| District | Listings | From | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandton | 4 | ZAR 1,500 | ZAR 1,500 |
| Midrand | 3 | ZAR 3,090 | ZAR 3,490 |
| Fourways | 2 | ZAR 2,090 | ZAR 2,090 |
“From” is the tenth-percentile published price in that district, so a real low end rather than a single outlier; the median is the middle of the published range. Districts with fewer than three published prices are left out.
| Team | At the low end (ZAR 1,690/desk) | At the median (ZAR 2,290/desk) | Upper quarter (ZAR 2,490/desk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | ZAR 1,690 | ZAR 2,290 | ZAR 2,490 |
| 5 people | ZAR 8,450 | ZAR 11,450 | ZAR 12,450 |
| 10 people | ZAR 16,900 | ZAR 22,900 | ZAR 24,900 |
| 20 people | ZAR 33,800 | ZAR 45,800 | ZAR 49,800 |
These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.
At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
