Before you budget
This estimate covers purchaser transfer and new bond-registration costs. It excludes the purchase price, deposit, bank initiation fees, seller costs, clearance amounts, levy adjustments and additional transaction-specific work.
Administrative and related costs require confirmation from Tim du Toit and are currently excluded. The displayed total is therefore a partial estimate, rather than your complete cash requirement.
A guide, not a quotation
This calculator provides an estimate only and does not constitute a formal quotation, legal advice or tax advice. Final costs depend on the particular transaction, applicable taxes, agreed professional fees and disbursements.
The professional fees shown use the LSSA guideline as an estimate. Fees are negotiable. The figures do not represent an agreed fee quotation from Tim du Toit.
