Specialist municipal rates and property valuation services across South Africa
Municipal Services
01
Valuation Disputes
If your property has been incorrectly valued on the municipal roll, you could be overpaying rates. We manage the full dispute process — from initial enquiry and formal objection through to Valuation Appeal Board hearings — to ensure your property is fairly assessed.
02
Utility Disputes
Municipal utility billing errors are more common than most property owners realise. Where discrepancies arise across utility billing, we can help assess the situation and advise on the best course of action.
03
Rates
Municipal rates accounts require careful management throughout the lifecycle of a property. We assist with sourcing up-to-date account information, opening and closing accounts, updating property and owner details, and ensuring your account reflects the correct billing information.
04
Valuation Rolls
Staying ahead of the municipal valuation cycle is critical for property owners and investors. We monitor official Gazette publications across South Africa to ensure we react promptly to every published valuation roll, keeping your property or portfolio tracked and positioned to respond at the right time.
01
Rebate applications
Certain property owners qualify for meaningful reductions on their municipal rates through rebate programmes. We assess your eligibility and handle the application process for pensioner rebates, public benefit organisations, and other qualifying categories.
02
Credit transfers
When properties are sold, accounts are closed, or billing adjustments are made, credit balances can accumulate on municipal accounts. We facilitate the transfer of credits between property rates accounts or refund directly to your bank account.
03
Rates reconciliations
Where municipal rates adjustments arise, they can significantly impact your billing and account balance. We request and follow up on necessary journals and adjustments, query historical discrepancies, and perform full reconciliations to ensure your account is accurate and up to date.
04
Rates risk analysis
Changes to a municipal valuation roll can significantly affect your rates liability — sometimes retroactively. We analyse both current and anticipated rates exposure across your property portfolio, giving you the financial visibility to plan and budget with confidence.
Valuations Services
Municipal
We prepare independent property valuations specifically for municipal purposes — whether to support a valuation objection, quantify a rates impact, or provide comparable evidence for an appeal. Our valuations are prepared by registered professionals and comply with MPRA requirements.
Financials
Accurate property valuations are essential for financial reporting, asset management, and investment decision-making. We provide independent valuations aligned to relevant reporting standards, covering commercial, industrial, residential, and specialised property types.
Estate Late
The administration of a deceased estate requires a reliable, defensible valuation of all property assets. We provide independent valuations for estate late purposes, prepared by registered valuers, including the completion of REV246 forms.
Purchase and Sale
Whether you are buying or selling, an independent valuation gives you an objective basis for negotiation. We assess market value across all property types, from residential homes to large commercial portfolios — so you transact with confidence.
Insurance
Underinsurance is one of the most common and costly mistakes property owners make. We provide replacement cost valuations to ensure your property is insured for the correct amount, helping to protect your property and investment.
Mortgage Bonds
Lenders require an independent valuation before approving a mortgage bond. Our registered valuers prepare bank-compliant valuation reports accepted by major financial institutions, covering residential and commercial properties across South Africa.
Expropriation
Where property is subject to expropriation, an accurate and independent valuation is essential. We provide professional valuations to ensure the true value of your property is properly established and documented.
Land Reform
Land reform transactions require independent valuations to support fair outcomes for all parties. We provide professional valuations in support of land reform processes, working with landowners and relevant stakeholders to establish a reliable and defensible value.
