## Market context

Large erven and bespoke improvements make simple averages especially unreliable. Valuation should account for exact location, land utility, building quality, outlook, security, services and the cost of deferred maintenance.

High asking prices and distinctive architecture do not prove achieved market value. Sellers need strong comparable evidence; buyers need detailed building, planning, insurance and operating-cost due diligence.

## Common property types

- Large freehold family properties
- Luxury and architectural homes
- Security-estate residences
- Smaller homes and sectional-title options in surrounding nodes

## Evidence sellers should prepare

- Use achieved sales adjusted for land and improvement quality
- Prepare plans, borehole, solar and security records
- Quantify operating and maintenance costs honestly
- Use professional photography without overstating features

## Checks buyers should complete

- Commission appropriate building and specialist inspections
- Verify water, energy and security systems
- Check title conditions, servitudes and planning constraints
- Stress-test insurance, upkeep and finance costs

## Sharia-conscious property decisions

A large deposit or premium property price does not by itself make a finance structure suitable. Review ownership shares, payment adjustment, insurance responsibility and early exit using the exact documents.
