- conveyancing_bands
- commission scale not recited in the notice - configured fallback used
- VAT status is not recited, and notices do not state it: modelled as a transfer-duty sale at R0. Were the execution debtor a registered VAT vendor, VAT on the same bid would be R30000 in its place.
- the lowest bid this sale permits, R200000, is already above the R189385 walk-away price - no bid in the band recovers its own cost against modelled value, so this cannot alert whatever the rent turns out to be
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.
