FAQ's
What Is the Difference Between Transfer Duty and Transfer Costs?
Transfer duty is a tax paid to SARS based on the property’s purchase price, while transfer costs cover legal fees and Deeds Office charges for registering ownership.
What Should a Lease Agreement Include?
A poorly drafted lease agreement can lead to costly disputes down the road. For tenants and landlords, the lease should clearly state the rental amount, lease duration, payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, deposit conditions, and exit clauses. Unclear or missing terms could leave you vulnerable to financial loss or legal action. Need a lease reviewed or drafted?
What are the Risks of Buying a Home?
Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but hidden risks can turn your dream purchase into a costly nightmare. Some buyers only discover unpaid municipal fees or outdated building plans after signing the contract. Before you commit, a thorough legal review can save you from financial loss.
Can Buying a Home Improve Your Credit Score?
Owning property can be a powerful tool for building a strong credit history. Making consistent bond repayments demonstrates financial responsibility, which can improve your credit score over time. However, missing payments can have the opposite effect. Before you buy, it’s essential to understand how your home loan will impact your credit and what legal protections you need in place.
