| Buildings, fencing or walls | Building plans may not legally be approved by the City of Johannesburg without it. | No fee |
To request any consent, email rosemarys@mweb.co.za.For other queries contact the director, Owen Sandison, on 082 558 7958 orowen@gr-hydra.co.za.
Selling a property
Every title deed in the Estate says the property may not be sold ("alienated") without the Syndicate's prior written consent. The aim is to prevent sales to buyers who plan to develop inappropriately, for example at a high density that conflicts with the Estate's ethos. Such a buyer would in all likelihood not receive consent.
- Contact the Syndicate early, ideally once an offer is accepted. Email rosemarys@mweb.co.za with the property address/erf number, seller and buyer details, and the conveyancer's contact details.
- Pay the R1,500.00 admin fee to Kyalami Syndicate (Pty) Ltd. Payment details will be supplied on request.
- Receive the signed Consent and give it to your conveyancer for lodging at the Deeds Office.
- Your conveyancer must carry the title-deed conditions forward into the new owner's deed (a legal requirement).
BCE (the security company) has no authority to prevent the registration of a sale, whether for non-payment of amounts it claims or otherwise. Only the Syndicate's consent is required under the title deed.
Buildings, fencing and walls
No buildings or fencing (which includes walls) may be erected without the Syndicate's prior written consent. Consent is only withheld if there is evidence that the plan is inappropriate for the equestrian and countrified ethos of the Estate, for example a home covering all or most of a property, or extending to three or four storeys.
- Email your plans (site plan and elevations as PDF) to rosemarys@mweb.co.za, with the property address/erf number and a short description.
- The Syndicate reviews the plans against the Estate's ethos and may ask questions.
- Receive the written Consent and include it with your building plan submission to the City of Johannesburg.
