Property management software in Johannesburg
built for Gauteng's schemes and rentals.
Johannesburg is South Africa's busiest property hub — dense with sectional title complexes, managing agents and a vast rental market, ringed by estate HOAs in the north and freehold stock across the East and West Rand. Regalis runs levies, rent, trust accounting, arrears and compliance for all of it on one platform. Served remotely as part of our national coverage — no local branch needed.

A Gauteng book is rarely just rentals — or just schemes.
Johannesburg sits at the centre of Gauteng, the country's economic engine and its densest property market. Few South African cities pack in as many sectional title complexes and managing agents per square kilometre, and the rental market — from inner-city apartment blocks to suburban townhouse clusters — is among the largest anywhere in the country. Most operators here carry a mixed book, and that mix is exactly what generic software struggles with.
The north tells one story: gated estates, golf and lifestyle developments, and high-rise sectional title around Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and the Waterfall corridor, most of them run as Homeowners Associations or body corporates with trustees, levies and conduct rules. The East and West Rand tell another: established freehold suburbs and a deep, steady rental market where landlords and smaller agencies manage tenants, leases and arrears day to day.
Regalis is built so one firm can run that whole spread on a single instance. A scheme is simply a property with its scheme attributes switched on — the same units, owners, invoices, statements and trust accounts as the rental side. A Johannesburg managing agent stops paying for, and reconciling between, two separate software stacks, and the principal finally gets one firm-wide view across body corporates, HOAs and rentals.
The tools a Gauteng managing agent actually uses.
The platform is national, but these are the parts that matter most to the kind of mixed scheme-and-rental book Johannesburg operators carry.
Sectional title levy roll
Per-unit levies from each section's participation quota and the active budget — built for the high density of sectional title complexes across Greater Johannesburg. Special levies and reserve-fund top-ups flow through the same monthly run.
Estate HOA management
Estate levies, conduct-rule offences, transfers and director or trustee approvals for the gated developments around Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and the Waterfall corridor.
Rental portfolios
Leases, tenants, rent runs and arrears for the large East and West Rand rental market — landlords and agencies manage the whole tenancy lifecycle on the same record as their schemes.
SA trust ledger
Owner and scheme funds tracked separately, reconciliations against the major South African banks, and a clear audit trail — structured around South African trust-account practice.
Arrears tracking
Levy and rent arrears by band on one command centre, with an arrears map so a Gauteng principal can see where money is owed across the whole book at a glance.
CSOS-aware compliance
Each scheme captures its CSOS registration, levy obligations and dispute references. The compliance planner is designed to support your obligations — alongside your auditor and attorney, not in place of them.
Transfers & clearances
The transfers flow manages ownership changes with the conveyancer, sale details and transfer date, and produces the levy clearance certificate once outstanding amounts are settled.
Trustee approvals
N-of-M trustee or director sign-off on supplier payments and governance actions, with a full decision trail — who approved, who declined, and the supporting documents.
One firm-wide view
The principal opens any manager's profile and sees that person's combined book — body corporates, HOAs and rentals across Joburg — without switching products.
National software, delivered to Johannesburg over the web.
Regalis serves Johannesburg as part of national South African coverage. The platform is cloud-based and delivered remotely — there is no physical Johannesburg branch, and the way the product works means none is required. Onboarding, training, support and the entire operating record run online.
That suits the geography of a Gauteng book well. A managing agent might hold body corporates in Sandton, an HOA in Midrand and a rental cluster on the West Rand, all in one portfolio. Because everything lives in one shared online record, distance between properties — or distance to a software vendor — stops being an operational problem. The same command centre, levy run and approvals queue serves every property regardless of where it sits.

Do you serve Johannesburg?+
Yes. Regalis is South African property management software used by managing agents, body corporates, HOAs and landlords across Johannesburg and the wider Gauteng region. The platform is delivered remotely over the web — there is no local branch to visit, and none is needed. Onboarding, support and the full operating record run online, so a Sandton managing agent and a West Rand landlord use exactly the same system.
Is it suited to the high density of sectional title complexes in Johannesburg?+
It is built for it. Greater Johannesburg has one of the largest concentrations of sectional title complexes and managing agents in the country. Regalis runs the levy roll per unit from each section's participation quota and the active budget, tracks arrears by band, and segregates the reserve fund in the chart of accounts to support STSMA reserve-fund reporting at audit time.
Can it handle estate HOAs in the northern suburbs?+
Yes. The gated estates and golf/lifestyle developments around Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and the Waterfall corridor typically run as Homeowners Associations. Regalis manages estate levies, conduct-rule offences, transfers with levy clearance, and trustee or director approvals — alongside the body-corporate and rental books on the same instance.
We manage both rentals and schemes across Joburg — can one system do both?+
That is the core of the platform. A Johannesburg managing-agent firm with a rental book on the East and West Rand and a scheme book of body corporates and HOAs in the north runs everything on one Regalis instance — one finance hub, one trust ledger, one team directory. The principal opens any manager's profile and sees their combined book, rentals and schemes together.
How does it handle trust accounting and compliance for Gauteng operators?+
The trust ledger is structured around South African trust-account practice — owner and scheme funds tracked separately, reconciliations against the major SA banks, and a clear audit trail. CSOS registration numbers, levy obligations and dispute references are captured per scheme. The platform is designed to support your compliance obligations; it does not replace your auditor or attorney.
Is there a Johannesburg office, or is it cloud-based?+
Regalis is cloud-based and served remotely across South Africa. We are honest about this — there is no physical Johannesburg office. Everything that matters runs online: the command centre, the arrears map, the levy and rent runs, the approvals queue and the document store. Distance to a branch is irrelevant when the whole operation lives in one shared record.
