Houses for Sale in Durban North, KwaZulu-Natal

Durban North is a long-established residential suburb north of the city centre and south of the Umhlanga corridor, with easy access to the M4 coast road, King Shaka International Airport via the N2, and beaches along the Indian Ocean. Many streets are lined with 1960s and 1970s houses, with newer security complexes in parts. Neighbourhood watches, CCTV and armed-response contracts are standard parts of the monthly budget.

The city is warm and humid, so check roofs, damp and termite history in inspections. Backup power or solar and water storage are common, due to occasional outages.

Non-residents can buy and own property in South Africa without a permit. Exchange control still applies: funds must come in through an authorised dealer, and you should keep the paperwork so that sale proceeds can be remitted later. A conveyancer, appointed by the seller, handles the transfer through the Deeds Office, and buyers pay transfer duty on a sliding scale plus conveyancing and bond registration fees. Rates and thresholds change, so ask the conveyancer for current figures.

Johannesburg, Pretoria and Alberton are in Gauteng, hundreds of kilometres inland, and are separate markets; they are shown here as price comparisons, not neighbours. Look at the budget listings too.
