Private property sales in Pretoria — what you need to know
Selling or buying a property privately in Pretoria — without an estate agent — has become increasingly common as sellers look to save on commission and buyers seek direct relationships with owners. Whether you want to sell your house without an agent or you are a first-time home buyer navigating transfer costs, a private sale requires careful attention to the legal requirements: a properly drafted Offer to Purchase, FICA compliance, and a qualified Pretoria conveyancer to handle the transfer.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of immovable property from one person to another. In South Africa, only admitted conveyancers (attorneys who have passed additional conveyancing board examinations) may lodge transfer documents at the Deeds Office. The process involves obtaining rates and levy clearance certificates, paying transfer duty to SARS, and ultimately registering the new ownership in your name at the relevant Deeds Office — in Pretoria, that is the Pretoria Deeds Office in the Berea Building.
The Pretoria Transfer Guide was built to demystify the property transfer process for buyers and sellers who want to understand what they are paying for and why. All tools on this site are attorney-drafted and updated for the 2025/2026 financial year.
