WELCOME Dear Readers,

e h a ve officially reached the end of 2014. Time is racing by, our working days are getting shorter and shorter with so many things to wrap up before we all embark on our December holidays. Although the year went by much faster than we might have wished, it was an extremely positive 2014. Reflecting back on it and all the events of this year, we can clearly see where the year has gone and that it definitely might be time for the holiday season. We at Engel & Völkers experienced an astonishing increase of 39% in registered sales growth to the end of October when compared to the same period in 2013. Together with this positive increase, we also celebrated the opening of new shops, a growing footprint, powerful relationships being formed, a record number of accolades achieved and much more. Read more about our experience of 2014 on page 16. With the eye-catching Christmas decorations displayed in all of our shopping centres, as well as carols playing in the background, you can feel that the holiday season

Publisher Engel & Völkers Southern Africa

is in full swing. For this reason we have compiled a bumper edition this month, packed with some great gifting ideas, environment friendly Christmas decorations, things to do and much more. As 2014 draws to a close, it was with a sigh of relief that we were given some good news with the interest rates remaining unchanged. We hope that 2015 will continue this positive trend and that the real estate industry will only blossom further in the year to come. Turn to page 47 to read more about our predictions for the year to come. On that note, we wish you all a very festive season and a very happy new year as we say farewell until our next edition in February 2015. For those who are going away, safe travels and those are staying behind and preferring to catch up on some things in need of your attention, we also invite you to contact any of our sales advisors for a free market valuation should you think that the new year could hold a new home for you. All our shops will be open during the festive season and ready to attend to your property needs. Happy reading until next time,

INDUSTRY NEWS Fasten your seatbelts for the most entertaining and exciting Afrikaans film yet!

“Mooirivier” will be released during February 2015 and promises to get South African movie fans lining up for tickets. Cobus van den Berg, Tim Theron and Jorrie van der Walt, producers of Klein Karoo, also bring you this film of love. The star studded line-up of actors include: Tim Theron, Anél Alexander, Hykie Berg, Milan Murray, Nadia Beukes, Heinz Winkler, Bouwer Bosch, Leandie du Randt, Danie Putter, Bennie Fourie, Francois Viviers, Elmie Brits and more. Movie enthusiasts can look forward to original music which was specifically composed for the movie and is sung by some of South Africa's favourite artists. Mooirivier is an all-in-one romantic film with five individual, intertwined story lines which unfold during the run-up to Easter celebrations in South Africa. The major story line is about six couples, between the ages of 12 and 40, who, in their

community in the filming of the movie, they also opened their hearts towards the community. All the clothing used on set and linen which was used by the actors and crew during filming, was handed to the Doulos Poverty Relief program, who distributed it to the needy.

True love can hit you when you expect it the least. Every character in the movie shares their experiences with love, as it is portrayed throughout the movie. They soon realise that love cannot be packaged in a particular way, but it can surprise you when it transpires. During specific times of the year, like during Easter, we are reminded that love, if you are willing to fight through the obstacles and challenges, can be triumphant in the end.

René van Rooyen performed as director and writer for the movie after she won the category for the best short film during the Silwerskermfees in 2012. Her short film was called Nantes. Mooirivier is her first full length film, but it is expected that she will become an invaluable name in the industry. Her husband is Corné van Rooyen, who just walked off with the accolade of best full length film at the 2014 Silwerskermfees. His film “Hollywood in my huis”, was also his first full length attempt.

Mooirivier was filmed in Potchefstroom, home of the river. The producers found the residents, mayor, city council and local business chamber very accommodating and supportive during the process. Although the producers included the

Mooirivier will be released in theatres all over South Africa on 6 February 2015. Make sure that you do not miss this exciting new film of love and hope.

LISA • Anel Alexander LISA MALAN, AMELIA's younger sister, is a free-spirited and sexy fashion stylist who recently returned from Paris (France) where she lived and worked for the past few years. After a failed relationship and an expired work visa she returned to Potchefstroom. She wants to create a home for herself and meets Paul, a real estate agent, who has to help her find the ideal house.

