Stands at Newinbosch
Your stand. Your story.
Newinbosch offers a select number of fully serviced stands. This is your canvas to design and build exactly the home you have in mind in Phase 3, which is building plan submission ready.
What you build is up to you — within the Newinbosch architectural and building guidelines, designed not to limit your vision, but to ensure your home belongs to the neighbourhood it joins.
Think of it as creative freedom with good neighbours.
Why a stand
Three reasons to build your own
01
Your design, your timeline
Unlike purchasing a home in one of our phases, buying a stand means you build when you're ready. Your architect. Your pace. Your chapter, started on your terms. You have up to 12 months from transfer to break ground, and 36 months total to completion.
02
Design within a world-class framework
The Newinbosch architectural and building guidelines govern every home in the neighbourhood equally. Working within them is a conversation with Africa's first 6-Star Green Star Sustainable Precinct v1.1. All stand homes must meet EDGE Advanced compliance standards in their design and build.
03
Serviced and ready to build
Water, sewer and electricity connections are already in the ground. Your home will connect to the Newinbosch Energy microgrid — as far as we know, South Africa's first neighbourhood-scale renewable energy system. Solar PV panels will be required on all stand homes as part of the shared microgrid.

THE NUMBERS
The INvestment
Everything you need to understand the investment — from reservation to handover. Stand prices and sizes are available from our sales team and the Sales Map on our website.
At Newinbosch, every phase has launched at a higher price than the last. A stand offers a unique opportunity to enter the neighbourhood at land value.
Rental projections and investment advice available from Staylonger, our in-house sales and rentals agency.
PURCHASE
Ongoing — vacant stand
Building costs — once construction starts
* Bank incentives apply to turnkey EDGE-certified homes purchased directly from the developer. All stand homes are required to achieve EDGE Advanced certification — once certified, you may be eligible for similar incentives through your own financier. Confirm with your bank.
Start within the window
Every home starts with a first step. From the day your stand transfers, you have 12 months to get plans approved, secure your SHOC and break ground. Miss that mark and a penalty levy kicks in — climbing year on year until you begin.
| Years since first transfer | Compliance | What you pay | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | On track | Normal levy only | In the clear |
| Year 2 | 1 year late | Normal levy + 50% of base levy | Penalty begins |
| Year 3 | 2 years late | Normal levy + 100% of base levy | Escalating |
| Year 4+ | 3+ years late | Normal levy + 300% of base levy | Significant penalty |
COMPLETE within the window
We build neighbourhoods for the long term, and we know life doesn't always follow a straight line. You have 36 months from transfer to complete your home. Penalty levies apply progressively after year three.
| Years Since First Transfer | Compliance | What You Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | On track | Normal levy only |
| Year 2 | On track | Normal levy only |
| Year 3 | On track | Normal levy only |
| Year 4 | 1 year late | Normal levy + 50% of base levy |
| Year 5 | 2 years late | Normal levy + 100% of base levy |
| Year 6+ | 3+ years late | Normal levy + 300% of base levy |
Stands can be resold at any time. If you sell, the new owner takes on the timeline from the original first transfer date — the 36-month clock does not reset. In cases of genuine financial distress (a Distressed Sale), penalty levies may be waived.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good questions, plain answers
Every question below is answered somewhere in the detail above. But if you'd rather cut straight to it — this is for you.
Can I design my own home completely from scratch?
Yes — within the Newinbosch architectural and building guidelines. These govern rooflines, materials, height, coverage and the character of the neighbourhood. They apply equally to every home on the estate. Think of the guidelines as the brief, not the limitation. The full document is available to download.
Do I have to use a specific builder?
No. You can appoint any registered contractor you choose. They must register with the MHOA before starting work, including NHBRC enrolment, Contractor's All Risk Insurance and biometric enrolment for all workers on site.
How does plan approval work?
Your architect submits plans to the MHOA's Architectural Review Committee (ARC) first. Once stamped and endorsed, plans go to the municipality for approval. Both sign-offs are required before a Site Handover Certificate (SHOC) is issued and work can begin. Municipal turnaround times depend on submission quality and cannot be guaranteed.
How long do I have to build?
36 months from the date of first transfer to complete your home. Construction must start within 12 months of transfer. Penalty levies apply progressively from year four if not completed in time.
What are the construction hours?
Monday to Friday: 07:00–18:00. Saturday: 08:00–12:00 with prior consent, no noise or dust work. No Sundays, public holidays or work during the December builders' break (15 December to the 2nd Monday of January).
Do I need a geotechnical report?
Yes — you'll appoint your own Geotechnical engineer as part of your building plan submission. Your architect must also include a drainage and stormwater plan for ARC review.
What levies do I pay on a vacant stand?
Normal HOA levies from date of transfer — the same rate as freehold homes — plus municipal rates at the vacant land rate. Once construction starts, an additional monthly building control levy applies.
Do the bank cashback incentives apply to stand purchases?
Not directly — these apply to turnkey EDGE-certified homes from the developer. All stand homes are required to achieve EDGE Advanced certification, so once your home is certified you may be eligible for similar incentives through your own financier. Confirm with your bank.
What happens with the solar panels?
Your home will be part of something bigger. All stand homes connect to the Newinbosch Energy microgrid — a collaboration between Broadreach and Lesedi, operating independently of the developer. They retain ownership of the panels and handle maintenance. Should you wish to install additional panels, written consent is required.
What if I need to sell my stand before building?
You can sell at any time. The 36-month clock runs from the original first transfer date and does not reset on resale — the new buyer inherits your timeline and any penalties accrued. In cases of genuine financial distress, the MHOA may waive penalties and provide a fresh window.
What does EDGE Advanced compliance mean for my build?
Newinbosch is Africa's first 6-Star Green Star Sustainable Precinct and every home built here, including yours, is part of that story. EDGE Advanced compliance reflects the global standard for homes that are meaningfully more energy, water and materials efficient than the norm. It's not a box to tick, it's what makes Newinbosch, Newinbosch. Your architect will be guided on how to meet the requirements.
Will my stand be pegged when I take transfer?
Boundary pegging is the responsibility of the homeowner and contractor via a registered land surveyor. Your plan submission must include a contour base plan with 500mm contours and all building lines clearly marked.
