Student rooms near the university in Scottsville and Pelham are typical rental extensions, and need escape routes and fire details shown.
Homes and buildings in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is the old colonial capital of Natal, and its Victorian and Edwardian streets still hold many buildings that are older than 60 years. Scottsville, Clarendon, Chase Valley and Athlone have older houses that are extended or restored, while Hayfields, Montrose and Wembley have large family stands. Edendale, Imbali and Northdale have dense township housing with extensions and rental rooms, and the Midlands towns of Hilton and Howick spread out along the N3. Cooler winters than the coast and summer thunderstorms influence roofs and drainage. Architects handle the heritage work, while draughtspersons cover most houses.