JANINE - Leandie du Randt JANINE is a hopeless romantic who easily falls in love. She likes romantic books, romantic films, ice-cream, chocolates, guys who sing to her… Actually, any romantic gesture makes her heart pop. Janine is in love with the idea of romance and being in love. Every boyfriend soon finds himself as a husband-to-be and she is disappointed every time.

SPYS & ARNOLDUS Bennie Fourie en Bouwer Bosch

Dave Sarah PAUL • Tim Theron

SPYS is a sport fanatic and he is the rugby captain for his hostel team. ARNOLDUS plays the flute and studies music. These two are always at loggerheads, the one trying to outlast the other with the latest prank. Spys is one of Ian's best friends and adores protein shakes, wife beater shirts and tight fitting short pants. Arnoldus has a small physique, but has a passion for the martial arts.

PAUL used to be a reverend when he lost his wife two years ago. He now works as a real estate agent, but not a very successful one. He is just too honest to be a good salesman. He struggles to sell houses and is on the verge of losing his job if he does not urgently make a sale. He meets Lisa, the perfect potential client. She is beautiful and needs a house. Paul has to pull out all the stops to, not only impress the lady, but also sell her a house, in order to keep his job.

SARAH • Diaan Lawrenson SARAH is the exceptionally strict manager of the town's five star Hotel. She expects nothing but the best from her staff, but their well-being is of no concern to her. She does not get along with MARCELLE.

unique ways, are all in search of true love. However, this film does not illustrate your typical fairytale version. Mooirivier takes you on a route, sometimes funny, but sometimes sad, that proves the realities of what it really takes to let love triumph.

AMELIA - Milan Murray AMELIA is a housewife, but a perfectionist. She is married to STEFAN and they have a son, MARCO. Amelia can always be spotted as the one with the colour coordinated outfits and whose hair and make-up is faultless. She is always in control of her emotions, but the way Stefan acts lately, disrupts her placid life.

JACKIE - Anne Hirsch JACKIE is a family member of SARAH who does any odd job to pay off her study loan. She gets the job as receptionist at the hotel. MARCELLE was hoping to land the job. Jackie is DAVE MEYER's biggest admirer, or rather most hopeful stalker.

DAVE MEYER - Heinz Winckler DAVE is a good looking and well known Afrikaans pop star. Women are nuts about him and he can easily play with their feelings. He is touring the country with his latest album and as part of his tour agreed to perform during the Potchefstroom Easter concert. He is very confident, some might even call him arrogant, and used to getting his own way. His reputation says it all.

IAN - Danie Putter IAN is a looker. He is a student and also the University’s biggest player who cannot commit to a relationship. He enjoys life, his student life and the huge variety of girls that go along with being an admired guy. Ian prides himself in the fact that he never loses his heart on any girl. He boasts that he can move on easily and does not get involved in any emotional turmoil for which he does not have time right now.

STEFAN - Hykie Berg STEFAN is going through a visible and very public midlife crisis. He honestly tries to be a cool dad for his son, MARCO. It is evident that he has lost direction, which leads to him make one very bad choice… This can cause great damage to his marriage and his relationship with his son.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Reflecting back on 2014 A year of achievement To know that 2014 is very close to its end is quite unbelievable, but when we consider all the remarkable achievements and successes at Engel & Völkers both locally and internationally, we reflect on this past year. with pride and satisfaction.

