Understanding Soweto
Soweto is made up of many areas such as Orlando, Diepkloof, Meadowlands, Pimville and Dobsonville, each with its own feel. It has a large tourism trade, a theatre, restaurants on Vilakazi Street and a growing middle class. Transport includes minibus taxis, commuter rail and the Rea Vaya bus service into Johannesburg.
Buyers are overwhelmingly local. Overseas interest is rare and tends to be investors or diaspora buyers who have personal connections. For the surrounding area see Roodepoort, Randfontein, Walkerville, Johannesburg, Krugersdorp and Randburg.
Title deeds and other checks
- Title. Many township homes were originally held under older tenure forms. Ask the conveyancer for the current registered title and confirm the seller is the registered owner.
- Informal additions. Backyard dwellings may lack building approval.
- Municipal arrears. Check rates and services accounts.
- Security. Visit the street at different times and talk to neighbours.
- Rental plans. Check demand with a local letting agent, not just the asking rent.
