Features and tools - that are easy to use.

Open the map and every property in the coverage area is already there — valued, zoned, measured and traced back through its transfers. No listing required, because nothing here depends on one.

A map that shows you everything you want to know.

Most property maps show you what is for sale. This one shows you everything — every erf in the municipality, each carrying its municipal value, its zoning, its size and its history. Filter it down and the result is a list of properties nobody has advertised.

Street-level map with a municipal value shown on every erf

Values on every erf

Zoom in and the value sits on the property itself, alongside the cadastral boundary and the building footprint. No hovering, no clicking through — the whole street reads at once.

The same block rendered in three dimensions with building masses extruded and values above them

Built form in three dimensions

Switch to 3D and the building masses come up out of the ground. Useful when coverage, bulk and the difference between a single storey and a walk-up are what you are actually assessing.

Map with a business zoning filter applied, matching erven highlighted in green

Zoning as a filter, not a guess

Apply a zoning filter and only the matching erven stay lit. Twelve business-zoned properties on this screen, picked out of several hundred — the kind of question that otherwise takes a town-planning enquiry.

Map in units mode, each sectional title scheme labelled with its number of units

Sectional schemes, counted

Units mode replaces the value with the number of units in each sectional title scheme, so a block of flats reads as thirty-four doors rather than one address.

Click any property and the record opens.

Zoning, erf size, area under roof, coverage, rates, municipal value and how that value moved between valuation rolls — assembled from the deeds registry, the municipal valuation roll, the town planning scheme and building outlines detected from imagery.

The record header. Everything below it is organised into property facts, area profile, sales and nearby activity, and a data quality breakdown.

Or read it without leaving the map

The same record opens as a panel over the map, so you can work a street without losing your place. Municipal value is shown next to the previous roll and the area median, and the owner fields stay blank unless you have the standing to see them.

  • Municipal value against the previous general valuation
  • Value per m² on both erf and gross floor area
  • Estimated monthly rates on the current tariff
  • A data quality score for the record itself

Owner and ID fields render blank. That is the product behaving correctly.

Cadastral fact and Building Intelligence

The left half is what the registry holds — title deed, LIS key, erf number, legal area, rates category. The right half is measured: the building outline, how much of the erf it covers, how many structures stand on it and how tall they are. The confidence of the estimate is stated rather than implied.

Building figures are marked Estimated where they are derived rather than registered.

Sectional title, handled as a scheme

A sectional scheme is not one property and the record does not pretend otherwise. The scheme opens with its unit count, its total municipal value across all units, its erf size and its scheme zoning — then you can go into the individual units.

Compare previously sold prices of nearby properties.

A price only means something next to other prices. Every record carries its own transfer history and its municipal valuation history, and then widens out to every recent sale on the same street.

Transfers and valuation rolls, side by side

The title deed and each recorded transfer, then the general valuation history underneath it. Reading the two together is how you tell a real movement in value from a revaluation — here a transfer at R 3.10M against a roll that moved 44.2% between GV2019 and GV2023.

Every recorded sale on the street, sortable by price, year, municipal value or erf size — with the nearest comparable properties alongside it.

Then widen it to the whole suburb

Switch the map to Recently Sold and every erf with a recorded transfer carries what it went for. The area stops being a set of council valuations and becomes a record of what people actually paid — which is the number that settles most pricing arguments.

The suburb around the property.

A property is worth what its area supports. Each record carries an area profile and a market trend built from recorded transfers — not from asking prices.

Area profile

What kind of place this is: the character of the housing stock, the schools in the suburb, the amenities within reach, and a read on safety and walkability.

Reports you can send.

Four reports, each pitched at a different scale — one property, one suburb, a whole town, or a valuation on its own. Generated on demand, dated, and carrying a data quality score so the reader knows how complete the record behind it is.

Property Report

Available now

Everything held on a single property — headline figures, location, ownership and transfer history, valuation summary, building intelligence and area context.

Suburb Report

On the roadmap

The same analysis at suburb level — median sold price, growth over the period, transaction volume and how liquid the market has been.

Town Report

On the roadmap

Suburb analysis widened to a whole town or municipality, so a market can be judged as a market rather than street by street.

AVM Report

In build

The automated valuation for a property on its own — the estimate, its range, and the figures it was reconciled against.