lthough we are very careful not to rest on our laurels, we are still extremely proud of the 39% registered sales growth at the end of October 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, and we are confident that we can continue this upward trend during 2015. Earlier this year, with the minor increase in interest rates announced by the Reserve Bank, we noticed a temporary decline in the housing demand, but this soon recovered with no negative effect on home prices. “When I consider the reasons for our progression, I can confidently say it is due to our hard-working and motivated sales advisors. Their dedication and passion is clearly reflected in their performance when I monitor their sales results on a daily basis” says Craig Hutchison, CEO Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. “The ongoing and regular training presented at our International Training Academy by master trainers who were trained at our Engel & Völkers Group headquarters in Hamburg, is superb and embraced by all in the group.” Our motivated sales advisors are well trained and experienced and they continuously strive to qualify as one of our exceptional Platinum Achievers. During this past year many of our sales advisors were nominated internationally and nationally for various categories of achievement, and it is with great pride that we learnt that Theo Volschenk from our Potchefstroom franchise, won the category “TOP Agent Unit Sales worldwide” - this due to Theo achieving the highest number of points in this category among 600 shops internationally. This was also Theo's second year of being nominated for this remarkable achievement. Each year the award function and prize giving is held on the beautiful Spanish island of Majorca, at the magnificent coastline property owned by Christian Völkers, CEO of Engel & Völkers International. In July this year Theo together with his colleague from Potchefstroom, Ansa du Plooy as well as Daniël Gouws from our Pretoria New

East franchise were hosted in Majorca by the E&V group and acknowledged for their performance during the past year, and for Theo to be placed 1st Internationally was a phenomenal achievement. Their achievements remain a highlight of our 2014 calendar, especially when it is considered that these sales advisors are up against agents from every one of the 38 countries where Engel & Völkers is represented. In July we proudly hosted our annual National Rewards and Recognition function, to which the city of Potchefstroom set the scene for a great evening. Here the high calibre of sales advisors was evident in the level of sales they achieved. There are more than 15 award categories which are acknowledged at this event, and considering the noteworthy standard of our franchisees, it is never an easy or simple task to select a deserving winner for any category. The element of surprise is however always welcome and the evening was a wonderful success. All our shops are very excited about attending our annual Rewards and Recognition function which will be hosted in Cape Town during March 2015. This will be a wonderful occasion to showcase each nominee's achievements and an opportunity to network with each other and share success stories. Another accolade to add to the list, was the approval a new franchise application for the Durbanville area in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. The two partners, Morne and Mary-Ann Vorster are as excited as we are about this new challenge and opportunity, and their new shop will open in December 2014. Some of our existing franchises also relocated to better premises or opened additional shops Knysna, Sedgefield, Waterkloof, Dullstroom, Hartbeespoort Dam, Kosmos (Hartbeespoort Dam) as well as our Cape Town Southern Suburbs shop which moved into the bustling business area of Claremont. This expansion absolutely strengthens our Engel & Völkers presence throughout South Africa.

Recently, we also upgraded our database listing programme to assist our sales advisors in capturing properties more efficiently, so as to ensure they provide clients with qualified and proficient service. Our mission is to ensure a smooth sales and registration process and that our sales advisors are committed to assist their clients in making sound property investment choices. The list keeps on growing with another feather in our cap - Engel & Völkers was awarded the best company brand in the German property industry 2014. The German online portal ImmobilienScout24 has honoured Engel & Völkers with the Property Industry Brand Award (German: Marken Award der Immobilienbranche) in the category “Best company brand”. “This is already the third award that Engel & Völkers in Germany has received in 2014. We are very proud of these outstanding results, which ultimately derive from the high number of satisfied clients and employees,” said Kai Enders, Member of the Board of Engel & Völkers AG. Due to this type of acknowledgement and the corporate and standardised look of all our shops worldwide, the Engel & Völkers brand was recently chosen by a South African film company looking to film in a real estate office. “We at Engel & Völkers are very privileged that Kaapland Films chose an Engel & Völkers shop in which to film certain scenes” says Craig. Earlier this year, they filmed their latest movie 'Mooirivier', in Potchefstroom. The movie is to be launched on 6 February 2015. Craig concluded 'Our international brand values are Competence, Exclusivity, Passion and these are the criterion by which we all proudly conduct our daily activities at Engel & Völkers.' Internationally we have more than 560 shops to offer clients a professionally tailored range of services, and access to world-wide marketing possibilities – a truly international real estate company.

LIFESTYLE It is during this time when we are also the most wasteful; it's a good time to take a moment to consider the small and easy ways you can do something worthwhile during the holiday season.

