How Sold Direct earns

  • Bond origination share from the bank (via BetterBond) — paid by the bank
  • 1% facilitation fee on non-qualifying deals (cash / sub-80% bond / non-partner)
  • Conveyancer panel advertising (fixed subscriptions — no referral fees, per LPC rules)
  • Optional add-ons: photography, compliance coordination, insurance

The banks pay us, not the consumer. No bond in the deal? A disclosed 1% — 6× less than full service (6% + VAT).

Compliance built in

  • POPIA consent captured before any data — encrypted sensitive fields
  • Registered property practitioners (PPRA, Fidelity Fund Certificate) assist both parties throughout — registration is a precondition to taking any mandate
  • FICA on both parties via the conveyancer
  • Compliance certificates: electrical, plumbing, gas, fence, beetle
