There is a maintainance Analgesic named Martin at seef Polokwane. I have reported many problems at the property they are managing. But he always ignores them and prioritize the owner in all cases. Everytimes i end up fixing the problem and invoice them then they say owner gave no permission. Currently my cars get stuck on driveway everytime it rains but does not care at all. I had no electricity for a whole week and paid people to fix but said the owner say the bill is excessive and not willing to pay a cent. Even the entire management team supports him on such cases by sending evacuation notices if you tell ask them to resolve maintainance issued. They treat tenants as if they are burgers. This is a very upsetting company which cares nothing about maintainance and customer service.

So a person who rents a property through seeff please be aware their agent will invade your privacy by taking pictures of your belongings without the consent of the current tenant and then send it to a another party. So it seems that the popi doesn't apply to them, and a families privacy doesn't mean anything, a email is that is send to the third party by seeff agent then wants to dictate the tenant how to life and what to do and what needs to take priority, and what your allowed to have on your stoep. Pets allowed on the premises was the reason for choosing the house. But the also has the audacity to include in the email that the fact your that your son that has a hamster is a problem. And then your busy with mawing the lawn and your lawn mower motor decides to call it day and still you organize for a gardener to come fix the situation but its not with in agents time frame. The mannerism of the agent will not talk to you or give you a chance to explain your life circumstances. In short a a family that wants to rent through seeff please beware that your family's privacy is at risk. You cannot have a normal family house because when a agent comes to show possible new tenants the house it will be an inspection and they will take photos and dictate what you may do and not do.

******** company. I sold my property in Cape Town. The Seeff agent colluded with the buyer behind my back to take possession of my property without paying occupational rent. The agent asked me I was willing to allow the new owners take possession of the property after signing the contract. I agreed to this term because I was planning to relocate for work soon. After signing the contract Seeff forced me to handover the keys and to vacate my own property even though I was still paying the property mortgage, property insurance and rates and taxes and the property had not been transferred to the new owners. Seeff head office phoned me and told me according to the contact I signed I was legally obligated to hand over the property immediately without being compensated. Awful experience. Please be aware. This is ******** behavior and I will be seeking legal counsel.

When looking for preperty, if you don’t suite the home owner or agents “preference” all communication is ignored. The company doesn’t have the courtesy of responding to emails or numbers they’ve listed on their adverts.

I'm so disappointed by the treatment I received from Seeff. I previously rented a property at Eagle Canyon Golf Estate, Honeydew Johannesburg through Seeff Property Group. The lease period was from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025. I lived in the apartment with my 10-year-old son, and my older son visited occasionally. The property was a two-bedroom apartment with a large balcony, which we converted into a third room. The monthly rental was R15,500 excluding utilities. I paid a total deposit of R17,000 to Seeff, made up of R15,500 for the rental deposit and R2,500 for utilities. I did not receive a pre-inspection checklist with my lease agreement. My utilities averaged approximately R3,500 per month. All rent and utility payments were made on time throughout the lease period. On the last day of my lease, I hired a professional cleaner and a company to repaint and do necessary touch-ups, including repainting dirty walls. I paid R4,500 for this work from my own pocket. During the post-inspection, I was informed that the property was not cleaned to the required standard and that one floor tile in one bedroom was scratched. I was advised that my deposit would be used to replace the entire bedroom flooring. I disputed this, as the tile was already in that condition when I moved in, and it is unreasonable to replace the entire floor for a single tile. Throughout December, my follow-ups regarding my deposit went unanswered until I escalated the matter to a senior at Seeff. On 13 January, I received a November utilities bill of R7,500, which is significantly higher than my normal usage. I also received an invoice of R9 224,00 for repairs, which I believe is incorrect and inflated. The utilities charges appear excessive. In addition, the painting invoice charges for four walls and ceilings (R5,439.00), whereas only two walls were supposed to be painted. The ceilings were never part of the agreement and are very high for anyone to make them dirty; one would require a ladder even to change a light bulb. I was unable to replace a bathroom bulb myself for this reason. Furthermore, the quotation does not mention flooring repairs at all. It appears that the landlord continues to find reasons to deduct from my deposit rather than refund it. This feels unreasonable and unfair. According to my agreement with the Seeff agent, she was to arrange a cleaner to wash the windows and stove, replace a light bulb I provided, and charge me only for painting two walls. I do not understand why I am now being charged for four walls (R5 439,00), ceilings that were not dirty, and inflated labour costs (2700). I received an email on 28 January 2026 advising that the landlord is entitled to charge any amount he deems fit and to appoint a contractor of his own choice. I was further informed that, from the R17,500 deposit I paid, I would only be refunded R887.

I had an excellent experience working with Adam Langley from Seeff. He was professional, attentive, and always willing to assist with any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. What stood out the most was how fair and transparent he was in every interaction—he truly ensured that everything was handled honestly and smoothly. I appreciate the great service and highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy agent.