Are you recycling this silly season?

ecember holidays are finally here – now is the time for us to revel in the festive season and make the most of the long summer days. We wine and dine more than any other time of year. The festive season is filled with exuberance and excess! It is during this time when we are also the most wasteful; it's a good time to take a moment to consider the small and easy ways you can do something worthwhile during the holiday season. Take for instance each beer bottle you throw away after a few drinks with friends, could that bottle not have been better used instead of being sent to landfill? Consider that this marvelous packaging is made of sand and turned to a beautiful packaging medium. Then think for a moment if you really ought to throw that in the trash? Collect your festive season glass and take it to a glass bank or recycling point near you. Many service stations, restaurants and shopping centres have recycling facilities. In addition you can find a glass bank by sending an SMS with the word 'glass' and the name of your suburb to 32310, at a cost of R1.00 per SMS. For example, if you looking for a bank in Fourways simply SMS: Glass Fourways. Recycling is easy; you don't have to start big to make an impact.

Here are some simple tips from TGRC to educate your family and friends: ¡ Glass containers, bottles and jars, such as those used for food and refreshments can be recycled. ¡ In South Africa, it's not necessary to place different coloured glass into separate banks or wash glass before placing it into “Glass Banks” ¡ Take your kids with you and show them how and where to put their bottles. ¡ Make sure you take back returnable bottles your retailer which will be refilled and reused – these include large beer bottles, certain glass coldrink bottles and even some of the bottles used for spirits and liquor. ¡ Visit our website www.tgrc.co.za for more tips, advice and inspiration for going green this green season! ¡ You can also like the TGRC Facebook page www.facebook.com/ TheGlassRecyclingCo for more great ideas Encourage those around you to do the same – wouldn't they feel guilty throwing away glass that is so easily recycled? Why allow it to take up space in our already full landfill sites when recycling glass saves energy and reduces our country's carbon footprint. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled again and again without losing its purity or strength. When we pop the cork of our favourite champagne, should we perhaps not only toast the glorious contents but also the longevity of the recyclable glass bottle? And the fact that your wine bottle has a 40% recycled glass content?

About The Glass Recycling Company The Glass Recycling Company (TGRC) consists of a team dedicated to increasing glass recycling in South Africa. We are passionate about ensuring every South African realises the value of recycling glass and actively embraces this practice. TGRC is funded by our loyal shareholders who manufacture glass or package their products in glass. While we do not physically recycle the glass, we strive to educate, enable, encourage and inspire our communities

to separate their glass for recycling daily. Our focus is not only on consumers and their communities, but also on trade, industry and corporate South Africa. We also aim to uplift impoverished communities through job creation and skills development in the recycling sector. TGRC believes in the infinite potential of glass to make a real and positive contribution to society. At TGRC we are committed to prove that glass recycling is worth the effort!

Give the world to your loved ones this Christmas Help to save the earth one bottle or one bag at a time. Here are some great ideas for Christmas decorations, gifts made from items that normally end up in the trash, saving the environment, saving you money, and at the same time, keeping the kids entertained during the holidays. The Christmas decorations are ideal for outside as they will not be damaged. Have fun!

‘Tis the season for sharing

Icicles

As much as they like receiving, children love handing out gifts to anyone and everyone. Hand-made gifts are more special and easier on your pocket.

By cutting the bottle into spirals, you can make icycles by twisting the strip of plastic whilst holding a hairdryer between your knees and heating the plastic. It will melt and turn into hard plastic sticks. They could also make beautiful spirals without the heat and again – get the kids in to help decorate.

Toilet rolls, some lint or tinsel and a small chocolate bar or hand painted rocks will keep the kids busy for hours.

Snowflakes Soda bottles make beautiful Christmas tree decorations. * Cut off the bottom and give to the kids to decorate * Attach a string and you have a beautiful decoration to hang on the tree

6 1

Bottle Cap Snowman Items needed: * Scisors * Gluegun * Bottle caps * Coloured pens * Wool, buttons (any items to decorate) Simply stick the bottle caps to the lint, ensuring you have enough open at the top to make a loop, and decorate.

