What to know locally in Randburg
Linden and Ferndale have many houses with enclosed stoeps, carports turned into rooms and asbestos roofs replaced years ago, so buyers often request as-built drawings before transfer. Owners extending a kitchen or main bedroom need alterations plans that show old walls and new work in separate colours. Shops and takeaways along Republic Road and Hendrik Verwoerd Drive order commercial layouts, including extraction and toilets.
Homes and buildings in Randburg
Randburg is a mid-sized, mostly established area north-west of the CBD, with leafy streets and a busy commercial centre around Republic Road. Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Linden and Northcliff have single-storey houses from the 1950s to 1980s on stands of around 1,000 square metres, many now extended, subdivided or replaced by townhouses. The rocky Northcliff ridge gives steep stands with views, and further out Bromhof and Strijdom Park have newer family homes. Retail and office owners along Jan Smuts Avenue need commercial plans. Renovators dominate here: adding a bedroom, enclosing a stoep or building a flat for a tenant. Plans come from nearby draughtspersons and technologists.
