Grouped by the first place the bidding platform publishes for each auction, read from its title, its location, its lot titles (before the location when there are several lots), its description, then its venue. Our own office, given as a venue, does not count: it is where a sale is run from. 4 ended insolvency sales in this area are counted above but not listed on area pages. Every auction completed on the platform is in our full auction archive.

Selling or buying in Johannesburg

The offices a sale here passes through.

A property sale on auction needs a rates clearance from the municipality before the deeds registry will register the transfer. Checked against each body's own published information on 8 October 2026.

Rates clearance

Rates clearance in Johannesburg

No transfer is registered without a clearance certificate from the municipality the property is in, certifying that everything due on it for the two years before the application has been paid (Municipal Systems Act, section 118). The conveyancer asks the municipality for the clearance figures; a seller whose account is up to date makes that faster.

For property in Johannesburg the conveyancer applies to the City of Johannesburg's Clearance Unit.

Transfers and estates

Gauteng's deeds registries and Master's offices

Gauteng has two deeds registries, in Pretoria and Johannesburg, and two Master's offices, in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Which one a sale goes through depends on where the property is, or where the deceased lived.

Their names, addresses and the rules, each with its source, are on our Gauteng auctions page.
