Prices and Property Types
Land advertised in and around Umlazi usually falls into one of these groups:
- Residential stands inside a section, zoned for a single house.
- Stands with an old or unfinished structure, sold at close to land value.
- Larger sites on main roads that may be zoned for business or community use.
- Informal “sites” offered on land the seller does not hold title to. These are the riskiest and should be avoided unless a conveyancer confirms ownership.
The price of a site depends on its size, slope, zoning, access to water, sewer and electricity connections, and whether it is registered in the seller’s name. A cheap site with no services can cost far more to build on than a serviced stand.

Buying or Renting Checklist
- Visit the site in person and ask the seller to point out the boundary pegs. If pegs are missing, a land surveyor can re-establish them.
- 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.
- Check the zoning with eThekwini Municipality’s land use management office before you buy, especially if you plan to build rooms to rent or run a business.
- Land held by the Ingonyama Trust, found in some traditional council areas around eThekwini, cannot be bought with a title deed. Be wary of anyone selling a “site” on such land.
- Confirm that water, sewer and electricity connections are available, and ask for a rates clearance on the stand.
- Building plans must be drawn by a person registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) and approved by eThekwini before building starts.
- Pay deposits only into a conveyancer’s or registered estate agent’s trust account, never in cash.
