checkproperty.co.za tells you what you can do with a property in Johannesburg, in minutes. Search by address or erf number, preview the property for free, and get a property report (dossier) as a web page and a PDF. The Service is operated by Active Wave Group (Pty) Ltd.
Who it is for
- Small developers and property investors sizing up a site before making an offer.
- Town planners, architects, conveyancers and valuers who need the facts on an erf quickly.
- Estate agents preparing a listing or advising a buyer.
- Home buyers who want to know what they are buying.
What you get
- Basic property report — erf details, size, location map, sales history, comparable sales, suburb statistics and site constraints such as floodlines and dolomite.
- Development potential report — everything in Basic, plus zoning and planning information, building lines, title deed reference, servitudes and the survey diagram. Where we have verified the rules for the property’s zone, it also sets out permitted uses, coverage and height limits and assesses second-dwelling and subdivision potential.
We currently cover Johannesburg only. A section appears in a report only when there is information for it, and the property page lists what each report contains before you pay.
Where the data comes from
All data in the application is sourced from public sources. Every report shows the date its data was retrieved.
We do not collect, store or display the names, identity numbers or contact details of property owners. A report is about the property, not the person.
What a report is not
The information in this report is indicative only and may be out of date. It is not a zoning certificate, a valuation or professional advice, and must be verified with the relevant authority before any decision is made.
