Purchase or lease of municipal land for Deerness properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Being in Deerness does not by itself decide whether purchase or lease of municipal land is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.

Questions we'd ask about your Deerness property
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
- 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 Central & Northern Pretoria?
Checks before appointment
