Purchase or lease of municipal land for The Orchards 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 The Orchards 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 The Orchards 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 purchase or lease of municipal land?
Checks before appointment
