GENERAL PURCHASE QUESTIONS

Finance options

Financed deals

  1. Minimum 10% deposit with the balance in the form of a bond approval
    • Deposit to be paid within 3 days from receiving a signed agreement of sale.
    • The deposit is paid into the transferring attorney’s interest-bearing account and your money will earn interest for you.

Cash deals

  1. 30% non-refundable deposit with the balance payable to the transferring attorneys 60 days before lodgement
  2. Minimum 10% deposit with a bank guarantee for the balance of the purchase price supplied within 21 days of purchase

What happens if my bond is not approved, do I get my deposit back?

Yes, the deal is subject to your bond being approved and should it not be approved the deposit is paid back to you with interest. If you are unsure if you can afford the bond it is a good idea to get pre-qualified prior to the launch as the R10,000 reservation fee is not refundable.

Once my bond is approved, when do I start paying?

Bond repayments will only commence after the development has been completed and once the transfer of the apartment you have purchased, has taken place.

Bond registration costs

Bond costs are payable at the time that the bond registers, once the development is complete.

Transfer duties

There is no transfer duty payable but there are transfer fees (attorney costs).

The seller is registered for VAT so there will be no transfer duty but only transfer costs payable.

What do the levies include?

Levies are determined in terms of sectional title and exclusive use area of the apartments, parking and storeroom levies are calculated at a standard rate to be determined.

They cover the costs of security, cleaning & upkeep of the common areas, maintenance of the building, lift maintenance, common wifi, building insurance and all running costs and management costs and insurance of the building.

Rates

Monthly rates are based on the value of the property and are calculated based on the value of the property and then multiplied by 0.007159 to get your yearly rates. Divide this by 12 to get your monthly rates.

Example:

(R36 million property)

R36,000,000 x 0.007159 = R257,724 per annum

This equates to R21,447 per month

Are there any hidden costs?

No hidden costs. VAT inclusive, no transfer duty. Rates, taxes and CID will apply.

The contract price is the price the client will pay for the property. You must be aware that there is occupational interest due from the date you take occupation until you take ownership (transfer takes place).

The other costs applicable are detailed above and include monthly rates and levies. Bond costs will be payable prior to registration of your bond once you take transfer of your unit. Transfer costs at this point will also be applicable but these costs are largely offset by the interest that you earn on your deposit during the construction period.

When will we be able to move in/ find a tenant?

After the completion of the development, the transfer process will commence. Occupation will be given as soon as an occupation certificate is granted. You will be able to occupy or rent out your apartment upon finalisation of transfer and snags.
