On 23 July 2025, the Law Society of South Africa (LSSA) published its updated Guideline of Fees for conveyancing-related transactions. These new tariffs will apply to all relevant instructions received from 1 August 2025 and reflect an upward fee adjustment for the transfer of immovable property and the registration of mortgage bonds.
