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.
We need help renovating our home we are purchasing. Its a 3 bedroom townhouse in a complex. We anticipate geting most of the rooms carpeted, sitting room as well as the stairs. The bathrooms (2) also need a retouch, and in the balconies we would like to close off with clear glass slide doors, as well as maybe add in a small room/storage area on the ground level on the garden side.
In the process of purchasing a fixer- upper and would like an idea of remodelling costs. Looking at a 3 bedroom flat in need of a strip out of old carpentry and flooring, paint and fit out including new kitchen, bathroom, toilet, wardrobes and refurbish of flooring. Looking to do this on a budget and keep costs down. Hoping for a functional and clean finish.

I want to extend my master bedroom by about 2.5m. Width of the bedroom is 4.0m. Roof height about 2.5m In the attachment: The dark grey walls are the existing bedroom. The cavity currently contains a window and a door, which will have to be removed and are not suited to reuse. The pink walls are for the extension. The thin pink line is a window. The slatted pink is the roof. The roof is flat and just an extension of the patio roof. No cupboards. Floor probably tiles.
We have a house at the Vaalriver in Orkney Klerskdorp. We have a toilet on the one side then we have a wall that use to be a build in cupboard and on the other side of the wall we have the basin and shower. We would like to brake the wall down to have a open plan bathroom. Then we need to purchase a new toilet, install a corner bath and upgrade the shower a little bit with a new shower door and new taps, it only has a shower curtain at the moment.

We are still in the planning phase to build on an erf we bought in Murdock Valley in Simon's Town. It is on quite a steep slope in Rocklands. To aid our planning we are looking for a rough estimate cost per square meter for average & luxury home prices (double storey up the slopes) - excluding the cost of excavations and retaining walls required. There is a road adjacent to the plot so should be easily accessible. We are just looking for a rough estimate and a potential price range to work with for our planning.
