Budgeting for your first home can feel uncertain, but it doesn’t have to be. First time buyers often ask about deposits, transfer costs, and whether they qualify for a first-time home buyers subsidy in South Africa. CHA Property breaks down every cost upfront, explains which expenses apply to your purchase, and helps you prepare for moving and municipal charges. With clear numbers from the start, you can focus on finding the right home while we keep the process financially predictable.
