R650,000 | 2 Bedroom Apartment Sold in Pinetown Central

On the ninth floor of Amersham Heights, a well-managed and beautifully maintained building in Pinetown Central, this 74-square-metre apartment offers far-reaching views and an abundance of natural light. More than just a home, it is an opportunity for first-time buyers to make their mark and for investors to secure a solid, income-generating asset.

The current owners know this building well. It was here that they bought their very first home together before moving on to this unit as their first property investment. Speaking now from overseas, they reflect on the significance of the space. “We bought our first home together in this building, and this unit became our very first investment. It gave us peace of mind, great rental demand, and the confidence to start building a future. For any first-time buyer, it is the perfect way to begin.”

The apartment is simple in layout: a lounge and dining area lined with feature wood panelling, a separate U-shaped kitchen, and two generous bedrooms with built-in cupboards. It could be left as is or refreshed with a coat of paint and a few small updates. Either way, it offers a foundation for easy living, the kind of space young professionals can shape into their own.

Life at Amersham Heights extends beyond the front door. Large lawns, swimming pools, a jungle gym and picnic areas create a communal rhythm, while strict access control and perimeter security offer peace of mind. Just steps away are Knowles Spar and John Wesley Primary School, with the M13 and M7 connecting residents to Durban and beyond.

For investors, the appeal is pragmatic as much as it is aesthetic. Listed at R650,000 with no transfer duty, the apartment earns R7,000 per month in rental income. Levies and rates remain low, and the current tenants are happy to stay.

As listing agent Scott Allnatt of Shelley Residential observes, “Amersham Heights is a secure and well-managed building in the heart of Pinetown. For investors, this is a low-risk, high-demand rental opportunity. For first-time buyers, it is an affordable, central home that will only grow in value.”

It is a story that began with a couple’s first home and their first investment. For someone else, it may be the beginning of the same journey.
