The Diligent 30% Rule.
Your total monthly cost of ownership — bond, rates, levies, insurance, maintenance — should not exceed 30% of your gross household income.
Banks underwrite to the bond. We underwrite to your life.
The Diligent newsletter.
Occasional, considered notes on the South African property market — written for people who'd rather see the numbers than the noise.
Institutional analysis,
for individuals.
Diligent was founded in Cape Town to bridge a gap: the analytical rigour applied to billion-rand institutional deals is almost never available to the people whose biggest financial decision is a single home or first investment. We translate that rigour — without the jargon, without the conflicts of interest, without the upsell.
