Hire a (good) letting agent and then relax! Whether you're an investor who owns several rental properties or a homeowner who is keen to tenant your property while you're away on a work contract, you can simplify the process by hiring a good letting agent, says Berry Everitt, CEO of the Chas Everitt International property group. "The fees charged by such agents are usually around 10% of the monthly rental, but seasoned landlords all know that the peace of mind which comes from having a professional to handle the lease, wrangle the tenants and manage the property in your absence is worth every cent.

“Make sure you read this document carefully and do not sign it if there's any part that is unclear or that you don't agree with.” Similarly, says Everitt, you should check out the lease agreement your agent will be using and ensure that it complies with the Rental Housing Act, the Consumer Protection Act and various other legislation affecting landlords and tenants. "Remember, this document is actually a binding legal agreement between you and your tenant, so once again you should not sign it unless you are happy with it.

"And if there are any special or additional instructions you want your agent or tenant to follow, you must put them in writing, date them and append them to the lease. No one is looking for a dispute with their tenant or agent, but it is "The real question is, then, how to choose your always better to have things in black-and-white." letting agent?

retire happily and avoiD these price-impacting pitfall At first glance, downscaling seems synonymous with financial gain and it should be, but often, says property expert Lanice Steward of the Pam Golding Property Group, there are a few common mistakes that can easily be avoided. Here are a few tips to consider before you leap into the joyful-freedom of not maintaining a large property during your retirement years.

Calculate your number of moves Is your next move a simple downscale into an apartment or smaller home, or are you ready for a retirement lifestyle? If it’s a downscale, remember that property is a long term investment, so give yourself time. Remember that your lovely new lock-up-and-go, or seaside cottage, needs an average of five years to appreciate in value to ensure financial gain. And when you factor in that selling a home includes transfer and commission fees, you don’t really want to transact twice in a short time. Allow time for the investment to pay for itself.

Waiting endlessly for the right price Once you have made the emotional decision to move on, don’t be swayed by the well-meaning financial advisor who insists that you wait for the ‘right price’. Two years co uld go by and you may get that price, but remember that in that time you have also accrued the rates and taxes as well as the high utility and maintenance costs of owning a large home. Throw out before you go to market The fact is that ‘de-personalised’ properties sell faster and achieve better prices, this is

because the new buyer can more easily visualise themselves in your space. If you have lived in your home for a long time, don’t wait to de-clutter, cluttered homes make a house look old. And that’s not you, you’re just starting an exciting new journey. Enjoy it. If you are considering the exciting step of moving on, we recommend contacting Pam Golding Properties to find out more about the prices in your area and to obtain professional advice or a market evaluation.

Opening of a Sectional Title Register Here you are on the dawn of a new year considering becoming a sectional title owner. The following denotes some of the important things you may need to know or keep in mind from development to the transfer. At this point the property ceases to be conventional and becomes a sectional title. It all starts when the developer acquires property or land. The developer will then prepare a sectional plan which must be approved by the local Surveyor General Office and registered with the local or relevant Registrar of Deeds. Construction on the building or buildings must be complete or sufficiently complete in order that the correct and actual measurements of the units / sections can be taken. The sectional plan shows how the building / buildings are divided into sections and displays the designated common areas. Sections are individually owned but the designated common areas are owned by all the owners in specific shares / portions. The developer must then lodge and register the sectional plans with the local Registrar of Deeds, this also encompasses the opening of a sectional title register for a new sectional scheme including its rules. The following must be lodged with the

Registrar of Deeds:

1. Application under section 11(1) of the Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986. 2. Title deed of the land / property. 3. Sectional plan. 4. Schedule of conditions in terms of section 11(3)(b) of the Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986 read with regulation 10(3).

5. Rules for the scheme. 6. Documents for the extension of thescheme. 7. Consent by mortgagee and mortgage bond. 8. Certificate of real of exclusive use areas – if required. 9. Certificate of real right of extension – this allows the developer the right to extend the scheme right by erecting buildings for a stipulated period of time. 10. Certificates of registered title. The new owners must bear in mind that the developer can only begin construction once funding has been secured. The developer then transfers the units / sections to a third party, this establishes the body corporate. The body corporate is made up of the owners of the units and common area within a sectional title scheme and is officially established upon the first transfer of the first unit. The developer will then call a meeting within 60 days of the body corporate being established and this is where the sectional plans as well as the rates clearance certificate are handed over to the new owners. The peace of mind that comes with owning sectional title schemes provides people who cannot afford conventional land the benefit of sharing in expenses but still receiving a 24-hour laundry service, gym, swimming pool, tennis court, large garden space and other amenities. There are various advantages and disadvantages of opening a sectional title register:

- Advantages: 1. No delays in waiting for town planning approval from the municipality once the plans have been approved construction can promptly begin. 2. Less costs involved when it comes to municipal services – electricity, water and sewerage. 3. Easy management. You set the rules, while they may not be unreasonable or unconstitutional, they may be strict.

- Disadvantages: 1. Before the sectional can be registered the whole unit must be complete or substantially complete so that the actual and precise measurements can be taken into consideration. 2. The gardens are part of the common area and are jointly owned by all the owners, however, it is possible to register an exclusive right to a specific area known as an “exclusive use area” e.g. parking space. 3. Rules you may not agree with. Sections are often transferred simultaneously. Sectional title register will the deemed to be open when all the deeds have been signed by the registrar. When purchasing a sectional title ensure that you know exactly what you are signing up for or investing in. Be mindful of the following: 1. What you own and what is owned by all the owners collectively. 2. Understand the financial implications involved in the transfer as well as the generally maintenance of the facilities. 3. Ensure that the architect and land surveyors are registered with their respective authorities. 4. The contract of sale should always be clear and concise, and any funds should be held in the trust account of the developer’s attorney or estate agency until the unit / section is registered in the new owner’s name. 5. Know the levies and rates. 6. Know the value of your vote. Stay informed every step of the way, once registered, enjoy your sectional title.
