Residential letting
Why choose Pam Golding Properties Letting and Rentals?
We offer our clients access to some of the most exclusive residential real estate in South Africa, as well as short and long-term rentals across the spectrum, including holiday accommodation and corporate relocation.
Landlords may choose us simply to procure tenants, or to manage and administer the property. We ensure compliance with all legal requirements affecting both landlords' and tenants' rights, including the Rental Housing Act, Financial Intelligence Centre Act and Consumer Protection Act.
Rental properties are treated to our bespoke services, which include extensive marketing through our office network, website and the media.
We place enormous importance on what is often unseen: building long-term relationships with both landlords and tenants in order to make letting and renting mutually rewarding. For us, successfully managing rental property means that both the landlord and tenant are happy. It means that our professionalism is implicit, that we exercise our emotional intelligence and go beyond what's expected.
“We believe that our clients should choose homes they fall in love with. We approach residential letting in a way that sets us apart.” Dr. Andrew Golding, Chief Executive
