    Transfer costs estimate for R1.9m house

    How much am I looking at in transfer costs if I buy a freestanding for R1.9m with a R400k deposit? Property24 and other online calculators estimate the total cost at R118k which I believe is a calculation assuming ideal conditions so I obvisouly take that with a grain of salt.

    Anyone know what a "good" interest rate on a home loan would be? Got offered 8.59% (Prime -0.66%) by Nedbank on a 2Mil home loan. Is that any good? Still shopping around though.
