Excision of agricultural holdings for Silver Lakes properties
Development or registration needs may require a change in the holding’s legal status.

Questions we'd ask about your Silver Lakes property
- What is the current zoning of the Silver Lakes erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed excision of agricultural holdings?
- 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?
Checks before appointment
Establish the registered holding, governing restrictions and proposed use. Excision and new land-use rights are different issues.
