Development feasibility & due diligence for Claremont properties
A purchaser or owner is considering development, investment or a change of use.
Two properties in Claremont can need quite different approaches to development feasibility & due diligence. What counts is the individual erf: its zoning and any annexure, the title deed conditions, registered servitudes, earlier approvals and the City of Tshwane policy that applies to its location.

Questions we'd ask about your Claremont property
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria West & Akasia?
- Have neighbouring properties in Claremont or Lady Selborne had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Claremont erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
Separate existing rights from hoped-for rights. Confirm land status, title, policy, access, services, constraints and the proposed development scale.
What the planner does
Produce an agreed-scope planning investigation with assumptions, constraints and possible routes. Surveying, geotechnical, engineering, environmental and financial feasibility work require their own specialists.
