Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about buying, selling, and renting property in South Africa
How much deposit do I need to buy a house in South Africa?
You typically need a minimum deposit of 10-20% of the purchase price to buy a house in South Africa, although some banks offer 100% bonds to qualifying buyers. For a R1 million property, this means saving R100,000 to R200,000. First-time buyers may qualify for FLISP subsidies that can help with deposit requirements. The larger your deposit, the better your chances of loan approval and lower interest rates.
What is FLISP and how do I apply?
FLISP (Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme) is a government subsidy for first-time home buyers earning between R3,501 and R22,000 per month. The subsidy ranges from R27,960 to R121,626 depending on your income. To apply, you need an accepted offer to purchase, loan approval or pre-approval, and must complete the application through the National Housing Finance Corporation (NHFC) or participating banks.
What credit score do I need to buy a house in South Africa?
Most South African banks require a minimum credit score of 600-650 for home loan approval, though scores above 700 significantly improve your chances and may secure better interest rates. Banks also consider your debt-to-income ratio, employment stability, and payment history. You can check your credit score free annually at credit bureaus like TransUnion, Experian, or Compuscan.
How much can I afford to spend on a house?
As a general rule, your monthly bond repayment should not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. Banks typically allow total debt repayments (including car finance, credit cards, and personal loans) of up to 40% of your gross income. Use our bond affordability calculator to determine your exact budget based on your income, expenses, and existing debt.
What are the transfer costs on a R1 million house in South Africa?
On a R1 million property, transfer costs typically range from R35,000 to R45,000. This includes: Transfer Duty (R0 on properties under R1.1 million), Conveyancing Attorney Fees (approximately R20,700), Deeds Office Registry Fee (around R1,200), and various disbursements including rates clearance certificates and postage. Use our Transfer Costs Calculator for an exact breakdown based on your property value.
How long does it take to transfer a property in South Africa?
The property transfer process in South Africa typically takes 8-12 weeks from acceptance of the offer to registration at the Deeds Office. The timeline includes: bond approval (1-3 weeks), appointment of conveyancing attorney (1 week), rates clearance (2-4 weeks), and Deeds Office registration (2-4 weeks). Delays can occur due to outstanding rates, bond approval issues, or Deeds Office backlogs.
