Frequently Asked

Buyer Questions Answered

A considered guide to the details that matter most — from developer pedigree and pricing through to security, rental yield, and the legal framework behind your purchase.

This is a brand-new development of 16 architecturally designed duplex units in the heart of Abbotsford, Johannesburg. Each unit is a 2–3 bedroom, 2–2.5 bathroom duplex with a floor size of 112–145 m², set on a sought-after, tree-lined street. Units are limited, and given the boutique scale of the development, early reservation is strongly advised.

The developer is Intappoint, a well-established Johannesburg-based property development company with a strong track record of delivering quality residential developments across the city. One of their most notable flagship projects is Latitude in Melrose — a premium residential development that set a high benchmark for modern urban living in Johannesburg.

Intappoint has built a diverse portfolio of developments across multiple JHB suburbs, consistently delivering on both design quality and build integrity. Their reputation is one of the key confidence factors for buyers in this Abbotsford development.

No — this is one of the most commercially attractive features of this development. Transfer duty is R0, as this is a brand-new development sold by a VAT-registered developer. The VAT is already incorporated into the purchase price, meaning buyers save significantly on acquisition costs compared to purchasing a resale property at the same price point.

The development is currently under construction with an estimated completion from December 2026. Buyers entering now are purchasing off-plan, which carries the dual advantage of locking in the current price and allowing time to arrange bond finance. As a PPRA-compliant practitioner, we always advise clients to ensure their bond approval is in place well ahead of occupation.

For the 3-bedroom unit at R 3,850,000, estimated monthly repayments are approximately R 37,793 based on standard bond calculations at prevailing prime-linked interest rates — though this is subject to the deposit paid, interest rate, and loan term.

For the 2-bedroom unit at R 3,220,000, estimated monthly bond repayments are approximately R 31,609 over a standard 20-year term with no deposit. Putting down a 10% deposit of R 322,000 would reduce monthly repayments to approximately R 28,448 — a meaningful monthly saving.

We recommend running a full bond affordability assessment through a bond originator such as BetterBond (Chas Everitt’s preferred partner) to obtain a tailored pre-qualification before committing.

Each duplex offers:

  • 2–3 spacious bedrooms with built-in cupboards
  • 2–2.5 bathrooms, including a main en-suite
  • Open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen
  • Designer kitchen with premium appliances and luxury finish packages
  • Gas hob
  • Private covered patio and garden
  • Private storeroom (3-bedroom units only)
  • Entrance hall and guest toilet

The finish standard throughout is luxury.

Security has been thoughtfully addressed. The development includes:

  • Electric fencing
  • CCTV (closed-circuit TV)
  • Alarm system with 24-hour response
  • Intercom and security gate
  • Access-controlled entry

For Johannesburg buyers, this level of estate-style security infrastructure within a boutique development is a significant lifestyle and investment consideration.

The development includes a backup water tank (well point) as standard, addressing water security concerns. An inverter backup power solution is also available as a cost option — meaning buyers can elect to add this during the specification phase at an additional price. Given Johannesburg’s ongoing infrastructure challenges, we strongly recommend buyers include this option at purchase stage rather than retrofitting post-occupation.

Yes, the development is pet-friendly — a notable feature for the target market. Buyers with pets should, however, confirm the Body Corporate’s pet policy once the Sectional Title Scheme rules are formalised, as specific breed or size restrictions may apply.

Each unit comes with 2 parking bays, covered with shade net. While not enclosed garages, the covered parking provides reasonable weather protection and security within the access-controlled development. Buyers with luxury vehicles may wish to enquire about additional security provisions. Visitor parking is also available.

Yes — fibre connectivity is included in the development’s infrastructure, making it well-suited to remote workers, professionals, and tenants who prioritise high-speed internet. This is a meaningful amenity that enhances both lifestyle appeal and rental marketability.