Plastic Bag Pillows 1. Find a bag that is about the size of your pillow cover or a bit larger to use as outer bag. Grocery store bags work the best. To get a smooth and uniform pillow shape – spread each stuffing bag out and then loosely roll it, then place in the bag. If you just bunch them into the bag, the pillow will look lumpy. 2. Keep rolling your bags and lay into the outer bag. Press the bags down after every 10 bags or so. Use as much as needed until you get it as firm as you like. 3. When you get the pillow form you desire, fold over the top of the outer bag and staple it closed. 4. Add one more line of staples to ensure the seam is secure. 5. Shape the plastic bag pillow form, to the size of an existing pillow form. 6. Place it in the pillow cover. Don't be afraid to press, mold, and shape it to fit your cover like a glove.

Glitter Balls * Cut a soda bottle into a spiral, and then cut the spiral into rings. * Attach 3 rings together using a th u mbtack at th e to p an d bottom, and then shape your ball. * Attach a string and let the kids have fun by decorating the environmentally friendly glitter balls.

EVENT ZONE Engel & Völkers takes the DARE The Engel & Völkers Cycle Team, along with 33 000 cyclists, took to the streets of Johannesburg on Sunday, 16th November to show their support of the DARE charity, who they represented in the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge . DARE is a focus group initiated by students with disabilities at The University of Johannesburg. Ilse Haward, Team Leader at Engel & Völkers Broadacres says, “to have the honour of representing the DARE group during this major cycling event is not only a humbling experience, but a cause we are excited to be behind and make the public aware of”. All 20 riders were kitted out in their shirts sponsored by Engel & Völkers Southern Africa and Andre van den Heever conveyancing attorneys. The cyclists also received their goodie bags sponsored by Engel & Völkers and Dischem which contained sunscreen, a gym towel and a water bottle. “The atmosphere at the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge was exhilarating, said Craig Hutchison, CEO of Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. “To have Engel & Völkers represented not only as cyclists but also at the watering points was truly an amazing experience and we will definitely be taking part again in the next challenge, with even more riders”, he added. Congratulations to all, the riders who participated this year. We look forward to next year’s event.

What is your next move?

ooking for a new exciting challenge in 2015? A real estate agent probably has one of the most interesting, diverse and rewarding careers.

The secret to the success of an Engel & Völkers sales advisor is their structured plan for each day. However the day's course can easily be altered due to unscheduled and unexpected yet welcome requests from a client, and their planned daily routine must then be adapted. This is not a tedious job. A successful Engel & Völkers sales advisor is a person who is well established in a specific suburb (their area of operation), are well informed of any new developments, have statistics of homes already sold, currently on the market, bought and built and also understands the lifestyle requests of their buyers. These skills assist them in filtering the properties to show prospective buyers, so that buyers do not become exasperated by being shown properties they have indicated will not suit them. At the same time the sales advisors are required to pre-qualify buyers to establish which price range they should be exposed to. All the top achieving agents within the Engel & Völkers Southern Africa group are trained, experienced, organised and excellent with customer relationship management (CRM). This CRM capability applies to any position in the workplace, because feedback to a client is highly appreciated and leads to word-of-mouth referrals. Each sales advisor has a selection of saleable properties to show to current and prospective buyers and their goals are their own – hence their successes. Definitely a stimulating career path. With the new Estate Agency Affairs Board regulations, agents need to have successfully completed the NQF4 and PDE4 exams by end of 2015. Although this new qualification requirement was first met with despair and

