Commission scale 3 bands, cap R 40 000.00
effective 2024-09-20 · verified 2026-07-31 · review by 2027-07-31 · Rule 68 of the High Court Act 59 of 1959, item 5(c)(xiv): the sheriff's commission on the sale of immovable property, payable by the purchaser, is 6 per cent on the first R100 000, 3.5 per cent from R100 001 to R400 000 and 1.5 per cent on the balance, maximum R40 000, minimum R3 000. Regulations Gazette 11724 (No. 51056) of 16 August 2024, effective 20 September 2024. This is the same scale the July 2026 notices recite, now traced to the gazette that sets it rather than to a notice quoting it. Source
Conveyancing bands 3 price bands, from R 25 000.00
Unconfirmed · as at unknown · review by 2026-10-31 · owned by conveyancer · Placeholder tariff estimate by price band. UNVERIFIED - there is no statutory conveyancing tariff to read, so this needs a quote from the conveyancer who would handle the transfer or an LSSA fee guideline. It is the one figure in the register that a published page cannot settle.
Transfer duty bands 6 marginal bands, nil to R 1 210 000.00
effective 2026-04-01 · verified 2026-07-31 · review by 2027-04-01 · SARS transfer duty table for the 2027 tax year, effective 1 April 2026 and unchanged from 1 April 2025. Nil band R1 210 000; the marginal bands above it reproduce the published cumulative amounts exactly - 3 per cent of the R453 800 to the second threshold is the R13 614 SARS prints against it. Source
Vat rate 15.0%
effective 2025-05-01 · verified 2026-07-31 · review by 2027-04-01 · SARS. The standard rate is 15 per cent. The increase to 15.5 per cent announced for 1 May 2025 and the 16 per cent planned for 1 April 2026 were both withdrawn, so the rate is unchanged. Source
Market gross yield 10.9%
Unconfirmed · effective 2025-12-31 · review by 2026-12-31 · Rode's Report, gross apartment yields averaged 10.93 per cent in Q4 2025, read from a secondary summary rather than the report itself. Displayed beside a computed yield and never used in a calculation, so it moves no money - but it is a reference line a reader will compare against, so it is governed like the rest.

Statutory figures are read from the authority that sets them and carry the page they came from, the date they take effect and the date they were last checked. A figure past its review date is marked Stale; one nobody has been able to source is marked Unconfirmed. Either way it appears as a flag on every listing whose figures it moved, rather than sitting quietly on this page. A set is never edited. A change creates a new numbered set, and results already recorded keep the version that produced them.

No locality data held. Market value and rent are what turn a cost into a judgement, so until they are held every listing routes to review on market, and no yield is computed anywhere on the site.
