Her*anus prices have caught up with the city so have had a nice increase since 2018. My offer is a bit less than asking. Only half will be a bond, so relatively cheap for me.

I bought a 3 bedroom Victorian place with sizeable back & front garden and a granny flat (granted, the wrong end of Observatory) 9 years ago for just 1.8 million. It is such a lovely house. It also has an avocado tree in the back... bonus every so often.
Probably on the 5 million mark now, especially post renovation.

When I sold my Edgemead house in 2014 the plan was to move to Obs but it turned out it became really expensive and that SR side was really expensive. Nice houses there.

Privateproperty.co.za works well in the city but not here. Also this agent is a trooper, sold in a week.

My buyer’s bank required a deposit and they don’t have it. Since my purchase was linked to the sale it has collapsed. Meh. So back to square 1, house back on the market.

Assuming still have costs for failing to supply a deposit/breaking the agreement?

No doesn't work like that. Suspension conditions are getting a bond before a certain date or else sale is cancelled.
