Development feasibility & due diligence for Olympus properties
A purchaser or owner is considering development, investment or a change of use.
Two properties in Olympus 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.
Where Olympus is
From our register: Olympus is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group; nearby are Persequor, Pretoriuspark, Rietvalleirand and Shere. 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 Olympus property
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed development feasibility & due diligence?
- 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 Pretoria East & Old East?
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.
Information to gather
An initial enquiry can start with the suburb (Olympus) and a short description of your proposal. For a submission, the following is usually confirmed:
- Property description or municipal account
- Current zoning information
- Title deed and available servitude records
- Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment
- Proposed use, intensity, parking and concept layout
Cost categories