The 2-bedroom unit presents a compelling buy-to-let case. At R 3,220,000, with comparable 2-bedroom duplex rentals in the Abbotsford / Melrose / Illovo corridor achieving approximately R 18,000–R 22,000 per month, the gross rental yield lands between 6.7% and 8.2%. The 2-bedroom format is particularly attractive to the rental market’s broadest tenant demographic — young professionals, couples, and small families — ensuring lower vacancy risk. The upstairs working space adds further appeal to the growing remote-work tenant segment.

The 3-bedroom unit at R 3,850,000, based on comparable rentals in the northern suburbs corridor, can achieve approximately R 22,000–R 26,000 per month. This translates to a gross rental yield of roughly 6.8%–8.1% — above the Johannesburg residential average of 6–7% for this price bracket. With a brand-new unit, there is minimal maintenance liability in the short term, making this a compelling buy-to-let proposition.

Since this is a new development, the Body Corporate levies have not yet been formally set. Buyers should request the estimated levy schedule from the developer as part of their due diligence. As a sectional title development, ongoing costs will cover common-area maintenance, security, landscaping, and building insurance. Ensure the levy estimate is reviewed before signing the Offer to Purchase, as this directly impacts your net yield calculation.

Each unit comes with a private covered patio and garden area, creating a meaningful indoor-outdoor living connection. The patio is covered, making it practical year-round for Johannesburg’s afternoon summer rain patterns. The garden is set within a secure, landscaped communal environment — a tranquil, leafy outlook particularly appealing given Abbotsford’s established tree canopy.

As PPRA-compliant brokers, we advise all buyers to request and review the following before committing:

  1. Draft Deed of Sale / OTP with all annexures
  2. Developer’s NHBRC enrolment certificate (National Home Builders Registration Council — mandatory for new builds)
  3. Sectional Title Scheme rules and estimated levy schedule
  4. Building plans and approved specifications
  5. Completion guarantee or developer’s performance security
  6. FICA documentation requirements (identity, proof of residence, source of funds)

The absence of transfer duty does not negate the need for thorough legal due diligence.

Each 2-bedroom unit offers 112 m² of floor area across two levels. To contextualise this: 112 m² is a generous footprint for a 2-bedroom duplex in the Johannesburg market — many comparable new sectional title apartments in Rosebank or Sandton deliver 2-bedroom units in the 75–95 m² range. The duplex format means living areas and bedrooms are separated across floors, which significantly enhances the sense of space, privacy, and lifestyle quality over a flat-plan apartment of the same size.

The 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom duplex (112 m²) sits at a more accessible price point of R 3,220,000, compared to the 3-bedroom option at R 3,850,000 (145 m²) — a difference of R 630,000. For buyers who don’t require the third bedroom, the 2-bedroom unit delivers the same premium architectural design, finish quality, and lifestyle offering at a meaningfully lower acquisition cost, with a correspondingly lower monthly bond commitment. It is the sharper entry point into the same address.

At R 3,220,000 for 112 m², the price per square metre is approximately R 28,750/m². For new-build, luxury-finished sectional title units in the northern JHB suburbs corridor (Melrose, Illovo, Rosebank), comparable new developments are pricing between R 28,000–R 38,000/m² depending on location and specification. This unit therefore sits at the more accessible end of the new-build premium market, offering good relative value for the area, the specification level, and the developer pedigree on offer.

Abbotsford sits within the highly sought-after northern JHB residential corridor, in close proximity to Melrose, Illovo, Rosebank, and Sandton. It benefits from excellent access to major arterials (M1, William Nicol, Oxford Road), top-rated schools, religious institutions, upmarket retail, and dining.

The suburb has seen growing developer interest precisely because it offers relative affordability compared to Melrose and Illovo, with comparable lifestyle access. Intappoint’s track record in adjacent areas — most notably Latitude in Melrose — provides market confidence that this Abbotsford development is strategically positioned for both capital appreciation and rental demand. Based on current CMA data and the area’s trajectory, this development sits in a strong growth corridor for the medium-to-long term.
