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.
Typical real estate floor plans requests in the area come from:
- Families building a new house: a clear plan with room sizes so buyers see the layout before the first viewing

Local tips for Pietermaritzburg
Popular here: heritage house alterations, student rental rooms and township extensions.

Who does the work: draughtspersons in Scottsville and Hayfields; heritage architects in the city centre.
Around Pietermaritzburg the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a clear plan with room sizes so buyers see the layout before the first viewing. Expect room sizes true to the building as the baseline, and keep in mind: midlands thunderstorms and cold winters: ask about drainage and roof insulation.
