Security, an important tenant requirement...
Despite the fluctuating economy and current rental trends, two factors remain constant when tenants select rental property: cost and location and SA tenants demand security and proper parking. But there are a few other factors that also influence the decision-making process and in South Africa some of the most prominent of these are security and parking. Given the national crime statistics it is obvious that a tenant will always endeavour to secure a rental property with adequate security features, something which becomes even more important if it involves a family and children. Security is one of the main reasons behind the popularity of gated estates in this country. Here children can run and play in relative safety and husbands that travel a lot feel at ease when away from home, knowing there is a security guard at the gate and neighbours close by.
adding a garage or secure undercover parking. Tenants are all too aware that cars can easily get damaged being parked on the side of the street. Cars coming down the street misjudge the distance and can take off a side view mirror or swipe the car causing major damage. Parking a car within a secure property or garage can prevent vandals from smashing the car window to steal a radio or prevent the car from getting keyed or the tires from getting stolen. Even by just pulling a car into a driveway or parking bay will make it less noticeable to car thieves. And a car thief has more risk going onto a property to steal a car versus taking it right off the street. These are issues a potential tenant will consider when deciding on the suitability of your property.
Parking is another critical consideration for tenants, whether it is a free-standing house or a complex. Studies have shown that one of the top ten features buyers look for when purchasing a property is a garage or secure off-street parking, and tenants are no different. Adding a garage, driveway, or other parking area to your rental property is a sensible idea and a worthy investment. As a matter of fact, the value such a space adds to your property can outweigh the cost of building it. Therefore, if you do not have off-street parking at your rental property already, consider

Many insurance companies have special rates for customers who can park their cars in lock up garages or at least behind a lockable gate as opposed to parking on the street. This makes a property with a lock up garage more appealing to tenants as it allows them to save on their insurance rates or at the very least maintain their current rate.
There are other obvious benefits, such as comfort. It is much easier to unload items from your car such as grocery bags, or When it comes to freestanding houses security is a potential luggage from a long trip. You can simply pull into your deal breaker for tenants. Can they keep a dog, does the driveway or garage and unload your car. It goes without saying house have an alarm system and an armed response unit that in most cases a double garage will be more desirable than contracted to respond in an emergency? How secure is the a single garage, especially if tenants require additional storage neighbourhood? Security is always top of mind for tenants, space for items such as bikes or garden equipment. However if and landlords would benefit from ensuring that they offer a a house is small and the area mostly feature houses with single secure rental. garages, this becomes less of an issue. Security however is a broad term and when it comes to rentals crime is not the only thing tenants consider. The safety of structures on the property can be equally important. Tenants will be deterred by what are considered to be hazardous structural situations. These could include such things as loose railings, obvious electrical problems, unsafe swimming pools and unprotected and unfenced drop-offs. It is certainly in the best interest of the landlord to address such hazards before inviting tenants for viewings.
COPY TO BE SET:
When it comes to a complex a good parking spot is a prized possession and more than one parking can seriously up the appeal of a rental property. But within a complex the chance of disagreements over parking spaces is also to be expected. When potential tenants come for a viewing let them know exactly which garages or parking bays are attached to the unit. Then ensure that the body corporate enforces the parking rules to the letter. That means warning letters and notices to tenants who break the rules and calling the tow truck when it becomes necessary. In most cases security measures and the availability of parking is within the control of the landlord, which means that you can enhance the viability of your rental property and so secure your investment.

Finding the right Estate Agent When deciding to sell a property the first debate comes in as to whether to engage the services of an Agent or sell Privately? There are many pros and cons to both options, but to get more out of your first home sale, it is recommended that you go through a qualified Estate Agent. Here is why: While selling a home privately seems like a great way to save money, it also means that you will have to do all the hard work yourself. This includes deciding on a selling price, marketing the house, being available for show days, paying advertising costs and negotiating the sale. Often, the main reason a Seller uses the services of a qualified Estate Agent to sell their property is for the convenience. The Estate Agent, because of their expertise, is better equipped at handling the sale process and takes on much of the responsibility on your behalf.
10
Because an Estate Agent works for commission, it is in his or her best interest to help you sell your home successfully by finding the correct calibre of potential Buyers. The most common ways to find an Estate Agent are via word of mouth, sign boards in your area and online. • If an Estate Agent has a good reputation, Sellers will recommend them. So ask around and get an idea of who can potentially work well with selling your property. • If an Estate Agent has ‘For Sale’ sign boards displayed in your area, this will often mean that they have experience in selling property in your neighbourhood. • When searching online, you will often find a more extensive list of registered Estate Agencies and Estate Agents who are active in your area. It’s important that an Agent has a good online reputation as well. The more avenues that an Estate Agent makes use of, the better the chance they have of reaching potential Buyers. It is beneficial should your chosen
Estate Agent belong to a reputable Estate Agency, whether small or large, as the backing of a well-known Estate Agency with good market experience can increase your chances of a successful sale. Your Estate Agent should also be able to demonstrate that he or she has experience in selling houses as well as the necessary qualifications (an Estate Agent needs to produce proof that he or she is a registered Agent with the Estate Agencies Affairs Board). What is an Estate Agent’s commission? When selecting an Estate Agent, it is always a good idea to ask for their commission fees and figures. This is important because these amounts can vary between Estate Agents. This commission is seen as a fee for marketing and selling your home and is fully negotiable. There is no fixed amount marked for commission but it is currently benchmarked at a recommended 3% 7.5% of the selling price, which is dependent on the value of a home.
Should your property not sell, the commission fee becomes null and void and all marketing costs will be covered by the selected Agency. When a Seller contracts an Estate Agent to sell a home, he or she will be required to sign a marketing sales agreement. The sale agreement will stipulate details of the services offered by the Estate Agent and other legally required information such as commission fee percentage, mandate details, a comprehensive marketing plan and expiry date of contract. The marketing plan will state where the property will be advertised and details regarding which property portals will host the property listing. The expiry date of the sale agreement is the date by which the property must be sold. Failing this, the Seller has the right to cancel the contract or take on another Estate Agent.

