Should you,

rent or buy a property? With an investment in property being the biggest financial commitment many will ever make, it’s hard to know when it’s the right time to buy, or whether to rent. Two property specialists share their advice. “When making your decision”, says Brian van Wijk who owns and actively manages multiple Just Property franchises in Gauteng, “look at the current economic climate, your own financial situation and your long-term goals, but be aware that the sooner you get into the market, the better.” “Typically, rent is around 0.75% of the value of a property. If you find a property priced at a point where your bond repayments would be close to what the market-related rent would be, you should seriously consider buying rather than renting,” says Van Wijk. “But make a list of the advantages and disadvantages, taking into account the long-term commitments, affordability, costs and flexibility.”

“If you wait for the perfect time, you may wait forever. One must be careful of becoming too fearful because of any temporary political or economic issues – property will always give good returns in the long run. At Just Property we are optimistic that the recent easing of interest rates will be repeated. A second decline will take some of the pressure off consumers. Already we see consumer confidence returning.” What happens if interest rates begin to rise? Would it be best to rent an affordable home, take the extra you’d be putting into a bond and invest that saving to earn the higher interest? Van Wijk suggests you seek specialist financial advice if you’re thinking along these lines. “Remember, this may seem like a good idea on paper, but it will only work if you are prepared to rent a home at a rate that leaves you with money to invest in high-interest vehicles, and you will need the discipline to put that money aside every month. Few people have such discipline,” cautions Van Wijk.

Du Bois notes that the interest rate always fluctuates. “One may argue that the best time to purchase is when the interest rate is at its peak, when the property market is under pressure and you can take advantage of the bargains available. After your purchase, interest rates should fall and the market should Shaun du Bois, a Just Property principal and franchisee in recover, giving you lower interest rates on your bond and a KwaZulu-Natal, adds that short-term commitments should healthy profit when you sell. If you buy when rates are low, also be considered. “For example, if you are on a short-term consider your budget carefully and ensure it allows for an contract in a new city, it would be best to rent: the cost of interest rate increase. If your budget is tight, it might be best finance and transfer fees make purchasing a property unwise to ask the bank to fix your bond amount.” in almost all such cases. Buying and selling every few years makes little sense once you factor in all the costs. For many Seek financial advice years, most of your bond repayment is interest and it is only further down the line that the capital starts to be repaid in Both Just Property experts recommend getting financial any meaningful way.” advice, especially if you’re buying an investment property or second home. An accountant will help you consider the As Du Bois implies, buying property should be considered a implications of capital gains tax, optimise the day-to-day secure long-term investment. But in our fluctuating income that would be received on income properties, how economic climate is buying property still a good idea? best to structure the purchase of property specific to your goals and circumstances, and possibly the entity in which Is it better to buy in a growing economy or a declining one? property is to be held. “If your goal is to own the property for a long time, don’t let your perception of economic conditions hold you back,” says Du Bois. “Over time, the value of your property will increase. It is wise to buy when you can get the property at the best price possible, with the potential of immediate equity in the property. Buying in a growing economy will result in immediate profit should you have to sell, which may not be possible if you sell in a declining market. However, a downturn in the economy does bring opportunities, hard as this truth may be. There are bargains to be had when sellers are in financial distress.”

Are the scenarios different for a person in their early 40s and a young person in their late 20s? Van Wijk notes that the consequences of a bad decision are far greater as you get older, but at 40 you still have the chance to pay off a 20-year home loan before you retire. “You could even buy a home in a retirement village now and rent it out until you retire. Starting young has significant advantages.” Du Bois agrees: “One only needs to look at what properties sold for 20 years ago to know that the sooner one purchases the better.”

“Remember Warren Buffet’s words: ‘Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful’,” says Du Bois. Source – Just Property Group

Unregistered estate agents don’t qualify for commission.

If an estate agent didn’t have a Fidelity Fund Certificate, a valid license to operate when they sold or rented a property, legally they are not permitted to receive any remuneration for their services. More than this, they are not even allowed to operate as an estate agent, much less earn a living from the trade.

the official industry body putting measures in place to verify the legitimacy of estate agents, and that’s exactly what’s happened. A new counter-fraud device provided by PrivySeal is now mandatory for all registered estate agents and distinguishes the genuine operators from the fakes.

