What else you may pay when buying

This calculator's repayment estimate covers the loan only. Keep these separate costs in mind when comparing it with a bank quote:

  • Your bank may add a monthly service fee and require home insurance.
  • Upfront bank charges can include an initiation or valuation fee.
  • Transfer and bond-registration attorneys charge separately.
  • Transfer duty may apply, depending on the property and purchase price.

Check the current transfer-duty rates on SARS. Ask the bank and transferring attorney for the other final amounts; they are not added to this estimate.
