then add the entered deeds office, upfront bank and other costs without adding VAT again.
A worked example
R15 000 attorney fee becomes R17 250 including VAT. R2 000 deeds and R1 500 other costs give R20 750 in total.
Assumptions & limitations
- This is a quote-based cost budget. Starting figures are examples, not regulated deeds-office or recommended legal tariffs. Get the exact amounts for your bond from the conveyancer and bank.
- Do not include a financed bank fee here if it is already included in your loan calculation. Property transfer costs and ongoing repayments are separate.