IEASA, REBOSA, NAMA and SAIA, all registered estate agents and registered estate agency enterprises must display their EAAB Privyseals as a means of countering qualification fraud and protecting the public and legitimate estate agents,” says Margie Campbell, Marketing Manager at the EAAB.

Attorney and the inspiration behind PrivySeal, Stephen Logan, explains that a Privyseal is a digital seal of authenticity that only displays if a qualification has been verified as genuine. More than that, it displays the date and time a qualification was last checked.

“If your estate agent doesn’t have an EAAB Privyseal, they have very likely not been issued with a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate by the EAAB. In terms of the Estate Agency Affairs Act, unregistered estate agents are not entitled to any remuneration for estate agency services “With qualifications digitally checked every rendered. few minutes, the process provides real-time online verification,” says Logan. “By clicking on What’s alarming about this truth is that, a Privyseal, consumers can access details about according to the Estate Agency Affairs Board the qualification holder, including their (EAAB), about 10 years ago there were as many registered contact details which are drawn as 80 000 registered estate agents whereas from the database of the qualification today this figure is sitting somewhere in the authority.” region of 30 000. A tally that’s greatly reduced, Logan adds that anyone with an EAAB if still in business, that puts 50 000 as the Privyseal, an agent or agency, is able to prove number of agents potentially operating that they are properly registered and their illegally in SA and, from all accounts, many fall current good standing has been verified. “By outside the realm of legitimate operators. working with a registered professional, What this means for consumers is they could consumers have greater protection and avoid paying commission.

This is Already being used by a wide range of particularly true in the case of a property sale organisations, including the Institute of where transactions generally involve vast sums Directors, Law Societies and the South African of money.

Campbell says estate agencies had better take note: they will forfeit their share of the commission if their agents are non-compliant. To date, over 19 000 EAAB Privyseals have been issued to compliant estate agents. EAAB Privyseals must be displayed by all registered estate agents in their email signature, their online and social media profiles, alongside property listings and in all marketing material. “If your estate agent isn’t showing off their EAAB Privyseal in their email, ask to see it or look for another estate agent, because if

they aren’t proudly displaying this certification, they could possibly be operating illegally under the radar. An advanced authentication system that protects consumers in an age where cybercrime, identity theft and fraud are at an all-time high - PrivySeal is the next frontier in proving people are the real deal,” says Campbell. An EAAB Privyseal will reflect the current date and time, but to further corroborate the information, check it links to the agent’s hyperlinked EAAB Certificate of Verification on www.privyseal.com. While you could request a copy of their fidelity fund certificate, the strength of a Privyseal is the company constantly checks the EAAB database making it more reliable than a printed Fidelity Fund Certificate that could potentially have been withdrawn or doctored. Privyseals are already being displayed by registered estate agents on recognised industry sites like property24.com.

Subdivision of Urban Land Demystified...

regulated a single activity. There is one redeeming feature of SPLUMA, however, in that the controlling authority in determining whether to approve an application to subdivide urban land was, yet again, the relevant local authority. We do not, therefore, have two potential controlling authorities as was the case prior to the PDA of 2008.

In the past, the subdivision of land situate in urban Kwazulu-Natal, was governed by two Provincial Ordnances. Firstly, in the Cities of Durban and Pietermaritzburg, the governing ordnance was the Municipal Extended Powers Ordnance, and applications for subdivision of land within these cities were submitted to the relevant City Survey/City Engineer Sections.

Surveyors, Engineers, Contractors and Attorneys, and compliance was necessary in order to have the subdivision proclaimed (by advertising on the Provincial Gazette) or declared (no advertisers required) an approved large or minor township. Generally applications under the old Town Planning Ordnance, which had been in use for nearly 60 years, were cumbersome, confusing, and generally outdated.

