Tips for buying a house first time?

Anyone know what this is, "To rates clearance certificate fee" (R150)? I see its on the lawyers latest statement - I asked them - but didn't get a response.
I'm assuming its to make sure the current owners Rates and Taxes are up to date?

In PE that costs only R60.00
It is to get a certificate from the local municipality that the rates account is in the name of the seller and up to date.
Thats what I thought - thanks
Probably the lawyer adding on their 'commission'. They're already trying to get out of the 20% discount they offered me.
I've asked the seller for a letter and copy of their IDs to get the plans for the house from the council - I finally have this information - but no clue how to get the actual plans, anyone here know?
