With Human Rights Day on Friday, 21 March, it’s a good time to reflect on one of life’s biggest milestones—the right to homeownership.
A home is more than just a place to live; it’s a space to build memories, find security, and create a future. And with the latest transfer duty changes, owning property has just become a little easier for many buyers.
What’s New with Transfer Duty in 2025?
If you’re thinking about buying a home, here’s what the latest transfer duty updates mean for you:
✔ No transfer duty on properties under R1.210 million—great news for first-time buyers!
✔ Lower rates for properties between R1.210 million and R1.375 million.
✔ Progressive rates apply to properties above R1.375 million.
For buyers these savings could help you put more towards your dream home.
