Purchase or lease of municipal land for Soshanguve properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
The suburb name alone tells us little about purchase or lease of municipal land. For a Soshanguve stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where Soshanguve is
Soshanguve lies roughly 32 km north of Church Square in central Pretoria, with Soshanguve South (about 13.1 km), Rosslyn (about 16.8 km), Bon Accord (about 19.4 km) and Winternest (about 19.9 km) among its nearest neighbours in our register. Distances are straight-line estimates from a GeoNames point, not boundaries. Also known as Сошангуве. We group it with 12 other areas under Wider Pretoria service areas; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your Soshanguve property
- Have neighbouring properties in Soshanguve or Soshanguve South had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the Soshanguve erf, and does it carry an annexure?
- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed purchase or lease of municipal land?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
