What is a Sectional Scheme Report?

A Sectional Scheme Report offers detailed insights into a property's complex, including its location, age, and the distribution of units. It highlights recent sales, demographic information, and lending activities, helping stakeholders evaluate the property’s market positioning and performance.

Key Sections and What They Tell You

Recent Sales and Complex Ranking

This section lists the 10 most recent sales in the complex, allowing you to gauge current market prices and trends. The Sectional Scheme ranking tables compare your subject complex against others by average price, providing clarity on how it stands in relation to properties within the municipality, province, and nationwide. (Note: Duets are not included.)

Ownership Stability: Period of Ownership

The Period of Ownership illustration provides insights into ownership stability within the suburb. It visualizes how long properties typically remain with the same owner, signaling the stability and attractiveness of the suburb.

Demographic Insights

  • Age of Owners: Visualises the distribution of stable owners, recent buyers, and recent sellers, helping you understand the market dynamics.
