To move in: the R210 000 option fee and the R21 000 deposit, plus the application fee.

When you buy: your balance and instalment

These are the same numbers our calculator gives for a R2 100 000 home on a 5-year lease. They assume you buy with our seller finance at the end of the lease.

Your R210 000 option fee is 10% of the price, which fixes your rate at 13%. Put down more than 10% in total and the rate drops to 12%, our lowest. For this home that takes just R5 000 extra.

Remember: the extra deposit is only due when you take up our finance, after your 5-year lease. You don't pay it when you move in.

Prefer a bank or cash? Buy at any time in the 5 years, and the R210 000 still comes off the price.

Questions about this home

Can I rent this home without buying it?

No. It's offered only as a Lease to Buy SA home: you lease it with the sole right to buy it at R2 100 000 at any time in the 5 years.

What do I pay to move in?

The lease option fee of R210 000 and a refundable deposit of R21 000, plus the once-off application fee of R1 495. The option fee comes off the price when you buy, as long as your lease isn't in breach.

How much does the rent go up?

It starts at R21 000 a month and rises 7% each year of the lease, so it's R27 527 a month in year 5. Like an owner, you also pay the rates and look after the maintenance.

How do I get the lowest seller-finance rate?

Put down more than 10% in total. Your R210 000 option fee already counts as 10%, so adding R5 000 to your deposit when you buy fixes your rate at 12% instead of 13%. That extra deposit is only due after your 5-year lease, when you take up our finance. Nothing extra is due when you move in.

Can I sell the home later?

Yes, at any time: during the lease or while you're paying off our finance. You keep 100% of the equity, and there are no penalties.

Why is the price above the home's market value?

The home's market value is about R1.75m. As with every Lease to Buy SA home, the price is set 20% above that and fixed for the full 5 years. That pays for a price that can't rise, the sole right to buy, and a seller who will finance you if a bank won't.
