Consolidation for Hillcrest properties
A development spans boundaries or the owner needs a single registered property.
Being in Hillcrest does not by itself decide whether consolidation 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.
Where Hillcrest is
From our register: Hillcrest is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are La Montagne, Lydiana, Lynnwood and Lynnwood Glen. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Hillcrest property
- Have neighbouring properties in Hillcrest or La Montagne had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Hillcrest erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed consolidation?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Check ownership, mortgage bonds, servitudes, existing zonings and approval conditions. Consolidation does not automatically harmonise different rights.
What the planner does
Coordinate the planning requirements, diagram and registration sequence with the surveyor and conveyancer. Confirm whether associated rights amendments are also needed.
