The Property Show: The smart place to start your property journey

The Property Show by Private Property, at Decorex Joburg from 30 July to 2 August 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, helps you to make informed property decisions.

Whether dreaming of owning your first home, preparing to buy or sell, growing a property portfolio, renting, or renovating an existing home, the biggest mistake you can make is not fully understanding the property market.

For most of us, a property portal is where the journey begins, but finding a property is only one part of the process. Without understanding affordability, home loans, contracts, market trends, and investment opportunities, fear and uncertainty can cause delays or missed opportunities. Even simple decisions can feel overwhelming.

Private Property understands that each visitor to its platform is on a different stage of their property journey. That is why it doesn't just help you find property; it helps you become ready for property.

It already does this through its Advice Centre but has taken an even bigger step by presenting The Property Show so that you no longer have to piece together information from dozens of sources. It is a single hub, proudly brought to you by Private Property and its The Property Show partner Nedbank, which will also be exhibiting as a home loan finance expert.

The four days of insights and advice that you can access are provided by some of the most credible and trusted experts in the market. Those include an economist, financial authorities, estate agents, developers, and industry specialists, who are driven to help consumers build the confidence they need to make informed property decisions.

Every property journey starts somewhere

The Property Show at Decorex Joburg, from 30 July to 2 August 2026, is appropriately themed Your Property Journey Starts Here, which encompasses three different stages or mindsets:

  • Start – for first-time buyers and aspiring homeowners wanting to understand affordability, home loans, becoming home loan-ready, and the buying process.
  • Grow – for people interested in building wealth through property investment and growing a successful property portfolio.
  • Live – for homeowners wanting practical advice on renovating, improving, and maximising the value of their homes.

Wherever you are on your property journey, preparation matters. The best property decisions are made by people who understand their options, know what to expect, and have taken time to prepare. That's why education is at the heart of both Private Property and The Property Show.

Hear from leading experts

Most often the smartest property decision is simply knowing where to start, which is why one of the biggest attractions of The Property Show is the opportunity for you to hear directly from some of the most respected property and financial experts:

  • Economist John Loos will unpack what lies ahead for the interest rate, affordability, housing demand, and where the country's property market is heading.
  • Personal finance expert Maya Fisher-French will explain credit scores, budgeting, home loan readiness, and the financial steps first-time buyers should take before making an offer on a property.
  • Financial educator Nicolette Mashile will share practical advice on financial readiness and how property can become an effective long-term wealth-building tool.
  • Entrepreneur, author, and founder of Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque will inspire you to find opportunity in every property journey.
  • Property professional Kura Chihota will explain how to choose the right estate agent when buying or selling a property.

You’ll be able to ask questions during these theatre sessions as well as continue those conversations with exhibitors.

Theatre presentations

Exhibitors that are also presenting theatre topics include:

  • BetterBond, offering guidance on prepping for home finance.
  • Nedbank (The Property Show’s headline partner), sharing tips on how to fund your property decisions.
  • Fine & Country talks about luxury property trends and high-end market opportunities.
  • Prosperity Enterprises speaks to property investment, tax, and wealth structuring.
  • DIL Property Development, on how to build future-focused investments.
  • Website Properties covers digital marketing.
  • Iyaf Property Services, providing advice on buying, selling, renting, and investing in property.
  • The Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) will inform attendees about sectional title and community scheme governance.

Having so many specialists under one roof gives visitors the opportunity to connect with organisations covering almost every aspect of homeownership.

Browse the theatre programme and identify the presentation(s) you would most like to attend. Some sessions will be repeated over the four-day event, so be sure to purchase a Decorex ticket for the day on which your chosen session is scheduled. Your admission ticket is valid only for the day you have selected and cannot be transferred to another day.

Plan your visit

To make the most of your time at The Property Show, it's worth planning your visit before purchasing your Decorex ticket.

You can select your preferred theatre sessions in advance, but completing the form does not reserve or guarantee a seat. Each session is limited to 40 attendees, with seating allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If there's a session you don't want to miss, arrive at the theatre early, as popular presentations are expected to fill up quickly.
