Purchase or lease of municipal land for Parktown Estate properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
Two properties in Parktown Estate 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 Parktown Estate is
From our register: Parktown Estate is listed in our Central & Northern Pretoria group; nearby are Pretoria Central, Pretoria North, Prinshof and Queenswood. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 44 other areas under Central & Northern Pretoria; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Parktown Estate property
- 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?
- Have neighbouring properties in Parktown Estate or Pretoria Central had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Parktown Estate erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment
