Subdivision for Pretoria West properties
An owner wants to sell a portion, restructure ownership or create separate development sites.
The suburb name alone tells us little about subdivision. For a Pretoria West stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.

Questions we'd ask about your Pretoria West property
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria West & Akasia?

- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed subdivision?
Checks before appointment
Test access, services, existing buildings, title restrictions and the applicable density and subdivision controls. There is no single minimum stand size for all Pretoria suburbs.
What the planner does
Develop a workable land-division proposal with a registered land surveyor, motivate the planning application and track conditions. Approval alone does not create a registered new erf.
