Pretoria’s Next Hot Property?

Written by TeamEasy | Feb 5, 2025 8:00:00 AM

When it comes to hot investment spots, Pretoria doesn’t always get the same hype as Johannesburg or Cape Town. But investors who know what they’re doing? They’re paying attention to Lynnwood, and The Dawn might just be a prime example of why.

Here’s why this new development is getting investor buzz.

Is This a Buy-and-Hold or a Flip?
Property investing has two approaches: flipping for short-term gains or holding for long-term appreciation.

Lynnwood is an established, high-demand area, so this one leans toward the second option. If history is any indicator, property values here keep climbing and a well-located investment like this has the potential to grow in value.

Fewer Vacant Months
The number one thing investors hate? Properties that sit empty. Fortunately, The Dawn is in one of Pretoria’s most rental-friendly areas.

Who’s looking for rentals here?
✅ Students (The University of Pretoria is 10 minutes away)
✅ Young professionals (Close to business hubs and easy access to major roads)
✅ Diplomats & academics (Lynnwood is near embassies & top schools)

It’s Future-Proofed with Modern Features
Not all apartments age well, but The Dawn is designed to stay in-demand for years to come. It’s got:

Sleek, modern designs
Fibre internet, because Wi-Fi is non-negotiable
24/7 security

Backup Power: Because Load Shedding is Still a Thing
Let’s face it, although they've taken a hiatus of late power cuts are likely something we'll have to live with for the foreseeable future. The Dawn comes with backup power, which means tenants can keep working, studying, and streaming even when Eskom does its thing.

In 2025, properties with backup energy solutions aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re must-haves for attracting long-term tenants.

Capital Growth and Rental Yield
Buying in a sought-after area means your property is more likely to grow in value over time

10.2% Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
7.84% net rental yield
10% discount for EasyProperties investors = buy-in below market value

Verdict: Worth It?
The answer is never a simple yes or no. Well, one thing we can say is that if Pretoria wasn’t on your radar before, now might be a good time to take another look. 👀

Please note that the offer ends on February 28, 2025.
