Before you ask for prices in Eastern Cape

For backyard landlords and families, the biggest group here, modular homes usually means rental cottages delivered as finished modules, so tenants move in sooner. Getting it to site: along the N2 and N10; rural Wild Coast roads can be slow after rain.
Homes in Eastern Cape: local notes
Wendy houses and wooden homes in Walmer, Lorraine and Beacon Bay need sealing against the coastal damp. Nutec houses add rooms quickly in KwaZakhele, Mdantsane and Zwelitsha. Around Jeffreys Bay and St Francis Bay, container homes and modular units serve as beach cottages, but salt air means coated steel and regular paint. In Graaff-Reinet and Somerset East, a timber home has to cope with hot days and freezing Karoo nights.
Modular Homes here usually suit family homes, cottages and lodge units. Made or supplied like this: whole room modules built in a factory.
What gets put up around Eastern Cape
From the Wild Coast to the Karoo, the Eastern Cape covers more kinds of country than most provinces. Gqeberha and East London see steady demand for backyard rooms and granny flats in Motherwell, Mdantsane and the northern areas, plus site offices around the Coega zone and the motor industry. Villages around Mthatha, Butterworth and Lusikisiki build nutec rooms and cottages on open land, often far down gravel roads. Holiday towns such as Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea want timber cabins near the sea, while Karoo farms around Graaff-Reinet and Cradock need staff houses. Expect strong wind, salt on the coast, and sloping, rocky ground in the former Transkei. Some coastal land has environmental limits, so check with the council first.
