Overview

What this service is and why it matters

Who it is for: Developers, body corporates, and owners of buildings and units.

Sectional title ownership is a more affordable alternative to owning a freestanding plot. It lets owners hold individual units within a scheme while sharing common property.

GeoSurv handles sectional title surveys, prepares the plans needed to register them with the deeds office, and advises clients on the advantages and disadvantages of this form of ownership.
