This fee guideline applies to instructions received as from 01 April 2016, and conveyancers must note that Conveyancing fees are negotiable as they are merely guidelines and not minimum fees. The guideline consists of the following documents:
- Conveyancing: Conventional Deeds (Act 47/1937): Guideline of Fees
- Conveyancing: Sectional Titles (Act 95/1986): Guideline of Fees
- Interprovincial Apportionment Guidelines: Sectional Titles
- Interprovincial Apportionment Guidelines: Conventional Deeds
- Apportionment of fees: Wasted Costs
- Conveyancing fees and Apportionment of fees: Alienation of Land Act
The redesigned and updated Conveyancing Tables to reflect these new fees is available here Conveyancing Tables April 2016. Of note is the fact that the recommended fees have now become the same for both a mortgage bond registration and a transfer. As a result on average the transfer fees have increased by roughly 10% while bond registration fees have increased by roughly 20%.

Reader Comments:
Once again I note (as per the previous tariff increase) that the fee for a Section 45(1) endorsement is 50% of tariff, for the same amount of work involved as that of a transfer to a beneficiary (whether it be a spouse or other) - the only difference being there is no new deed. Is a Title Deed worth 50% of the tariff??
