How Generation Z will Affect Future Sellers This might be a bitter pill to swallow for any Millennial readers, but this generation is no longer the youngest to enter the real estate market. There are already some within Generation Z, those born between 1995 and 2015, who are about to trade in their student loans for bond applications.
“Born with a smartphone in hand, this generation also prioritises face-to-face interactions even less than the generation that came before them. It is therefore likely that agents are going to have to make use of videos, virtual tours and short texts rather than real-life showings, coffee updates and phone calls. If this is the case, sellers will need to adjust to the fact that less physical viewings do not necessarily translate into less interest in the home,” he adds.
“We have not yet dealt with too many Generation Z customers, as the oldest within this generation are just 23. At this point in time, the interactions we’ve had with this generation is predominantly through our various rental agents, and even then, it’s usually the parents who are paying for their student accommodation rentals,” says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
“Sellers who want to appeal to this market will also need to consider the preferences of this age group. It is likely that this generation will prioritize smart home features and high-speed fibre internet connections over other features within the home. Also, as delivery apps such as UberEats continue to develop, kitchens might slowly begin to lose their place as the main selling point of the home. What’s more, Generation Z buyers might focus on aspects that make their property more appealing to the “But, we know that the time for this generation short-term rental and Airbnb markets so that to own property is but a few years away – and I they can still travel for parts of the year while predict that their emergence into the property paying off their home loan,” Goslett predicts market is going to cause some disruption to further. both sellers and real estate agents alike,” Goslett warns. Whichever way the market changes once this “Growing up in the era of snapchat and 15 second Instagram stories, this generation has even shorter attention spans than Millennials. Sellers are therefore going to have to ensure that their home creates instant appeal when a Generation Z buyer comes for a viewing. Likewise, real estate agents are going to have to ensure that the property’s best features are presented first on listing portals, and that all corresponding marketing material gets straight to the point if they want to be effective in their marketing to this generation,” says Goslett.
generation fully enters the equation, Goslett reminds sellers of the importance of partnering with a knowledgeable property professional who can guide them through the various current-day realities of selling their home. “A reliable real estate advisor will be aware of whether Generation Z buyers are already looking within their suburbs and will advise their sellers accordingly,” Goslett concludes.

How Repeat Buyers can Finance their new home. Most repeat buyers rely on the equity from the sale of their first home to finance their new home. However, the process of cancelling one home loan to take out another is not always simple. According to Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, homeowners should consult with a bond originator to help them better understand how to go about the process. “While experienced real estate professionals will be able to outline the general processes and procedures to follow, a bond originator will have the specialist expertise to know what each of the various banks require for these transactions. Consulting with a representative of both professions will help homeowners navigate the various complexities involved in transactions that involve more than one home loan,” Goslett explains. According to Mary Lindemann, Chief Operations Officer
Harcourts 033
of BetterBond, SA’s leading bond originator, sellers will need to continue the repayments on their existing bond until it is cancelled and the property is transferred to the name of the new buyer. Similarly, when they buy a new home, they will not be required to start making bond repayments on that property until it is registered in their name.
Goslett therefore advises homeowners to prioritise their home loan repayments, adding extra sums to their repayments where possible. “When the time comes to apply for another home loan, partial or skipped payments will count against you. On the other hand, adding a little extra to your monthly instalment from time to time will count in your favour when it comes to negotiating an interest rate on a new home loan.”
“To avoid having to pay two bond repayments at once, repeat buyers therefore usually add a suspensive clause to their Offer To Purchase (OTP) on the new home that makes the offer subject to the sale of their existing property and the simultaneous transfer of the two properties. Generally, there is a time limit on the sale of the existing property and once this happens, the transferring attorneys will then As a final word of advice, Goslett reminds homeowners co-ordinate the registration of the transfers,” Lindemann that advice is freely and readily available for any homeexplains. owner who is considering buying or selling. “If you are unsure of what processes need to be followed and what This suspensive clause is also critical when the bank you can afford, your first step should be to book a assesses the repeat buyer for the affordability to purchase a consultation with a bond originator who will be able to new property.

Circumstances in which an unborn child can inherit from a Deceased Estate It is often scary to think about the future wellbeing of one’s children and/or grandchildren, once you no longer around. Individuals tend to ensure that their children and/or grandchildren are protected and catered for in their Last Will and Testaments. But what is the position when it comes to unborn children? Are they entitled to inherit? What is the position when there is no Last Will and Testament?
Ex Parte Boedel Steenkamp In Ex Parte Boedel Steenkamp2, the testator left the residue of his estate to his daughter and to the first generation “wat by datum van dood in die lewe is”. The testator’s daughter was pregnant at the time of his (the testator’s) death and subsequently gave birth to Paul Johannes. The executor to the estate sought a declaratory order on the issue of whether only the children born at the time of the testator’s death would inherit or if Paul Johannes, born after the death of the testator, would also be able to inherit.
The circumstances in which an unborn child can inherit will be briefly discussed in this article.
Curator ad litem for Gerda and Daniel Johannes (the two children already born) held that the words “wat by datum van dood in die lewe is” is sufficient enough and without Legal Subjectivity ambiguity to exclude the unborn child from the estate. The Law of Persons in South Africa regulates the birth, Curator ad litem for Paul Johannes was of the opposite private-law status and the death of a natural person. It opinion stating that there is no evidence that the testator wished to exclude the unborn child from his will. determines the requirements and qualifications for legal personhood or subjectivity in South Africa, and The legal questions were as follows: the rights and responsibilities that attach to it. Does the nasciturus have the legal capacity to inherit? Is Paul Johannes entitled to a share of the estate? Legal subjectivity of a child begins at birth. A foetus/unborn child therefore has no rights or duties Judge De Villiers R held that the nasciturus should be able or capacities. However, there are certain measures in to inherit by means of the nasciturus fiction subject to South African law which provide for protection of being born alive and it being to the advantage of the foetuses/unborn children. nasciturus. He further held that Paul Johannes is entitled to share in the estate of the testator in equal amounts to his Nasciturus Fiction mother, brother and sister. Nasciturus fiction, is the legal principle in which Judge De Villiers R referred to the decision of House of foetuses if subsequently born alive, will acquire all of Lords in Elliot v Lord Joicey where the court held that if the rights of born children whenever this is to its the testator’s intentions are not clear, when words as “in advantage. Pinchin and Another NO v Santam Insurance Co Ltd also confirmed that this principle extends lewe” or “gebore” are used in conjunction with a specific time line and there is no other specific statement specifito the law of delict.

In terms of nasciturus fiction, unborn child can acquire rights of succession. An unborn child can therefore inherit by Testate Succession in the case where the Deceased has left behind a Last Will and Testament or Intestate Succession in the case where there is no Last Will and Testament, provided that he or she is born alive and would have come into consideration by the testator as an heir. For avoidance of doubt and to ensure protection of a foetus/unborn child or children, one can include provisions for an foetus/unborn child or children along with living family members in a Last Will and Testament. As seen above, there are circumstances in which an unborn child can inherit when subsequently born alive in terms of Testate or Intestate Succession. It is, however, still important to ensure that provisions are made for your unborn child/children in your Last Will and Testament to ensure that they are protected if born alive.
