WELCOME

Publisher Engel & Völkers Southern Africa Editor Craig Hutchison Creative Director Elzanne Venter

Dear Readers

pril was a month of celebration for us at Engel & Völkers as we celebrated our Top Performers for 2017 amongst the vineyards in Cape Town. The event took place on 20 April at Landtscap in Stellenbosch, and we will focus more on the happenings at the event in our next bumper edition. In the meantime, we wish to thank all our partners for their valuable involvement in making this event possible. At the time of going to print, Cape Town also received their first real down pour of much needed rains, and we hope that this will only be the first of many, help the region to start its recovery.

Included in our features this month we identify some of the common property hoaxes, as well as taking a look at the ins and out of mortgage bonds on page 9. With the winter months upon us, we also investigate the benefits of solar and the effect it has on property prices, as well as the options and costs available to you.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Everything you need to know about property financing MORTGAGE BONDS Banks and mortgage companies understand that purchasing a home is an important investment, whether you're a first time buyer, or buying your second or third home. A mortgage is simply a loan that is secured on immovable property, normally your home. The mortgage is lent to you in a lump sum to pay for the property, which needs to be paid back over a period of time. It's important to be familiar with what is required from you and what precautions you can take, to ensure that you qualify for a home loan. “Be sure to use a reputable estate agent and mortgage originator to ensure you to make the best decisions for your unique circumstances, as they act as the liaison between you, the seller and financial institution” advises Craig Hutchison, CEO Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. There are certain things that you should know about the loan application process before you apply for one, the actual process and financials required are often not known. We have a look at the options available to you and answer some important questions that could help you once you decide to search for a new home.

WHAT IS PRE APPROVAL? A Bond Originator can be contacted to get you pre-qualified for a home loan, even before you start the house hunting process. They will take you through the pre-qualification process where you will need to submit supporting documents for a credit check and financial assessment which are required. Once that is completed they will issue you with a pre-qualification certificate that is valid for 3 months. Now that you know what you can afford you can start your search.

WHAT OTHER COSTS ARE THERE ASSOCIATED WITH MORTGAGES? Transfer fees Whenever you buy a house valued at over R900 000 fees are payable to the South African Revenue Service (SARS). It is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price and varies depending on the purchaser's legal status. The transfer duty is paid by the purchaser of the property prior to registration of transfer, or within six months after signing the agreement. There is a penalty fee for late payment of 10% per annum for each completed month after due date is levied. Bond registration costs The attorney registering your bond charges fees. They receive an instruction from the bank that has approved your home loan, draw up the paperwork, do FICA checks and lodge at the Deeds office. These attorneys should be in touch with you within a week of your mortgage being approved. They will ask you to come into their offices to sign the necessary documents. The fees are charged on a sliding scale, and your mortgage originator will be able to inform you how much these will be.

Property Scams O

ur lives have been made considerably easier with technological advances such as the internet. Unfortunately it has also opened up a world of opportunities for con artists. As automation improves, so does the level of property scams, and while every precaution is taken, there will always be yet another way that fraudsters discover to deceive buyers and sellers out of large sums of money. “Fraud and investment scams thrive in all degrees in the real estate market, from developers who expect payment for work not done or a pretend agent who embezzles money. Working with a legitimate estate agent at your side will ensure that you will be protecting yourself against common types of real estate scams. When dealing with an agent, buyers and sellers must check that the agent is registered with the Estate Agency Affairs Board and has a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate. It's illegal for an agent to practise if they are not in possession of this important document. These certificates are issued on an annual basis and must reflect that the agent is licensed to practise for the current year. Always obtain certainty on the banking details were payments or deposits are being made” advises Craig Hutchison, CEO Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. Read our full version online for a look at the latest scam trends and take note of our key points below to help avoid you becoming a victim: § Be wary when you are requested to make a payment for something minor like a credit check or security deposit, in most cases, there's nothing you can do to get your money back because the scammer can't be tracked. § If the price looks too good to be true, it probably is. Prices are considerably higher than they were a few years ago. § The email sounds strange - some listings hide the email address when you send a message, so you might not be able to see the address if you respond to the listing. Scammers usually use free email servers and they'll often go by a series of random letters to make them less easily traceable. \ § The Agent won't show you the property - If you ask to see the property and they claim it's impossible, it's probably a fake listing. Agent will make time for people who are interested in the property. § The seller pushes you - the faster a scammer gets you to agree to a business deal, the faster they can steal your money and avoid getting caught. The seller will often use high-pressure tactics that attempt to push you into acting quickly in order to purchase the home. Don't be prodded by any seller to send money. § The seller asks you to wire money - when you see the term “wire money” or similar variation of that phrase come up in a business conversation with someone you've never met, red flags should go up. Many scams entail wiring of funds because it's more difficult to trace and enables the scammer to collect the money sooner. Scammers will come up with a variety of plausible reasons why the money should be wired rather than sent through a bank or lawyer.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Go Green Going Solar

