What to check before viewing homes in Sea Point

Use these checks before you spend time on viewings. They help you avoid homes that look good online but do not fit your daily life, budget, or move timing.

Budget fit

Compare asking rent or bond costs against the R 23 000 rent midpoint estimate and your transport costs.

Daily routine

Test the commute, school run, shopping trips, and evening/weekend travel from the exact street, not only the suburb name.

Viewing questions

Ask about fibre, load-shedding area, parking, noise, lease terms, deposits, pet rules, and what is included in the monthly cost.
