On Friday, the Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development published the anticipated annual amendment to the Schedule of Fees of Office<\/u><\/a>, as prescribed by the Regulations to the Deeds Registries Act.<\/p>\n

The amendments, which apply nationally and are scheduled to come into effect on 1st<\/sup>\u00a0April\u00a02025, include an across-the-board increase in the costs to register a transfer and bond. Additionally, the Minister has introduced a new fee: a lodgement fee of R50.00 per deed\/document, excluding RDP housing-related lodgements.<\/p>\n

The fee for issuing a VA copy to replace a lost, destroyed, or misplaced title deed is now R624.00 per copy, the cancellation of a mortgage or notarial bond and a section 4(1)(b) application will each set you back R169.00, and requests for copies of title deeds will now cost R103.00 per copy.<\/p>\n
