About this search

Discover Property Ownership Across South Africa

Discover property ownership and legal registrations linked to any individual across South Africa's Deeds Offices. Our Instant Person Search provides immediate access to valuable property intelligence, helping you make informed decisions for due diligence, estate planning, or personal verification.

What You'll Receive

Each search delivers a comprehensive summary including:

  • Properties owned – A list of all properties currently registered in the person's name at the selected Deeds Office
  • Marriage contracts – Any antenuptial contracts or marriage-related registrations on record
  • Registration details – Deed numbers and registration dates for each entry

How It Works

Our Person Search operates on a per Deeds Office basis. South Africa has multiple regional Deeds Offices, and property records are held at the office where the property is situated. Simply select your preferred Deeds Office and submit your search to receive results for that registry.

ID Number Requirement

In compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), we require the individual's full 13-digit South African ID number to process your search. This ensures accurate identification and protects personal information by preventing unauthorised or speculative searches.

Who Uses This Service

  • Property buyers conducting background checks
  • Legal professionals verifying client assets
  • Estate agents confirming ownership
  • Debt collectors and litigation attorneys
  • Individuals checking their own property footprint
