- conveyancing_bands
- commission scale not recited in the notice - configured fallback used
- the municipal arrears ceiling is aged to the 2023-opened case: R90000 against the R80000 base, at R30000 a judgment-year capped at R240000 - unconfirmed model parameters, and still a provision, not a quote
- VAT status is not recited, and notices do not state it: modelled as a transfer-duty sale at R18786. Were the execution debtor a registered VAT vendor, VAT on the same bid would be R262500 in its place.
The municipal arrears figure is a provision, not a quote. A non-owner may not obtain the clearance figure from the municipality; the sheriff gives an estimate on the day. Do not bid against the midpoint of this range. Assumptions version 3. Modelled from the census of 3 Aug 2026; nothing here is a valuation of a property nobody has inspected.
