A project which is going to take a couple of years to complete can yield solid capital gains in a relatively short space of time
property, while architectural guidelines are contemporary, incorporating the latest design trends and technology, and most importantly, allowing for the inclusion of new energy generation technology, which is expensive to retro-fit in existing homes. Given the major structural shifts we are seeing in terms of the way we are living and working, and the desire to “go green” or at least reduce our dependence on increasingly expensive government supplied utilities, such as electricity – particularly amid ongoing load shedding – there is much to be said for designing a home to reflect these new imperatives rather than trying to restructure an existing house. Apart from the appeal of modern design, new buildings offer the latest in digital security and fast bandwidth for residents, while many include air-conditioning and home automation. Green features are usually standard and include economical use of grey water and efficient hot water generation. Finally, buying into a newbuild offers buyers peace of mind in the form of building warrantees and once the development is complete, buyers have a period of time during which to inspect the property and create a snag list of defects which are then rectified at the developer’s cost.