A real estate agent probably has one of the most interesting, diverse and rewarding careers. apprehension, the top achieving agents realise the incredible advantage and sales edge it gives them in this professional career, where unqualified agents will no longer be able to practice without first obtaining their qualification. In fact those agents already qualified are reassuring their colleagues that because of the invaluable knowledge they gained from their studies, they are now better equipped to provide a professional service to clients. When a home owner or buyer contracts the services of a qualified and established sales advisor, they know they can expect and trust the agent to provide dedicated attention and also a supply of professional information, and that this advisor will be able to negotiate the best possible price for both. This can be very rewarding to all the parties involved in the sales transaction as unnecessary technical issues would have been avoided due to a qualified sales advisor facilitating the process. With so many new local and national laws involving property ownership and property transactions, home owners and buyers are well advised to use the services of a qualified sales advisor. Wendy Williams, a director at Engel & Völkers Southern Africa proudly shares that “All Engel & Völkers Sales Advisors are required to attend mandatory induction training sessions at our international Training Academy. Thereafter ongoing additional training is provided to keep agents abreast of new developments, current policies and guidelines. Property buyers and sellers are encouraged to use the services of our sales advisors so that the selling process can be managed smoothly and that the processing of the legal documentation is followed through. We have made our mark in the very competitive local property market due to our international brand which is recognised and acknowledged as providing quality sales assistance.” Our agents have access to a wide range of E&V international and locally customised software and exciting marketing tools which are proving very effective in reaching the local and international market. Two of our in-house magazines can be viewed online by our clients – our international architecture and lifestyle magazine www.gg-magazine.com and our own local monthly magazine www.nationalguidetorealestate.co.za. Discuss the listing of your property in one of these magazines with your Engel & Völkers sales advisor, and collect your own personal copies from your closest Engel &Völkers office. What gives this career a further edge is the opportunity of meeting a diverse range of people, being invited into fascinating and spectacular homes and sharing in the relief and excitement when the offer to purchase is signed by both parties, a good reason to celebrate. And of course, the fact that you can generally work hours and times that suit your family and lifestyle. Wendy further encourages the consideration of a satisfying new career. “It is a wonderful opportunity for someone who is seeking a disciplined, demanding yet rewarding career, with limitless financial income prospects. Our working environment we offer is unique and distinct. If you are an existing agent or looking to start a brand new career path, contact us on 0860 22 77 77 for a confidential interview or visit our website to see our list of offices throughout South Africa – www.engelvoelkers.com/south-africa.

INDUSTRY NEWS

The 2015 property market We do expect a resumption of mild interest rate hiking in 2015. Whether this happens or not, time will tell, but it would certainly be prudent to heed the Governor's repeated warnings to this effect and prepare.

ith the new year of 2015 imminent, it is time to plan ahead. Often this is a daunting process as none of us have a crystal ball to predict the future, and maybe it is just as well. Riaan van Deventer, Head of Real Estate at Engel & Völkers Southern Africa shared “After our successful performance in 2014, we are not complacent to what can happen in 2015, but we are confident that our market share will continue to grow in South Africa and we expect stability through increased sales and a positive upward trend. We continuously aspire to further improving our level of service and commitment, so that the public can appreciate that our sales advisors can be trusted to provide them with ethical and valued assistance when negotiating the purchase or sale of possibly their most valued asset and largest financial investment.” Also we are aware that the continuously changing economic and political conditions can and will directly influence the property market. Due to the Engel & Völkers Group's truly international presence, Engel & Völkers Southern Africa have access to informed platforms which are primed to be sensitive to negative or positive market movements, so that their clients will receive updated market information.

“We are confident that the current house price growth will be sustained and that realistic asking prices will be achieved, and we can definitely expect the pattern of shortages of stock in the price ranges R1,5 million to R2,5 million in the main metro regions to continue” says Craig Hutchison, CEO of Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. “As our sales advisors are well prepared and informed of market-related prices, they will ensure that their buyers and sellers both benefit from the current economic situation. Our shops use a national deeds office database disclosing the value of homes in all areas, and this information assists us in producing accurate valuations” Craig added. If a property is marketed at the market related price, it should sell within 90 days or 3 months which will avoid the frustrations for the seller of a prolonged time and over-exposure on the market. We do know that we can expect above CPI inflation rate increases in the following tariffs in January 2015: § § §

ESKOM electricity costs will continue to rise significantly the cost per litre of water in most municipalities is also rising at a steady rate as are municipal rates and utilities

