Attorney Fees

I recently cancelled my mortgage bond which i had with Standard Bank and want to change the deed at the Cape Town Deeds Office. The attorneys Nordien Law was chosen by Standard to cancel the mortgage and corresponded with the Cape Town Deeds office . They charged me R6 861 to do this.

My partner is also cancelling her mortgage and changing the name at the deeds office. Her mortgage was through ABSA Bank. Their attorneys are only charging R1 000.

Why is there such a big difference. Just shows you how people in SA are ********** by the banks and attorneys, disgusting.
