Is it cheaper to build or buy a house in South Africa?
The short answer is that it is cheaper to buy an existing house in South Africa but every year less so.
My house is m2 on a sloping surface facing north with a drop of about 13m to the lower Street. The garage is on the top floor and there are also bedrooms three, 3. The lower floor is the living area with kitchen. Then the steps take you down to the entertainment area. The house appears as three storey due to sloping of the land but it is actually a tow storey as per municipal zoning. Please find attached approved house plans.

Currently we have a 2 bedroom home and a small bathroom. All of the rooms are too small.
