Find out your zoning is wrong on your terms, not the municipalityā€™s.
A full course on South African zoning and town planning, written specifically for student accommodation investors.
Most landlords find out their zoning is wrong the same three ways.
A notice from the municipality. A sale that stalls on the day it should close. Or a bank that will not finance a property that is not compliant. By then it is expensive, slow, and out of your hands.
Zoning is not the exciting part of property. It is the part that quietly decides whether you own an asset or a problem.
Zoning and town planning from the ground up, for investors.
Twenty lessons in plain language. By the end you can read your own zoning certificate instead of taking someone elseā€™s word for it. The course covers:
Reading a zoning certificate
What it actually says, and how to read yours with confidence.
The SPLUMA framework
What actually governs zoning in South Africa, in plain terms.
Municipal consent and rezoning
How to apply, and the difference between consent use and rezoning.
Student accommodation zoning
A dedicated lesson on zoning your student property specifically.
Short term rental and Airbnb
Where these fit, and where they do not.
Before you buy
What to check before you buy a property that is not compliant yet.
For investors who would rather find the problem first.
You are about to buy
And you want to know the property is compliant before you sign, not after.
You already own
And you would rather find a zoning issue yourself than have a bank or a municipality find it for you.
You will know what to ask a town planner, what getting compliant costs, and how to spot a problem before it becomes yours.
I have done this 51 times.
Not in theory, and not from a spreadsheet. Every lesson and every answer here came from a property I bought, filled, accredited, and ran myself, including the ones that went wrong first. This is the shortcut I wish someone had handed me.
The landlords and partners we work with.
"Throughout our working relationship, My Student House has demonstrated professional and responsive communication ... and a strong understanding of property legislation and compliance."
"I trust their ability to manage properties to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend My Student House to other landlords or organisations seeking reliable and professional property management."
The questions landlords usually have.
Do I need any planning background?
No. It is written for property investors in plain language, not for town planners.
Is it specific to student accommodation?
It covers zoning broadly, with a dedicated lesson on zoning your student accommodation property specifically.
Will it help before I buy?
Yes. There is a lesson on exactly what to check before you buy a property that is not compliant yet.
Can I pay another way instead of card?
Yes. If card or PayPal does not suit you, there is a direct payment option at checkout.
