Home Loan Info

In South Africa, a home loan is commonly called a "bond". The bank registers a bond over your property as security for the loan.

Most banks will grant up to 100% of the purchase price, but a deposit of at least 10% will help you get a better interest rate and avoid paying bond insurance.

Transfer duty is a separate cost payable to SARS when you buy property above R1,100,000. Use our transfer duty calculator for exact figures.
