“Willing Seller, Willing Buyer”: R9m Sea Point Fixer-Upper Finds Buyer Despite Online Mockery

Flatten it and build something new. You can always turn it into an apartment block which is getting quote common. I know of a few houses now where Pam Golding bought the old house for about R5 million, then flattened it and built 8 townhouses in its place and sold it for R5 million each, thus making R35 million more than they paid for it, less the building costs obviously.

But its become incredibly common.

Why do you say that?
I cant see the demand easing off anytime soon, both from international and local buyers.
The buyer of this is probably going to flatten it and build some multi home block to flog.
can only speak for atlantic seaboard - not other areas.
CoCT are on a urban high density drive - almost a fetish.
developers literally have carte blanche - coct continually allows departures from land use regulations etc.

the current demand / shortage will balance with availability