These factors will place increasing affordability constraints on everyone and we will be digging deeper into our pockets to pay for these increased costs and this will influence the price range that buyers will qualify to buy in. “These increases together with the expected interest rate increases in 2015, make it more imperative that prospective buyers utilise the services of our in-house EV Finance specialists to assist you in pre-qualifying your affordability, to ensure that you purchase a home that suits your pocket” says Riaan. Banks will remain cautious lenders to first-time buyers, so even more reason to contact Sandy Reddy, Head of EV Finance on 011 465 0410 or email info@evfinance.co.za for confidential advice and assistance. If you do receive an annual bonus in December, consider paying it into your home loan account every rand you pay in will make a difference on the number of years before the bond is repaid and the property is yours. The temptation to spend on nonessential items or gifts in December is huge, but becomes distressing at the end of January when you realise you over-spent during this time and this then creates unnecessary household financial pressure. §

In November the Reserve Bank thankfully agreed not to hike its policy Repo interest rate leaving our interest rates unchanged for the moment. This is good news for everyone with a home loan and should assist house prices to maintain reasonable growth.

According to Johan Loos, FNB Home Loans Strategist “We do expect a resumption of mild interest rate hiking in 2015. Whether this happens or not, time will tell, but it would certainly be prudent to heed the Governor's repeated warnings to this effect and prepare. The SARB has been moving slowly on rates, giving us time to prepare. We should use it. Setting debt repayments at significantly higher levels than the minimum required payment is one effective way to force oneself to prepare one's lifestyle for interest rate hiking.” New legislation is expected to be introduced during 2015, namely the Property Practitioners Bill, which is a revision of the existing Estate Agency Affairs Act of 1976. “At Engel & Völkers we always comply to and support new laws governing the real estate industry and once this new Bill is promulgated, we undertake to highlight the essential parts of the new Bill in a future edition of the National Guide magazine” Craig concluded. In conclusion, Riaan says that the expected limited 2015 interest rate hikes should not really have an impact on property prices and an upward growth trend will continue, despite a predicted tough year economically.We are confident and committed to provide exceptional service, and support our sales advisors with an array of premium quality business services, marketing programmes and tools as well as access to our global network of real estate professionals, property listings and market data.

LIFESTYLE

Create a seaside wonderland Based in the Southern Hemisphere, South African's experience a much warmer and sunnier Christmas than most. Movies often feature a traditional white Christmas, with snow and hot cocoa. We luckily have the advantage of a sunny holiday season, with beach time and cocktails in the mix. Instead of decorating your home with snowflakes and baubles, why not create a seaside wonderland with starfish and sea shells? Take inspiration from the white sandy beaches to use as the backdrop.

Decor tips for the festive break

Paper lanterns to set the scene Add a modern spin to your decor by using minimalist paper and tin decorations. Giant paper baubles and lanterns will set the scene with an elegant and soft look and feel. White enamel tin elements, such as tea light holders and pendant lights, are quite versatile and can be used for a number of parties. By recycling materials you have at home and transforming them into decor elements, you add a personal touch of your style at the same time saving money.

Blue hues Combining white with shades of blue and silver will create a fresh summer look with enough sparkle to pass as festive décor too. A complementary duo is white table linen and metallic blue baubles, then finish it off with silver tableware and candelabras for a more sophisticated look. If you are looking for a more casual setting, add touches of wood and sky blue décor.

Soft sparkles Simple and classic is better for Christmas lights. White and yellow fairy lights are charming in any outdoor space and can also be used to adorn table displays. Place the lights in lanterns in metal or timber finishes to create soft illumination.

To avoid the mess, opt for an alternative to a pine Christmas tree and go for a more contemporary and rustic tree, such as a simple timber geometric tree with shelves. This will give you extra storage space for gifts and allows for interesting ornament arrangements. For a rustic beach theme, create a tree from driftwood branches.

Wood for the trees

Adorned branches

Splashes of colour give a white theme a modern, fresh look. Use shots of bright colours such as magenta and turquoise. Spray paint existing décor items and collected branches and pine cones in white. Add an element of local flavour by using a springbuck instead of a reindeer head, in cardboard materials.

Create a beautiful hanging decoration that allows for more floor space. Do this by hanging up branches over your table display with fish gut. Spray paint the branch in a silver or gold finish for a more dramatic look and make sure which ever colour you select complements the décor scheme.
