Why Pre-Approval Matters Have you ever left the house without first checking the weather forecast?

Confident that you know how the day will turn out, you pop on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and head out. Soon, the weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse and you’re sat shivering in the corner with nothing but a serviette to cower under. Beginning your house hunting without first acquiring pre-approval on a home loan is similar to this – only much worse. The feeling of not having enough cover from your home loan will leave you exposed to the chilling element of bitter disappointment.

“Imagine falling in love with a property after many months of searching. Picture the immense joy of discovering that your offer has been accepted. Now, imagine what it would feel like to have the rug pulled out from under you when you realise that you cannot qualify for the required home loan amount. The disappointment of losing out on their dream home often leaves homeowners unwilling to continue the search, delaying or even grinding the process to a halt altogether,” explains Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian Goslett.

background checks before they could grant you an amount,” says Goslett.

“Financial institutions, therefore, provide a pre-approval facility that allows consumers the opportunity to discover what they can truly afford. Consumers can either apply at banks directly and do all the legwork themselves, or they can work through a bond originator like BetterBond who will do the checks for you for free and will provide the pre-approval certificate within 24 hours.”

Thankfully, owing to advances in technology, the whole process is really quite simple. To apply for pre-approval, Goslett explains that buyers will need to have their latest payslip, three months’ worth of bank statements, and a copy of their ID on hand and the whole process can be done online. “Once issued, the pre-qualification will state the bond amount, interest rate and instalment amount for which you qualify.

However, buyers should be cautioned that these amounts are only 100% finalised after the bank has completed a property valuation and has received a signed Offer to Purchase on the property in question,” Goslett warns.

“Not only will having a pre-approval certificate provide you with the assurance you need to begin your property hunt without any trepidation, but it also lets sellers know that you are a serious buyer.

This often makes them more willing to work around your schedule when coming for viewings.

But, by far the most important advantage is that, should it come to the point where more than one buyer has put in an offer, the pre-approval will boost the chances of your offer being the one that is accepted,” Goslett concludes.

While acquiring pre-bond approval might seem like an unnecessary item of admin that you simply do not have the time for, buyers are regularly surprised by what they thought they could afford and what the banks would grant them when it finally reached that point in the process. “While the various online affordability Source: My Property calculators do a great job for providing buyers with a rough idea of what they could afford, they by no means guarantee a loan amount. For that kind of assurance, financial institutions would first need to run a number of credit and

THE SALE OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY WITH ELECTRIC FENCE SYSTEMS

Most Sellers and Buyers of immoveable property are, by now, aware that on the sale of such property, it is a legal requirement that a certificate be provided (normally at the sellers cost ) which is to be issued by an accredited electrical contractor, and which is to provide that the electrical installation serving the property is reasonably safe, and complies with the specific requirements for such installations as set out in Regulation 7 of the Regulations framed under the Machinery and Occupational Safety Act No 85 0f 1993 .

more, the electric fence certificates are transferable from one user to another.

Equally, most Sellers and Buyers of immoveable property are uncertain as to what the position is should the property sold have an electric fence system serving it. There has been a further promulgation under the Machinery and Occupational Safety Act, Regulation 12, which deals specifically with the issue of electric fences.

Two areas of uncertainty do exist in regard to these certificates, however. The first is that the regulation imposes a duty on the “user” of the system to procure the certificate. Who then, is the user? It is not always certain that the landowner is the user. In a lease of property situation, the tenant could be said to be the user. If this be so, then the tenant of property served by an electric fence system is obliged to procure the certificate. This obligation might seem unduly harsh in the standard short term residential lease example.

In the first instance, after 1st October 2012, no person may design, manufacture, sell, install, or, for the first time, use an electric fence/energizer , unless the entire system complies with the technical requirements set out in such Regulation ( These technical issues will not be discussed in this commentary ) This in layman’s terms requires that every user or lessor of an electric fence erected after 1st October, must have a certificate of compliance from an accredited contractor, which confirms that the system complies with the requirements of Regulation 12. These certificates, unlike the normal electrical compliance certificates, do not expire; provided there has been no alteration nor addition to the system (Normal electrical compliance certificates are valid for 2 years only). Further-

If ones electric fence was erected prior to 1st October 2012, these regulations do not affect one, UNLESS, as mentioned before, there has been an alteration or addition thereto, or there is a change in ownership of the underlying land on which the fence system has been erected. In either event, a Regulation 12 certificate is required.

Insofar as the sale of conventional land served by an electric fence system after 1st October is concerned, the position is simple. The “user” must be in possession of a compliance certificate for the fence. As the issue of such certificate is not a prerequisite to registration, transfer in the buyer’s favour could occur without the required certificate having been issued; the unfortunate buyer now becomes the “user”, and it is his obligation to ensure that a certificate is secured.

Although this is not certain, there seems to be room to argue that in a short term lease, the Landlord is more the user of the system than the Tenant, in that he “used” the existence of the system as part of the property’s attraction to a potential tenant, and may do so again and again. The position of who the “user “ might be does, it would seem, appear far more clear in long term ( normally commercial or industrial ) leases. Here the argument that the Tenant is the user is far more compelling than is the case with short term leases

obligation to provide the certificate falls on the seller/buyer or the landlord/tenant can be avoided by making the issue of on whose shoulders the liability rests very plain in the relevant sale/lease document .

The second area of uncertainty arises in the sale of units within a Sectional Title Scheme. Originally, some commentators argued that the sale of a Section did not constitute a change in ownership of the underlying land on which the electric fence system had been erected. Thus, it was argued, the sale of a Section post 1st October 2012 did not trigger the need for a certificate in respect of any perimeter electric fence serving the scheme. It is submitted that this view is incorrect Every owner of a Section within a sectional Scheme is issued a title deed to his section and to an undivided share in the common Property. It is this Common property which, in most instances, constitutes the underlying land on which the fence system is erected.

On the sale of a Section, the Seller simultaneously disposes of a share in the underlying land. There is therefore, a change in the ownership of the land on which the fence system is erected, and so a Regulation 12 certificate is required. If this obligation rests with a single person selling, the price could be horrendous.

Consider the plight of the unfortunate seller of a section not on the perimeter of a scheme comprising hundreds of units. He cannot, on his own, be said to be the “User” of the system, it is used by all owners collectively. When Sectional Owners act collectively they are, in effect, the Body corporate, the answer then to the question “who is the user of an Electric fence System within a Sectional Scheme? “, is quite clear. The user can only be the Body corporate, and as user, the Body Corporate must procure the certificate.

Accordingly, Sectional Owners might wish to ensure that the Body Corporate DOES have a regulation 12 certificate for any electric fence serving the scheme. Once such certificate has been procured, it does not expire, and as it is transferable, future sales of sections will not trigger the need for further certificates
