property powerProperty Power is giving away 10 copies of the 11th edition of ‘Property Power in South Africa’. To be entered into this draw subscribe to our Team Sectional Title blog. Winners will be announced on the Friday 26 February 2016 on our blog.

Buying or selling a home as well as moving, can be one of the most stressful experiences in your life, even more so if you are not properly informed, and it is probably one of the most important investments you will make. You need to understand your rights and obligations and learn to take control of the process.

Property and its wealth creating power is not an exact science, but a very complex industry, in which most of us share an interest. Property Power is designed to empower home buyers, home sellers, first-time property investors and owner-builders/renovators with knowledge regarding important aspects of purchasing and selling immovable residential property.

Too many people run into financial difficulty and have to live with disappointments after making hasty decisions and not taking control of their property transactions. Property Power is a magazine (including an interactive PC CD-Rom) in which we cover the most important facts with regard to property transactions as comprehensively as possible, while keeping it simple, user-friendly and easy to read.

If you missed out on the previous editions, don’t despair. Each year, after the Minister of Finance announces the new Budget, we update Property Power and release a new edition. Everything discussed in the previous edition is simply revised and modified to the latest developments, figures and legislation in the market and newly researched material is added.

Updated Information
Property Power is updated and published regularly. You can visit our website at any time to make sure that you have the latest edition and that you are not missing out on any new information, like amendments to certain acts, or changes in the interest rate, budget speech, and so on. We endeavor to update Property Power at least once a year, however sometimes an edition may be relevant for two years.

Do you live in a Burglary Hot Spot or a Suburb Safe Zone?

January 25, 2016 by Editor in Community, Neighbourhood, Security | Leave a comment

neighbourhood“If property owners do not take collective action as a neighbourhood community, the affect on everyone’s property values in that neighbourhood could be very negative”, says Cape Town real estate broker, Andre de Villiers from Cape Town.

De Villiers was previously a Neighbourhood Watch Chairperson for a popular Cape Town coastal suburb. “My experience is that there are far too few residents prepared to get involved in neighbourhood security unless there is a dramatic spike in crime or a violent attack. The majority of residents it seems are only too happy to leave the collective security concerns to someone else”.

“As the owner of four real estate offices in Cape Town, I can confirm that buyers are increasingly asking agents for more details about security issues in the neighbourhood of the house they are interested in. The focus on the individual house’s security is correctly seen as something that can be resolved by the buyer, but the area’s reputation and crime statistics are a greater concern, as a buyer knows this will probably be an issue that falls outside their immediate control.”

There is certainly a demand for reliable data but this is not as easy to obtain as some may think. Many smaller incidents are not reported to the police and many private security services treat their information as confidential and many neighbourhood watch groups are understandably concerned that their neighbourhood could suffer if their efficiency in keeping records resulted in a negative message!

“I think any professional estate agent should have some reasonable methodology to answer security questions from buyers objectively about the neighbourhood. We can’t put our head in the sand over this issue and a lack of access to reliable data is certainly a challenge,” said de Villiers.

The message to property owners is to ‘buy in’ to the responsibility of keeping their neighbourhood safe and crime free through collective action, and thereby collecting a ‘collective security dividend’. “Imagine if you will, a pocket of houses that is able to claim and where the seller or agent can statistically show, that the subject area is the safest area in this suburb! If that’s not a great selling feature then, as a real estate professional with over thirty years experience, I am not sure what is!” said de Villiers.

Pets in Sectional Title Schemes

January 15, 2016 by Editor in Community, Sectional Title News, Sectional Title Property | Leave a comment

petsPet owners should familiarize themselves with the prescribed conduct rules in a sectional title scheme before they commit to purchasing or occupying a unit therein. This is because the legal principle “caveat emptor” applies and a buyer is expected to have knowledge of the rules applicable to the scheme.

Some schemes have rules which prohibit the keeping of any pets. Others provide that the owner/occupier of a section may only keep certain pets with the written consent of the trustees, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. In the latter instance, should an owner feel that the trustees have unreasonably withheld consent, a court may be approached for a declaratory order.

Questions to consider when Investing in Sectional Title

January 8, 2016 by Editor in Sectional Title Property, Sectional Title Team | Leave a comment

A little homework goes a long way when considering the purchase of a sectional title unit. Points to questionponder:

  • What is sold with the unit?
  • Are there parking bays, garages and storerooms?
  • Are these facilities allocated by the body corporate in terms of the rules of the scheme, or are they exclusive use areas?
  • Do you need to make a contribution for these facilities?
  • Are there enough visitors’ parking bays?
  • Are there open pieces of land around the complex and has the developer reserved a right to extend the scheme in phases?
  • Can you have copies of the conduct rules of the complex, as well as copies of the audited financial statements?
  • What amounts are owing by the body corporate to the municipality?
  • What are the monthly levies?
  • Are there any special levies likely to be raised in the future?

Benefits of Loft Apartments

October 14, 2015 by Editor in Sectional Title Property, Wynberg | Leave a comment

TheGeorgianThe main difference between regular apartments and loft apartments is the latter’s open layout construction and design. Loft apartments tend to have fewer walls that divide the living, sleeping and dining rooms.

There are many benefits to living in loft apartments:

  • The open space lofts provide is a great benefit for its residents.
  • The simple layout and design of a loft is very literal. It’s like a blank piece of canvass you can work on and gives you a great opportunity to use those creative design skills to fill up that open space.
  • The high ceilings give the open space a luxurious feel –something not commonly found in traditional apartments.
  • The high ceilings also give you more room for decorating, especially if you own a lot of art pieces.

Loft apartments are perfect for those who want an eclectic look and feel. This North facing loft modern loft apartment in Wynberg is ideal for the buyer looking for wide open spaces, charm and mountain views. Read more about this Wynberg apartment for sale.
