How to make the most of household insurance.

No one likes having to claim but having insurance for your household contents is vital, and at the start of a new financial year, homeowners either applying for new household insurance or revising their existing insurance should take a comprehensive inventory of their possessions and keep track of the total value.

Why sell your home on a

Sole Mandate.

One of the most misunderstood

of commitment, risk and return on concepts in the process of selling investment associated with any healthy business partnership, and provides a property is an exclusive or sole peace of mind for the seller. mandate. “It is more beneficial to the seller to have the buyers competing to offer the Lanice Steward, head of training for best market-related price, than it is to Pam Golding Properties explains: have agents competing to close the “It’s useful to know that an exclusive deal at any cost, often putting the mandate is a formal instruction to an estate agent to have the exclusive right seller’s price at risk. to sell a client’s property for a period “For a buyer, it is very off-putting to see of time, while a sole mandate allows the same property, advertised in the for the homeowner to sell the property in their private capacity, too. same online space, but with conflicting images, prices and details. It’s almost like launching a new product and “Some sellers believe that the more allowing different sales teams to agents they have working on their package, price and market it differently, property, the higher their chance of selling the property, quickly. The fact is, leading to confusion in the marketplace. there is only one pool of buyers searching for property and if your property is priced correctly, the buyer Besides that, buyers should be able to will invariably end up with your chosen rest assured that the agent wants to close the deal as much as they do, but agent.” has an ethical obligation, as outlined by Steward says a single partnership with the Estate Agents Code of Conduct, to the right agent provides the same level represent the correct market-related value with integrity.

“Unfortunately, some agents will over-value properties in order to get an exclusive mandate. If you have been presented with two or more radically different prices from agents, interrogate them on how they reached that price – because, usually, one of them is wrong. Find out how they obtained their market condition information. “Also, remember that there is an obligation for a buyer to use the first agent with whom they see a property, however, buyers go out with as many agents as they can. Regrettably, there are agents who will discourage a buyer who is keen on a property simply because they weren’t the first to show it to them. “A professional agent will also know how to react and operate in markets where houses for sale are in high demand or over supply. You want the most knowledgeable and trustworthy professional to sell your valuable asset, someone with solid negotiation skills

backed by facts and honesty.” Adds Steward: “Ask your potential agent if the company’s marketing decisions and methods are driven by data eg can they provide personalised knowledge about your property and area? Do they have in-depth strategies regarding today’s digital journey for marketing a property? Are their offices and agents connected through a referral system that might benefit you? “Ideally, the exclusivity of the relationship allows the seller to hold the agent fully accountable for results and also, in the process, gives both parties the time to agree to any changes to the marketing and pricing strategy.”

My Pet, my rules?

The Actio de Pauperie and its consequences for pet owners. Owning a pet can be both rewarding and fulfilling with many pet owners adopting their pets as being part of the family. With the increase in dog-bite incidents since 2016, it’s no wonder people are extra cautious regarding their beloved furry friends. Can the owner of an animal be liable in law to compensate a victim for injuries they have suffered as a result of an attack? So, you’re on your weekly Sunday afternoon stroll around the neighbourhood and you’re suddenly confronted by the neighbours snarling Boerbull. You attempt to change street sides but before you’re able to execute your escape plan, the dog has already sunk its teeth into your calf. The Actio de Pauperie is an action founded in the law of Damages (or Delict) upon which these types of claims are based. The general rule is that the owner may be held liable by virtue of his ownership - even if faultless. In instances such as these, it is important for both the victim(s) and for domestic animal owner(s) to understand the principles of liability without fault and the legally recognisable defences available. The actio de pauperie can be traced back to the Law of the Twelve Tables. Here, it was first established that an individual who suffers prejudice by action or omission may claim for delictual damages from the owner of the domestic animal. Previously, the action was limited to actions involving cattle and the like however; it has since been extended to include domestic animals including dogs. The leading case in this regard is that of Fourie v Naranjo and Another 2008 (1) SA 192 (C) which sets out four requirements that a claimant must prove to successfully claim under this action. These are expounded upon:

1. The wrongdoer/defendant must be the owner of the domestic animal when the damage was inflicted. It is not sufficient to show that the person was exercising control over the animal. It is important to note, however, that a defendant who successfully shows that the animal was under the control of a third party at the time of the attack and the third party negligently failed to act then this requirement would not be satisfied and the defendant will have a valid defence to the action against him. 2. The animal must be a domesticated animal. In terms of this requirement there must be a distinction between wild animals that are presumed to be dangerous and domestic animals that are presumed to be docile. That being said, the action may still be applicable to in cases concerning certain domestic animals and therefore each case should be determined on its own merits. 3. The animal must have acted contrary to its nature (contra naturam sui generis) when inflicting the damage. This requirement involves an objective position being implemented in order to conclude whether the animal acted contrary to the behaviour that may reasonably be expected of an animal in the applicable species (Loriza Brahman en ’n Ander v Dippenaar 2002 (2) SA 477 (SCA) at 485).

In order for the plaintiff to prove negligence on the part of the defendant, the plaintiff will need to prove the requirements set out in the ‘reasonable person test’ as pronounced in Kruger v Coetzee 1966 (2) SA 428 (A),: • Whether a reasonable person in the position of the defendant would (a) foresee the possibility of his or her conduct causing injury to another or to the property of another and leading to subsequent patrimonial loss and (b) take reasonable steps to guard against this occurrence. • The defendant failed to take such steps.

Either way, pet owners ought to act rationally and ensure that their pets are properly monitored to prevent any incidents in the first place.