olar energy has exploded over the last decade with the cost of solar panels decreasing, making solar more affordable than ever. Many homeowners have already invested in this to make their homes more environmentally friendly and sustainable, but if you are still investigating the options available to you, this article could assist you in taking that final step towards sustainable living. “Whether you go completely off-grid or simply supplement your household energy intake with a smaller system it will already be the start to increasing your property value. The primary investment of solar power is often enough to scare one off, however the payback period of your investment, and future rewards, make solar power affordable to most homeowners” comments Craig Hutchison, CEO Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination of both. It's renewable, and can be used in a variety of ways to sustainably fuel homes, producing hot water and electricity.

BY CHANTALLE BELL Solar systems require very little maintenance and you could end up saving up to 60% -80% on your electricity bill, depending on the size of your home and what kind of solar energy system you install. Whether you build a new energy efficient house or upgrade your existing one, solar technology will definitely add to the value of your property. These can be quite expensive when it comes to installation. The size of your home as well as the amount of work that is involved for installation will determine the cost. The costs are decreasing as new technology is introduced for more efficient solar energy generation… To continue reading, please scan the QR code or visitwww.nationalguide.co.za

Make Mom a a

YOU WILL NEED: A glass jar (we recommend to not go smaller than a 3 litre jar), tissue paper, lint, chalkboard tag / sticker and all moms favourite thinks to full the jar § Step 1: Add some tissue paper at the bottom of the jar. § Step 2: Place all moms favourite things in the jar. e.g. hand cream, chocolates, earnings, a gift card, body wash and a scarf. § Step 3: Once your jar is full, finish it off with a pretty ribbon and add a tag or sticker to personalise it with mom on.

The large “MOM” sign is made of a board lined with small pictures at the top and a string to hang or display it. The main feature though is the big pink word, which was done with stencils and string art techniques. The outline of the letters needs to be nailed on, so a teenager or adult has to be involved in this project.

YOU WILL NEED: Moms favourite cupcake recipe and ingredients, mini muffin pan/wrappers, favourite icing, piping bag, flower pot, styrofoam ball that fits inside pot and toothpicks. § Step 1: Bake moms favourite cupcakes and allow to cool. § Step 2: Place the styrofoam ball in the pot. § Step 3: Working your way around the styrofoam ball, place toothpicks on the ball and add the mini cupcakes, staggering rows. Angle the toothpicks up, so the cupcakes will stay on. § Step 4: Fill piping bags with your favourite frosting. Pipe a frosting rose on each cupcake using a wilton 2D tip. Hold the piping bag perpendicular to the cupcake. Starting on the outside, squeeze the piping bag and create a spiral until your reach the middle of the cupcake.

Win Mom a

YOU WILL NEED: § Four 10-by-10cm white tiles § Four 10-by-10cm square pictures § Scissors § Mod podge § Foam brush § Felt § Hot glue gun § Length of ribbon § Clear spray sealant DIRECTIONS: Cut out the pictures, rounding the edges, which gives the finished photo coasters a nice look. Coat the front of the tile with a thin layer of Mod Podge, then center and press a picture to the tile. Let dry for 20 minutes, then coat the top of the picture with a light coating of Mod Podge, brushing horizontally then vertically. Let dry for another 20 minutes and then lightly coat again, sealing the top of the coaster and ensuring the photo is completely adhered to the tile. Cut four small 2.5cm squares from the felt for each tile, and use a hot glue gun to stick one square of felt to each corner of the tile. Give the dry photo coasters a quick coat of clear spray sealant, which will completely moisture-proof the finished project.
