Property Marketplace

Three Ways to Participate in SA Property

From standard sales to stokvel buying and distressed rescue — the platform connects all parties.

Standard For Sale

List any residential, commercial, land, or agricultural property. Buyers browse and register interest — you connect directly.


Types Residential, Commercial, Land, Agricultural
Tokenizable Yes — fractional shares
Distressed Property Rescue Urgent

Homeowners facing bank auction list their property with the outstanding mortgage, arrears, and auction date. Investors step in to rescue — platform connects them.

Properties are sorted by auction date — most urgent first. Red badge = auction in ≤3 days.
Collective Buy (Stokvel)

An organiser lists a property with a target amount and minimum contribution. Members pledge their share. Progress bar tracks funding. When the target is hit, all members proceed with a conveyancer.

Example: R1.7M pledged of R2.5M target — 8 members
Fractional Tokenization

Any Asset, Any Amount

Turn a R5M business or R2M property into 10 000 tokens at R500 each. Investors buy as few or as many as they want via EFT — the owner confirms each payment and allocates tokens. The data model is already designed for a future blockchain bridge (ERC-20 compatible).

1
Owner sets up tokenization Define total tokens and price per token in ZAR
2
Investor pledges & pays via EFT Upload EFT proof — payment goes directly to owner's bank
3
Owner confirms & tokens are allocated Platform tracks ownership; no money touches us (FSCA compliant)

Common questions

Don't see your question? WhatsApp us — we reply within one business day.

Does PretoriaRegister ever hold my money?

No — PretoriaRegister is a connector only. All payments (EFT, investment pledges) happen directly bank-to-bank between the parties. This keeps the platform outside FSCA/FAIS licensing.

How much does it cost to list a company or property?

Browsing and listing on the Business and Property Marketplaces is free. Company secretaries pay a monthly subscription (R299–R1,199, see above) to manage certificates for multiple client companies.

How does tokenization work?

A business or property owner can optionally tokenize their asset into fractional shares (ZAR-priced); investors pledge via EFT and upload proof of payment for the owner to confirm.

What is a Distressed Rescue or Collective Buy listing?

Distressed Rescue helps homeowners facing mortgage auction connect with investors before the auction date. Collective Buy is a stokvel-style pool where a group of investors jointly fund a purchase.
