About this app

JVS Attorneys in Tygervalley built this free app so that buyers, sellers and estate agents can work out what a property transaction will cost before anyone signs anything. Enter a purchase price or a bond amount and you get a clear, itemised cost estimate in seconds.

TRANSFER COSTS
Work out transfer duty on the SARS brackets, together with the conveyancing fees and disbursements payable when you buy a property. Every line item is listed separately so you can see exactly what makes up the total.

BOND COSTS
Estimate the bond registration attorney fees and the disbursements that go with registering a new bond over the property.

TOTAL COSTS
See the complete picture in one place: transfer costs and bond costs together, with a single total for the whole transaction.

AFFORDABILITY
Find out how much property you can comfortably afford at current interest rates, based on your income and your monthly commitments.

BOND REPAYMENT
Calculate the monthly repayment on a bond, along with the total interest and the total amount repaid over the full term.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX
Estimate the capital gains tax on the sale of a property, for individuals, companies and trusts.

PROPERTY INVESTMENT (ROI)
Model the return on a property investment, with or without bond financing, so you can compare opportunities before you commit.

AGENT COMMISSION
Work out the estate agent's commission payable on the sale of a property.
