SPARROW VIEW

SPARROW VIEW is a completed residential development in Centurion, South Africa, built by Porta Property Development JHB (Pty) Ltd. According to the developer, it has 49 apartments within a secure estate. Each unit has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage and a private garden, with a floor area of about 133 square metres (133.87 m² on the developer's page).

The developer's page lists the scheme as completed and as not for sale. Availability, sale or rental terms must be asked directly to Porta Property Development, whose contact details appear on the project page.

What each apartment includes

• Two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
• A double garage for each unit.
• A private garden.
• About 133 m² per apartment (133.87 m² on the developer's page).
• A closed estate presented by the developer as secure.

These features (number of units, unit type, floor areas, garage and garden) come from the developer's Sparrow View page, consulted on 7 November 2026 and cited in the sources of this page.

Where the scheme is

The developer places Sparrow View at Stand 3651, Rooihuiskraal X 28, Centurion, in Gauteng province, and gives GPS coordinates for that stand. The street name in the Imonga record is Raslouw Lane, Centurion; the developer's page does not repeat that street name and refers to the stand number instead. For a visit or a formal step, the developer's address is the reference and should be confirmed with them.

Who builds it

The developer is Porta Property Development JHB (Pty) Ltd, a property development company based in Centurion. The Porta homepage states that the company is registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the MBA Gauteng (Master Builders Association) as an approved contractor and is in good standing with both. The company's own entry in the NHBRC register is not published on its site: that is checked with the NHBRC, which keeps the list of registered home builders.

What is not published

Several points a buyer would need are absent from both the Imonga record and the developer's page at the time of writing:

• Price: the developer's page says "Not For Sale" and gives no price. No price is shown here. A price must be requested from Porta Property Development or from an agent mandated on the scheme.
• Monthly levies, municipal rates and transfer costs: not published. Ask the developer, then the body corporate once the scheme is registered.
• Delivery date: the scheme is described as completed, with no per-unit handover date. Ask the developer.
• Floor plan, orientation, floor level, view: not published on the page consulted. Ask the developer.
• Conduct rules (pets, letting, use): not published. Ask the developer or the body corporate.

What South African law covers

The scheme is in South Africa, so South African rules apply, not those of the UEMOA zone. Two statutes frame this kind of development.

The Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act 95 of 1998 regulates the building of new homes and establishes the NHBRC. It provides in particular for the registration of home builders and the enrolment of new homes with the Council. The text is published on the South African government site, which notes that it is to be replaced by the Housing Consumer Protection Act 25 of 2024; the regime in force at the time of the transaction should therefore be checked.

The Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act 8 of 2011, in force since 7 October 2016, governs how sectional title schemes are managed: the body corporate, management rules and owners' contributions to common expenses. A unit in a secure estate usually falls under this framework, but the developer's page does not state whether Sparrow View is a sectional title scheme or another form of title: this should be asked in writing before any commitment.

For levy calculations, levy payments and management or neighbour disputes, the first contact is the body corporate and, if a dispute persists, the Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS), the dispute body set up for community schemes. For any specific legal question on this scheme, it is advisable to consult a South African notary or attorney, in particular a conveyancer for the transfer of ownership.

What to check before committing

1. Ask the developer for the NHBRC enrolment certificate for the specific unit.
2. Ask for the price in writing, the estimated monthly levies and the transfer costs, on a written quotation or offer.
3. Ask for the form of title (sectional title or other) and the conduct rules.
4. Have the offer and the deed reviewed by a South African conveyancer, the attorney who handles the transfer of ownership.
5. Inspect the unit and, where relevant, have a snag list drawn up at handover.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sparrow View for sale?
The developer's page, consulted on 7 November 2026, says "Not For Sale" and gives no price. The scheme is listed as completed. To find out whether any unit is available to buy or rent, contact Porta Property Development JHB (Pty) Ltd using the details on the project page.

How many apartments are there and how big are they?
According to the information available, 49 units, according to the developer. Each apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage and a private garden, with about 133 m² (133.87 m² on the developer's page). No other unit type is published.

Where exactly is Sparrow View?
The developer places the scheme at Stand 3651, Rooihuiskraal X 28, Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa, and provides GPS coordinates. The street name "Raslouw Lane" appears in the Imonga record but not on the developer's page: confirm it with the developer before travelling.

What costs come on top of the price?
Monthly levies, municipal rates and transfer costs are not published. They depend on the unit and on how the scheme is managed. Ask the developer for a written summary of monthly levies and acquisition costs, and check with the body corporate once the scheme is registered.

Is the developer registered with the NHBRC?
The Porta homepage states that the company is registered with the NHBRC and the MBA Gauteng and in good standing with both. The company's own registration and the enrolment of each home are checked directly with the NHBRC, which keeps the register of home builders and issues enrolment certificates per home.

What recourse is there for building defects or scheme disputes?
Building defects fall under the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act and NHBRC cover, whose terms must be confirmed case by case. For management, levy or neighbour disputes in a community scheme, the route goes through the body corporate and then the Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS). For any specific legal question, consult a South African notary or attorney.
