A straightforward path to finding the right property opportunity in South Africa.
We discuss your budget, preferred regions, and investment goals — whether rental income, capital growth, or a first home.
Our team analyses current listings, recent sales, and neighbourhood trends across Gauteng, Cape Town, and Durban.
We present a curated shortlist of properties, each accompanied by a due diligence report covering sectional title health and municipal records.
We arrange viewings and accompany you to assess each property’s condition, location, and compliance with your brief.
We guide you through making an offer, negotiating price and conditions, and liaising with estate agents and conveyancers.
We coordinate the transfer process, ensure all conditions are met, and hand over a complete property file with key documents.
Each service is built around the real constraints of the South African market — from bond approval timelines to municipal valuation appeals.
Quarterly data on median prices, rental trends, and days-on-market across Gauteng, Cape Town, and Durban. Reports include suburb-level absorption rates and new development pipeline analysis.
We model cash flow, capital growth scenarios, and sectional title levy impacts for single-unit and portfolio buyers. Stress tests include interest rate hikes and vacancy periods up to six months.
Review of body corporate minutes, reserve fund statements, and compliance with the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act. We flag special levies, pending litigation, and maintenance backlogs.
Assistance with municipal property valuation objections in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Tshwane. We prepare comparable sales evidence and submit formal appeals within statutory deadlines.
We act on behalf of investors during property viewings, offer negotiations, and bond application stages. Our team reviews sale agreements for onerous clauses and ensures compliance with the Property Practitioners Act.
For clients with three or more properties, we provide annual portfolio reviews covering loan-to-value ratios, refinancing opportunities, and diversification across residential and commercial assets.

Real feedback from property investors and homebuyers across South Africa.
“DepositFinder helped me secure a FLISP grant for my first home in Midrand. Their team walked me through every document and I saved over R80,000 on the deposit. Incredible service.”
Thandi M.
First-time buyer, Gauteng
“The rental yield comparison between Cape Town and Johannesburg gave me the clarity I needed. I invested in a townhouse in Randburg and my net yield is 9.2% — exactly as forecasted.”
James K.
Property investor, Western Cape
“Their due diligence checklist for sectional title schemes saved me from buying into a complex with a massive special levy. I used it on three viewings and walked away from two bad deals.”
Nomsa D.
Homebuyer, Durban
