Development feasibility & due diligence for Menlyn properties
A purchaser or owner is considering development, investment or a change of use.
Being in Menlyn does not by itself decide whether development feasibility & due diligence 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.