The city then canvassed the opinion of all its internal service supply departments such as roads, water, electricity, storm water and sewage disposal, and, where appropriate, outside agencies such as Provincial Education, Provincial Roads, Eskom and Telkom, to receive their comment on the application. The City would then issue conditions of approval, if it saw fit, which were to be complied with before the subdivision could be proceeded with. Typically, an applicant wishing to subdivide urban land had to employ a Town Planner, a Land Surveyor, an Engineer, Contractor and Attorney, in order to fully comply with the plethora of conditions of approval imposed. These applications were time consuming and costly.

The single most significant factor in this legislation is that the Provincial Administrators had no role to play in approving or declining applications to subdivide. All applications were submitted Land Development Applications made must conform to the to the relevant local authority, and it was the sole approval Municipal Land Use Policy, and such applications are to be authority. dealt with by a Municipal Planning Tribunal established for that purpose. The PDA is a vast improvement on the prior legislation governing In considering an application the Tribunal must consider, inter subdivision in that it lists the factors the Municipality must take into account when dealing with an application. In this brief version alia, the Public Interest, the constitutional transformation imperative to redress past imbalances, the availability of of subdivisional applications, it is not intended to detail these suitable infrastructure, the concerns of all affected parties, and factors. Furthermore, in terms of the PDA, public participation in the like. the decision making process is much greater than was previously the case. The application must be advertised in the local press, and Once again, interested parties must be informed of the notices advising of the application must be sent to all registered owners of land within 100 metres of the boundaries of the subject decision, and a disaffected interested party may appeal the Tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. site, as well as prominently displayed on the site itself. The advertisements and notices must call for comment within 30 days, Despite the seeming conflict between the PDA and SPLUMA, and advise where plans and details of what is proposed may be they do provide a more suitable framework within which viewed. subdivisional or development applications may be made. The applicant is offered an opportunity to respond to all comment Provided the application is made within the Municipal Land Use Management framework, an application will be considered received, and in considering the application, the Local Authority must consider such comment and response, and a number of other under SPLUMA, and, provided the application is consistent with the factors to be considered in terms of the PDA, it is factors as referred to above. likely to be approved.

If no objection or notice of appeal is received within this period, the local authority decision stands.

Secondly, in the past, the applications for subdivision of urban land in Kwazulu- Natal outside the jurisdiction of Durban and Pietermaritzburg were dealt with in terms of The Provincial Town Planning Ordnance No 27 of 1949. Applications for subdivision in terms of the ordnance were dealt with by the Provincial Private Townships Board (PTB), not the relevant local authority. Subdivisional applications were divided into two categories, the so called larger townships, and a need and desirability declaration from the PTB was required before the application of such township could be proceeded with, and minor townships, where no such declaration was required. In assessing both applications, Province was obliged to begin with the relevant local authority, to establish whether it was willing and able to provide the necessary service reticulation to site, and what conditions it would require if this were to be done. Equally, Province had to work with other responsible bodies, such as those referred to in the case of Pietermaritzburg and Durban, and finally, Province imposed its own conditions of subdivision. As the Provincial Authorities were not directly familiar with the land, Province often applied the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one size fits allâ&#x20AC;? philosophy to the conditions it imposed. Once again, compliance with the conditions, necessitated the use of Town Planners, Land

Accordingly, the Kwazulu- Natal Planning and Development Act No 6 of 2008 (of the PDA) was promulgated. It applied solely to property situate in Kwazulu- Natal, and amongst other things, regulated the issue of urban land subdivision.

Generally, National Provincial and Municipal Authorities need to evolve policies (with significant public participation) which take into account necessary growth and development objectives, the need of the previously dispossessed and disadvantaged for housing land, and which must give consideration to the likely future housing needs of other economic strata of society, in anticipation of likely growth in that area, and so on.

By: Andrew John Fisher

As previously mentioned, the PDA of 2008, applied to Kwazulu Natal only. National Government, not to be outdone, introduced the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) in June 2015, which muddied the water somewhat, as SPLUMA also dealt, inter alia, with matters pertaining to the subdivision of Urban Land. Once again, in Kwazulu Natal, two acts of legislation