Taking ownership of your first home Congratulations on buying your first home! Before you move in with your set of keys in hand, find out about your duties as a home. If you have made it to this step, then you have finally reached your dream of home ownership. From this date onwards you will be responsible for payments, maintenance and your own financial wellbeing. It’s important to keep up to date with your duties, as your new home is now an asset, one which you should take excellent care of. Look after your home in the following ways: Smart bond repayments:

Buying a property and taking out a bond to finance the purchase is a long-term commitment. Once you can afford it, try to pay over and above the required repayment amount. Alternatively, you can speak to the Bank and request your bond to be readjusted according to your new affordability levels. By doing this you can reduce your overall repayment term. Never miss your payments! If you miss your payment, your account will fall into arrears which can lead to a letter of demand, or worse, foreclosure. If you are having trouble meeting your payments, speak to your Bank and find a solution to suit you and your pocket.
upgrade, don’t wait longer than necessary as this will affect your home's value over time. • Ask the previous home owners questions: Before the Seller hands over the keys, ask them as much as possible. If you need to replace, update or redo your home in any way they might well be able to advise you. Additionally, ask for the specific instructions needed for operating gates, security systems, pool pumps, satellite installation etc. Ownership of a home, such as a house or a flat, gives a home owner exclusive rights over the property. The owner is entitled to possess and occupy his or her property which means that you won’t need permission to paint your exterior walls, or even to charge rent. The only situation in which permission is needed is when a certain action affects the municipality or your neighbours. If you own property through a sectional title scheme, you have rights to your unit internally, and any other changes will be made through a body corporate at their approval. Owners in sectional title can only change the management rules by means of a unanimous resolution. First-time home buyers, young professionals and couples alike will agree that home ownership is a great way to start building wealth, self-worth and stability.

Despite the fact that the initial costs can be high, the benefits will outweigh these because over the years your home will only appreciate in value. A home owner will also be rewarded in terms of privacy and freedom. Therefore, it is always worth aspiring to own your own home.

RENTED BY MANY, OWNED BY FEW: BECOMING A SECTIONAL TITLE OWNER Thinking of buying the section of the flat you renting? You can go from being a tenant to an owner of your flat. “When you buy into a sectional title complex or development you purchase a section(s) and an undivided share of the common property”. Common property includes external walls of sections or units, corridors, roads or areas used for facilities or amenities within the Sectional Title Scheme.
Sectional Title is simply defined as separate ownership of units or sections within a complex. Blocks of flats or complexes that many of us live in are governed by the Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986 and Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act 8 of 2011. Sectional title developments are governed by a body corporate, which is the collective name given to all the owners of units within any particular complex. The body corporate is mainly responsible for managing the Sectional title scheme and taking care of its finances. “The body corporate also lays down rules that all the owners have to adhere to. Just like everything in life Sectional title ownership has its advantages and disadvantages which includes the following: Advantages: • An owner of a unit or section in a sectional title scheme automatically becomes a member of the scheme’s body corporate. • Sectional titles have a greater sense of communal life, which allows for interaction forming close knit communities. • It is perceived to be more secure.
• Buying into a sectional title scheme maybe more affordable than buying into a freehold property (freehold property defined as an estate “free from hold”, meaning the owner of that estate enjoys free ownership for property and can use the land for any purpose in accordance with the regulations.) • The costs of living in a sectional title are often lower because the costs of maintaining the commune property are shared by all owners. • Sectional title units are popular in rental market and usually leased out easily. Disadvantages: • The owner will need to comply with the management rules and conduct rules as determined by the body corporate, even though the sectional title owner may not agree with some of the rules. • Owners of sectional title units do not have the freedom to alter, renovate or expand their sections without the approval of the body corporate. In terms of Section 24 of the Sectional Titles Act, any owner wishing to extend his/her section needs to apply to the body corporate for approval. Once you have received the approval the owner will need to arrange a draft sectional plan of extension (indicating exactly how you wish to extend and how far, because there is a specific extension, percentage you cannot exceed.) • All owners are jointly and separately liable for the debt of the body corporate. • Being part of sectional title owner can be costly as it includes additional costs such as having to pay levies whereas a tenant you just pay your rent. • If you do not obey the rules as a Sectional title owner, you can be fined by the body corporate.
What does it mean when you become a Sectional Title owner?
It means that you, yes you who purchased a section of the complex, become a joint owner of the common property of the sectional title scheme. This also means that being a sectional title owner you have more responsibilities as opposed to being a tenant. The responsibilities include the following: • Owners of units or sections must comply with the body corporate rules. • Taking care of your unit so that common property and other units are not damaged. • Paying the levy on time, the levy is paid monthly (the purpose of the levy is so that the body corporate as enough money to pay for all the expenses for the common property such as, insurance premiums, wages/salaries of cleaners and security.) Want to become a Sectional title owner? Ensure that you gather all the information you need know, investigate the sectional title scheme, consider all the legal implications of sectional title ownership by getting in touch with Randles Attorneys, who will ensure that you are fully aware of all your legal rights under the sectional title. Invest into a sectional title fully educated.
