About Pretoria Transfer Guide

After years of seeing buyers and sellers arrive at their first attorney consultation with fundamental misconceptions about the process — what it costs, how long it takes, and what documents they needed — we knew there had to be a better way. Most people had never read an Offer to Purchase before being asked to sign one, and many had no idea that transfer duty existed until they received their statement of account.

The Pretoria Transfer Guide was built to fix that. We believe that an informed buyer or seller is a protected one. When you understand the process before you commit, transactions go more smoothly, disputes are rarer, and costly mistakes — like signing an OTP without a proper suspensive condition — are avoided. Every guide, calculator, and tool on this website is designed to give you exactly that foundation.

MJ Kotze Inc offers a fixed fee conveyancing service for standard residential transfers at the Pretoria Deeds Office. Our admitted conveyancers specialise in residential transfers. Our local expertise — understanding which SARS branch is fastest, how the Pretoria Deeds Office operates, and which sectional title schemes have known issues in specific suburbs — informs every resource on this site and ensures a smooth transfer when you are ready to proceed.
