2025 Property Savings: The South Coast’s Perfect Investment Opportunity
Take advantage of increased transfer duty thresholds and secure your future on the booming South Coast, KZN.
2025 is already shaping up to be a game-changing year for South Africa’s property market — and if you’re a buyer, landlord, or investor, there’s real financial relief and opportunity waiting for you.
Whether you're eyeing a family home by the sea, looking to invest in rental units, or planning to grow your property portfolio, here's why you need to be paying attention.
Budget 2025: Transfer Duty Changes That Could Save You Thousands
The National Treasury has officially adjusted the transfer duty thresholds by 10%, a long-awaited move that finally matches inflation and makes homeownership more affordable for all South Africans.
Here’s the breakdown: Properties valued at R1.32 million or less are now 100% exempt from transfer duty. That means you could save up to R15,000 or more when buying your first home or investment property.
Higher brackets have also been adjusted, offering savings across the board.
Why This Is a Big Deal – Especially on the South Coast
The South Coast of KZN, including hotspots like Margate, Uvongo, Ramsgate, and Shelly Beach, already offers some of the best value real estate in the country. Combine that with lower taxes and increasing demand, and you’ve got a recipe for smart, long-term growth.
For First-Time Buyers:
Get your foot in the door of the market without crippling upfront costs.
Enjoy beachside living at a fraction of what you’d pay in urban centres.
For Landlords & Investors:
- Reduced buying costs = better cash flow and quicker returns.
- High demand from retirees, semigration clients, and holidaymakers ensures consistent rental income.
- Short-term letting (Airbnb-style) is booming on the coast.
South Coast is on the Rise – Here’s Why
New infrastructure projects are enhancing road access, utilities, and public spaces. Tourism is rebounding, boosting both short- and long-term rental demand. Semigration trends continue to bring buyers from Gauteng and other urban areas. Property prices are still affordable compared to coastal cities like Cape Town and Durban, but they’re rising – so now’s the time to buy in.
What Should You Do Next?
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to invest, it’s here. But these windows don’t stay open forever.
