The plot transfers first, and the building / contract amount is held back on retention
The retention amount is paid out as work progresses (the amount is determined by the bank based on work done on the project)
As the plot transfers first, the buyer will have a bond instalment on this amount
Interim interest will also be charged once progress draws are made
The client has to service the interim interest to ensure that it does not feed into the contract amount. If this happens, there will be insufficient funds for final payment
The full bond instalment is only due once the project has been completed and the final draw is made
The plot and plan are being sold simultaneously; the two agreements being interdependent of each other, there is one 60 page Offer To Purchase. And as such the financing is being arranged for both of them together as one amount. Our admin and finance team are available to assist you throughout this process.
We have been 100% pre-qualified by four major banks (Nedbank, Std Bank, ABSA & FNB). We also have approval from Nedbank Private Wealth, RMB & Investec.

Any foreign buyer would be required to pay a 30%-50% deposit depending on the structure of the agreement and purchase.
