Buying a home is not just about pretty pictures

The Ridge Times has had a relationship with you for decades. We know the Secunda, Bethal, Trichardt, Evander, Kinross and eMbalenhle area better than anyone. Let us guide you in making the best property decision for you and your family.

When searching for a new home there are certain factors that will impact your decision.

The decision to buy property must not be taken lightly and must most certainly not be based on a few photoshopped images.

Where you choose to live is affected by factors such as:

Schools: We give you schools information daily. Which schools are excelling, what sports days are happening, and what you can look forward to at a school in your area.
Shops: Shopping plays an important part in every community. Luckily, we have you covered. We have relationships with all local retailers in your area, and we know how important local business is to you and your community.
Safety: How safe are you in your area? You can always check out the crime section of the Ridge Times to get an up-to-the minute account of any safety concerns in your community.
Medical facilities: Your health and access to healthcare is one of the most important parts of deciding where to live. Good or bad, we inform you about healthcare in your area.
Leisure: Thinking of relaxing and taking some time off your work week? Looking for fun activities to do with your family on the weekend? All you have to do is pick up your copy of the Ridge Times, or check out our online entertainment section.
Parks: Common spaces for people to relax, walk their dogs, and enjoy the African sun are an important part of any community. Our coverage of Secunda, Bethal, Trichardt, Kinross, eMbalenhle and Evander ensures you know which areas are safe, clean, and a pleasure to use.
Public transport: Lying at the heart of our communities is the public transport infrastructure. The Ridge Times is always on top of any developments, safety concerns, and improvements made to public transport in your area.

Branches and agents are positioned locally and have their own property pages for easy reference to buyers or sellers.
For years agents in their local communities have ensured that through local media they keep themselves visible. With our hyperlocal websites, agents can now advertise in their local community newspaper, as well as on our hyperlocal property platform.
A unique enquiry form which rates the quality on a 5-star rating system, allows agents to identify hot prospects.
The enquiry form also allows users to indicate whether they have a property to sell or let, and the agent is immediately notified when details are uploaded.
Property notifications emailed directly to the user if they cannot find a particular type of property at the time.
