Common Questions

Questions Before You Call

Still not sure where to start?

Call 010 442 5522, WhatsApp 079 375 2704, or send the form above.

Send an enquiry
Is the first consultation really free?

Yes, and without obligation. We look at the property and tell you what its zoning allows, what an application would involve and whether it is worth making. Nothing is billed until you accept a written quotation setting out scope, fees and programme. If what you have in mind is unlikely to be approved, we would rather say so in that first conversation than bill you to find out.

How quickly will you reply?

Within one working day. If the matter is urgent, such as a notice with days left on it or a hearing already set, call +27 10 442 5522, or say so in the first line of your message so that it is read first. Messages that arrive over a weekend or on a public holiday are answered on the next working day.

Can I send documents on WhatsApp?

Yes. A photograph of a notice or a decision is often the fastest way to show us what we need to see, and +27 79 375 2704 is read during office hours. For larger sets, such as title deeds, plans or bundles of objections, email them to planning@glensburg.co.za, so that everything stays in one place.

Do you work outside Gauteng?

Yes. We act in Cape Town, eThekwini and Mahikeng, as well as in five Gauteng municipalities: Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, Midvaal and Mogale City. Each has its own planning by-law and land use scheme, and we work to those, not to Gauteng practice. Where We Work sets out what is in force in each.

Will you work with my architect or attorney?

Yes, routinely. Most matters involve at least one: an architect drawing what the rights allow, or a conveyancer registering what an approval creates. It usually moves faster when we deal with them directly, so tell us who they are in your message and we will copy them in from the start.
