Buying a house in South Africa? Costs explained in under 5 minutes

Buying Real Estate
This video explains some of the costs associated of buying a house in South Africa. The example used is a R2200 000 house. In this example the bank requires a R200 000 deposit, thus a R2000 000 loan is taken out over a 20 year period with a 9.75% interest rate. I go through the Bond and Transfer costs and at the end I provide a summary of what the total cost of purchase and monthly expense will be to you.
