Purchase or lease of municipal land for Laudium properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Two properties in Laudium can need quite different approaches to purchase or lease of municipal land. 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.
Where Laudium is
Laudium lies roughly 10 km south-west of Church Square in central Pretoria. The closest areas in our list are Atteridgeville (about 3.0 km), Erasmia (about 3.2 km), West Park (about 4.2 km) and Lotus Gardens (about 4.5 km). Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as la wu di mu, latiyam, لؤڈیم, லாடியம், 拉烏迪姆. We group it with 36 other areas under Pretoria West & Akasia; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Laudium 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?
Checks before appointment
