Hi there,
COO MESSAGE
All eyes are on the upcoming local elections
All eyes are on the upcoming local elections
In our last poll, over 60% of property practitioners said they’re already paying attention to what’s ahead. Some are actively planning, while others are waiting to see how the election outcomes could impact the market. With so much at stake, we’ve put together content to help you prepare before South Africans head to the ballot box.

And while on the topic of staying in the loop, we’d love to reward those who keep up with our products and services. Every month, Prop Data will be running a competition. All you need to do is answer a simple question, which you’ll find on our management system or in our monthly newsletter. If you get it right, you’ll be entered into a lucky draw to win a Takealot voucher.

Let’s get shopping,

WHAT'S TRENDING
The remote and hybrid working shift has sparked a suburban renaissance, as workers search for homes that offer more space, value for money, and a better quality of life.
Property market sentiment is rising because of improving confidence and affordable borrowing, which are encouraging more people to buy and invest.
Despite cooling rental growth and affordability pressures, tenant arrears are at historic lows.
