The South African property market is a vibrant, ever-evolving landscape that attracts local and international buyers and investors. So, what factors need to be considered before purchasing an investment property or a dream home?
Let’s discover and explore these key factors with the help of our professional property practitioners, ready to help you invest in Legaro Property Development’s exclusive residential properties in Gauteng and the Western Cape.
Location
Your property’s location is the first priority. Proximity to local amenities, such as schools, retail centres, and healthcare facilities, is crucial. It’s also essential to consider factors like neighbourhood and development safety and accessibility to business districts.
For property agent Christopher Berdanis, his first day helping a client find the perfect space in the ideal location was when he knew this was a career he wanted to pursue.
“Forming relationships with people is my favourite part of the job, and there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing that I’ve helped someone find their dream home. The joy and gratitude that my clients express after a successful sale or purchase are truly priceless.”
Security and Safety
For safety and security reasons, purchasing property in established suburbs and looking at developments and estates that offer robust security measures is essential. Legaro’s developments are located in upmarket areas and offer state-of-the-art security measures that include 24-hour security, CCTV surveillance, and biometric access to estates.
Lifestyle and Amenities
People are looking for spaces where they can thrive professionally and personally, making properties offering on-site lifestyle and leisure amenities or well within reach lucrative investments. Developments with onsite lifestyle centres, like Legaro’s The Emerald in Hyde Park, provide a curated selection of sports and leisure facilities and modern conveniences like boardrooms, office spaces and wi-fi. Also, look for developments with local amenities and recreational facilities such as parks, beaches, wildlife reserves, and hiking trails.
Return on Investment
For investors, a favourable return on investment is critical, making high-income areas with high rental demand, emerging areas with growing opportunities and infrastructure, and suburbs with reliable service delivery the best options for investment. Legaro Property Development’s upmarket residential properties in Gauteng and the Western Cape are strategically located to ensure that buyers receive their desired outcomes, whether buying as an investment or investing in a dream home.
Tesslyn Naidoo, property agent for Legaro, understands the importance of making a sound investment and achieving desirable outcomes.

I have a great understanding of the property market and a keen eye for detail, allowing me to identify desirable properties and negotiate the best deals for my clients.”

South Africa’s interest in environmental consciousness and sustainable living is growing.
