Before any property valuation, see what nearby properties actually sold for
Most people in South Africa searching for a property valuation want one number. We don't produce that number, and it's better said here than after you've paid for a report.
What a findproperly report gives you is the record underneath any number: what this property transferred for, and what 15 registered sales around it actually fetched, each with its price, date, size and distance. It comes from the deeds office, so it's what buyers paid rather than what sellers asked.
One report is R99 once-off, with no account needed. Nothing is charged until you confirm.
What you get instead
Not a property valuation report. The registered facts instead.
A report is a deeds office search on one property, placed when you buy it. It tells you who is on the title deed, every transfer with its price and date, and the bonds registered against it, then sets 15 nearby registered sales beside it at no extra cost.
- The registered owner and the property description
- Every transfer, with its price and its date
- Registered bonds, the institutions behind them, and endorsements
- 15 nearby registered sales with price, date, size and distance
Select a report to bring it to the front.
An asking price is a hope. A registered sale is a fact.
A listing tells you what a seller would like. The deeds office records what a buyer actually paid, and the day the property transferred. That's the firmer footing, whether you're weighing an offer to purchase or deciding what to ask.
Fifteen nearby sales give you a spread rather than a single figure: bigger and smaller erven, older and newer transfers, each with its distance from the property you searched. How you read that spread is your call. We show you what the deeds say.
Questions about property valuation reports
Is a findproperly report a property valuation?
No. It is not a valuation and not a registered valuer's opinion, and it doesn't print a value for the property. If you searched for a property value report, this is a report of registered sales rather than a value. It shows what the deeds office records: the property's transfers with their prices and dates, and 15 registered sales nearby. If you need a formal valuation, ask a registered valuer.
What does the report include?
The registered owner and the property description, every transfer with its price and date, registered bonds with the institutions behind them and any endorsements, and 15 nearby registered sales with price, date, size and distance.
How many nearby sales come with it?
Fifteen, with every report, at no extra cost. Each one carries its price, its date, the size of the property and its distance from the one you searched.
Can I check a title deed myself?
Yes. Any deeds office will give you a printout of a property's registration facts, and a copy of the title deed on written application, in both cases for the prescribed fee. Registered subscribers to the deeds office's DeedsWEB service can get both online.
