Prices and Property Types
D Section is one of Umlazi’s established residential sections, with freestanding family homes as well as subsidised (RDP/BNG) houses. Houses advertised “by owner” or “under R500 000” do appear, but the number available changes from week to week.
Compare the number of bedrooms, stand size, boundary walls, garages and outbuildings, and whether the title deed is registered, before comparing prices.

Buying or Renting Checklist
- View the house in person and meet the seller or a registered estate agent. Estate agents must hold a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate from the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA).
- Ask a conveyancer to do a deeds office search to confirm the seller is the registered owner and that there are no restrictions on the title.
- Government-subsidised (RDP/BNG) houses may not be sold within eight years of the owner receiving them unless first offered back to the provincial housing department. Get legal advice before buying one.
- Ask for a municipal rates clearance and check that water and electricity accounts are paid up.
- Pay deposits only into a conveyancer’s or registered agent’s trust account, never in cash or to a personal account.
- Be careful with “repossessed” or “vandalised” house adverts. Bank-repossessed homes are sold through the bank’s appointed agents or auctioneers, so confirm the seller before paying anything.
