AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, Revo Property generates strongly polarised feedback across its rental and property development services. Satisfied customers consistently mention a user friendly application process, clear communication, and accommodating staff who make first time renting straightforward. However, a recurring theme among dissatisfied customers centres on the application credit check fee being viewed as excessive, disputes over deposit deductions at lease end, unresolved snags on off-plan developments, and inconsistent communication once payments have been made. Trust and transparency around fees and refunds emerge as central pain points.

La'Mare Development by Revo Property
Purchased an off-plan unit in the La’Mare development. Received conflicting updates regarding construction and development progress. Multiple requests for confirmation of key information (including building plan approval date) have not been answered. Currently no visible activity on site. Matter has been escalated.

Revo is a ****
Revo is taking advantage of people by charging R1,000 for a credit check, which is highly unusual and excessive. This fee is one of their requirements when applying for a rental property. I app**** for a fully furnished flat in Bellville (New Boston) in early January 2026, with a move-in date of 01 February 2026. As the move-in date approached, I contacted them several times via phone and email for feedback. They eventually responded and informed me that another applicant had qualified for the property. I accepted this outcome, as I understand that not every applicant will necessarily meet the financial or other qualifying criteria. However, as of today, 24/02/2026, the apartment is still being advertised as available, now with a move-in date of 01/04/2026. This raises serious concerns. This company needs to be investigated, as their practices appear *********. Charging such a high fee for a credit check and continuing to advertise the property after claiming it has been allocated is questionable and potentially exploitative.

Revo Property is an absolute ****.
Revo property is an absolute ****. I called Rachelle who is in their rental department as I am looking for a place to stay. I have a bursary with Investec Bank which is a full cost bursary that covers payments for my rental. On their application form for students who have a bursary, they do not mention anything about Surety or account payer that they need to represent you as the occupant of the property in case your bursary defaults. Now Rachelle told me that I can provide my dad's ID who will be my surety and his 6 months bank statements in the event that he does not have payslips. Now after I have paid an application fee of R1095, first of all they do not process my application until I call them about a day later, this lady called Alina starts telling me that she needs Invoices and letters from accountants that I need to state my dad's income before they can process my application. All of this is not mentioned before a person applies, but is now mentioned after they have received the application fee which is non-refundable. Revo property is an absolute **** of a company and no student should be using it. They are preying on students because students are not brave enough to challenge this. This is highly ********* and they should be called out for it. You cannot be requesting further documents that you never mentioned before an application fee was paid because many people who could not provide the documents you require would have withdrawn from applying. I am extremely angry about this and I would not recommend them to anyone.

I loved how accommodating they are, I was stressed about the process as this is my first time renting in Cape Town
I loved how accommodating they are, I was stressed about the process as this is my first time renting in Cape Town. I haven’t encountered any issues and the process is straight forward.

Revo Bent on Unreasonably Withholding Tenant Deposit - Be Warned
Revo Properties in Cape Town are fleecing people of their money. They are playing games with people’s deposit money and it turns out that they are withholding deposit moneys from many unsuspecting individuals for reasons of fleecing people of their hard earned cash or blatant ******ion. It can’t be that nobody there at Revo takes responsibility and no one wants to be accountable for this wrong behaviour. I spoke to Caitlin, Yvonne and the last person to talk to was Leloka Mothibe. These guys have a weird obsession with collecting moneys from tenants whose accounts have been well managed with not even a single default payment throughout the course of the Lease Agreement. In modern day society one expects corporate business to operate above board and with absolute transparency in order to gain the trust of its market but it appears the element of trust is foreign with Revo in Cape Town. I am seeking to challenge this and seek to expose all the financial wrongs that have been committed, particularly against our account - my son has been renting under my care. Firstly we received a weird request from Revo Properties, right from the onset, to rate them positively on Hellopeter in exchange for R50.00 credit - something that never happens with credible organisations out there. That was the first red flag that went without us taking it seriously. We just played along but should have known better. Secondly, it was charging interest where it was not supposed to be. Once we were in the middle of the Lease Agreements weird surreptitious charges started creeping up and only to be reversed after Revo were challenged, meaning if other unsuspecting students never challenged it they obviously fell victim of interest charges being incorrectly lumped onto their monthly accounts for interest towards something that has not yet been formally captured and presented on the monthly invoice statement. What kind of an accounting system does that? Interest is levied before you even know what charges exactly gave rise to the interest. Thirdly, we received an exhorbitant quotation asking us to renovate their premises for them under the disguise of end of Lease Agreement maintenance and exit schedule, a common practice that should only genuinely seek to address real issues of possible damages and reasonable repair of broken stuff in the student room at the end of the Lease Agreement. These guys at Revo were asking for well over R7,000.00 more than the monthly rental amount just to paint a small student unit. What ******ion! This is some kind of ************ practice where a very small student room is quoted at well over R7,000.00 just to paint it at the end of the Lease Agreement. And it turns out the same amount now forms part of the proposed refund of deposit once we rejected such ************ practice so it is clear Revo had ill intentions of not wanting to pay back the deposit money in its entirety to start off with. The figures that have been communicated in seem to be just randomly thrown at us in an effort to even out the deposit amount so that Revo can declare a zero balance at the end of the Lease. We rejected this with the contempt it deserves. So it is clear now that the initial more than R7,000.00 quotation was meant to even out the deposit refund amount. If one does not carefully analyse all the figures being thrown at them one would suffer financial harm due to this behaviour which I have already told Revo Management that it is ************ behaviour. How they have now managed to reduce a whole deposit amount of over R10,000.00 which should include interest on the holding deposit to just under R7,000.00 as a final proposal to pay out is beyond me. For instance a charge of R1,250.00 has been lumped for “mattress cleaning” when everyone knows or a simple online search will reveal that mattress cleaning in Cape Town should be around R300 for a single mattress to about R600 for a King Size mattress and student accommodation is not equipped with a King Size bed at Revo. One just doesn’t know how such figures of over R1,200.00 can possibly form part of a final invoice to calculate the remaining balance to be paid out as Deposit Refund. The ************ element continues right through the final invoice hence we have decided to take the fight with Revo out into the open for everyone to see. We regret having chosen Revo as our preferred option for student accommodation. What a regret of the year! I am sick of it and will seek other means to force Revi to play by the rules and respect people’s hard earned cash.

Extremely poor after sales service
Oxfloblox / Revo Property / Prospekt ⚠️ Serious warning to prospective buyers and investors. My experience with this developer and its representatives has been extremely disappointing. Despite months of written promises, basic contractual snags remain unresolved, and there has been no accountability or follow-through. Communication is poor, deadlines are ignored, and the same excuses are recycled without action. This pattern shows a complete lack of after-sales support and disregard for contractual obligations. It has caused financial loss and unnecessary stress due to the property being left incomplete. Buyers should be very cautious – do not rely on verbal or email assurances, insist on written completion guarantees, and withhold final payment until every snag is truly resolved. Once they’ve been paid, you are on your own. — Vincent Jones
