Understanding home buying costs in South Africa

According to Ooba Home Loans, purchasing a home involves several expenses beyond the property price itself. The biggest unavoidable costs include bond registration fees paid to the attorney who registers the bond, transfer costs for the conveyancing attorney who handles the property transfer, and transfer duty tax on properties worth over R1.1 million.

Additional expenses that new homeowners should expect include moving costs ranging from R5,000 to R15,000 within the same city, utility connections requiring around R1,000 to R3,000 for electricity, water and telephone setup, and monthly rates and levies that vary based on property value and location. Security measures and home insurance are also essential considerations that add to the overall investment.
