!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 R120000 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.

Market value is derived from 10 nearby sales, sold 2025 to 2026, at the median of rate per square metre. It is evidence about the area, not a valuation of this property, which nobody has inspected.

Provenance

Oldest bond registered 2006
An old bond is mostly amortised: the creditor's exposure - and its floor - is lower than the amount suggests.
