Township establishment for Rietfontein properties
A proposed development requires a township rather than a simple subdivision of an existing erf.
Two properties in Rietfontein can need quite different approaches to township establishment. 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.

Questions we'd ask about your Rietfontein property
- What is the current zoning of the Rietfontein erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed township establishment?
- 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?
