Why a Fixed Professional Fee?

Most conveyancers charge based on the LSSA guideline tariff, which scales with the purchase price of the property. That means you pay more for the same legal work simply because your property costs more. A R3 million transfer involves the same documents, the same lodgement process, and the same Deeds Office as a R1.5 million transfer — yet the tariff fee nearly doubles.

A fixed fee means certainty. You know your legal costs before you commit to the transaction. There is no ambiguity about what you are paying for, and no scope for the number to change once the process is underway.

No scope creep, no surprise admin fees, no vague disbursement charges. Every cost outside the professional fee — transfer duty, Deeds Office fees, municipal clearances — is a statutory charge that is the same regardless of which attorney you use. We separate those clearly so you can see exactly where your money goes.

Our R20,000 covers all the professional work involved in transferring ownership of standard residential property at the Pretoria Deeds Office. That is the legal drafting, lodgement, liaison with all parties, compliance, and registration — from instruction to title deed.
