    Pre-purchase property reports

    Before you buy, sell or develop, a Landlodz planner checks what the property allows and what could stop your plan, and puts it in a written opinion. It is the step after the Zoning snapshot and Potential report: those are research from public records, while a pre-purchase property report is a planner's professional opinion.

    Per application

    Land use applications

    A once-off professional service fee per SPLUMA application type. Prices are indicative starting points for a single parcel; the final quote is confirmed on consult once scope and complexity are known.

    What the application fee covers

    • Planner intake - review of your property, zoning context and proposed development against SPLUMA criteria
    • SPLUMA-aligned motivational report and the full supporting document pack drafted to municipal standard
    • 12-point planner verification before any submission leaves Landlodz
    • Municipal lodgement with the relevant land use management department and ongoing liaison until a decision is issued
    • Direct updates from our planner by email and WhatsApp

    Per appeal

    Appeals

    When you instruct us to lodge a formal appeal against a municipal decision. The appeal fee is separate from the original application fee and has its own pro-forma and final invoice.

    Appeal

    Appeal the outcome of any land use application.

    Per document

    Property documents

    Existing records for the erf, retrieved for you so our planner - or your conveyancer - has what they need.

    Title Deed Copy

    A copy of the registered title deed for the property, retrieved from the Deeds Office record.

    R 399

    SG Diagram

    The existing Surveyor-General diagram on record for the erf, showing its surveyed boundaries.

    R 250

    Bundle (Both)

    Title deed copy and SG diagram together - the pair most planners and conveyancers ask for.

    R 600

    Only if you need them

    Optional add-ons

    Nothing here is charged without a pro-forma invoice first.

    Extra planner consultation time

    Quoted first

    Time beyond the included scope is billed in 30-minute increments, with a pro-forma invoice issued before any time is used.

    Re-submission after changes you ask for

    50% of the service fee

    If you change the proposal materially after drafting, the re-submission is billed at half of the original application fee.

    Hard-copy courier of the lodgement pack

    At cost

    Where a council needs paper copies, the courier is passed on at what it costs us.

    Set by the municipality

    Municipal fees

    Statutory municipal application fees are set by each municipality, not by Landlodz. Our planner confirms the exact amount in writing before lodgement, and it is invoiced separately at cost - we add nothing to it.

    Billing

    How we invoice

    Every invoice is issued by Landlodz (Pty) Ltd in South African Rand. Landlodz is not currently registered as a VAT vendor, so no VAT is added to our fees.
