The Old Age Dilemma Sell or Buy First? Sell first and begin your house hunting thereafter, or house hunt first and sell your house thereafter? To work out the answer to this dilemma, you need to ask yourself two questions: what are your financing options and what are the current market conditions? “Prudent sellers should consider whether their local market currently favours buyers or sellers, and how this will affect their ability to sell and find a home that meets all of their criteria in the given market. A real estate professional will be a valuable source of information in this regard. Able to provide insight into current stock levels, the average amount of time homes in the area are sitting on the market, and how much they are selling for, real estate professionals can help sellers to gauge possible time frames on both the selling and buying processes,” explains says Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa. Apart from this, Goslett suggests that the deciding factor often comes down to how the seller is planning to finance their new home. Below is his advice according to which financial situation sellers find themselves in: A) I’m selling my current home as equity for my new home “In this case, there will be a suspensive condition in your OTP that states that the sale of the home will only go ahead once your property has been sold. In situations where there is more than one offer on the table, sellers may therefore choose to reject your offer in favour of a buyer who already has the necessary financing available. This is why some choose to sell first in order to increase their chances of locking down their dream home when they eventually find it. However, if you do sell first, you will need to find yourself a temporary living situation until you’re able to move into your dream home. This could

lead to a rushed decision in order to limit the amount of time spent in whichever temporary living situation you’ve set up. Your temporary living options include: 1. Paying occupational rent to remain in your current home which you’ve already sold to avoid moving costs and the hassle of moving twice. 2. Staying with a friend to avoid paying rent. However, this comes with the pain of having to move more than once, and you will also have to pay for a storage unit in which to keep all of your furniture. 3. Finding a short-term rental. This includes the risk of not knowing how long you need to rent a space for, as well as moving costs and possible storage unit costs if you’re renting a smaller space that cannot accommodate all of your furniture.” B) I’m setting up bridging finance “You could set up a bridging finance option on your current home loan. This reduces the risk of your offer being rejected owing to a lack of readily available finance required to pay the transfer fees so that the transfer process is not delayed. The bridging finance will be based on the equity available on the property, your credit record and the expected cash inflow. However, you are advised to read the fine print on this financing option very closely. There are all kinds of interest payable and administrative costs involved in this option, and it can end up being a rather costly option.” C) I’m purchasing cash “If you can afford to purchase a second home without first selling your first home, working out the answer to this question doesn’t become much simpler. Should you choose to buy first, you carry the risk of having to pay off two bonds while you wait for the sale of your first home. Should you choose to sell first, you still run the risk of rushing your purchase in order to limit the amount of time spent in your temporary living situation.” Whichever option sellers choose to go with, Goslett advises that they involve a real estate professional to guide them through the process.

Buying property this festive season? Check the title deed first! If you plan to buy property this Festive Season – perhaps your new dream house, or a holiday home, or an office for your business, or purely as an investment – check the title deed of the property you have your eye on before you sign anything. Why is that so important? Firstly, what exactly is a title deed and why check it? In a nutshell, a “Title Deed” (also called a “Deed of Transfer” – they’re the same thing) is proof of who owns a particular property. It’s issued by the local Deeds Office after a conveyancing attorney has registered transfer to a new owner. The title deed is a mine of crucial information relating to the property, its history, and conditions attaching to it. So check it thoroughly, it’s well worth the effort – 1. You may well pick up valuable pointers to the property’s value, such as what the seller paid for it and when, things that could affect what it’s actually worth to you, and so on. 2. If you don’t do a proper check, you could be in for a very nasty surprise down the line. To take just one example, you really don’t want to
find out after you buy that servitudes apply and you must now live with neighbours crossing your property whenever they feel like it, or that you can never build that double-story you have dreamed of, nor subdivide when you decide to retire. The reality is that our courts regularly have to deal with disputes arising from title deed conditions of which the buyer was blissfully unaware – until it was too late. And it’s no use crying “but I had no idea I was buying a property with a zoning restriction/height restriction/right-of-way servitude”. Because the property register kept by the Deeds Office is open to the public, everyone, including you, is presumed to have notice of registered rights like those.
You can get a copy of the title deed direct from the Deeds Office or online, but it will be easier to ask the seller (estate agent if applicable) or your lawyer for one. So what should you look for before buying? Look for the following in particular – • Who the current registered owner is, when they bought the property and what they paid for it. • What the property’s history is. • The full description of the property, its erf or section number, exact size and references to boundaries. • Any rules or contracts applying to it. For example if you are buying into a residential complex managed by a Home Owners Association, there is likely to be an obligation to join the HOA. • “Restrictive conditions” relating to your rights to use, build, sell the property and so on. For example, no matter what the local zoning laws allow, you
could find that you are specifically limited to residential usage only, or to a single story house built on no more than 50% of the erf, or you may not be able to subdivide a large piece of land. • Real rights registered over the property. Because they are “real”, they come with the property and will be enforceable against you if you buy. And they can seriously limit not only the property’s value but also your use and enjoyment of it. Imagine for example if all the neighbours have a “right of way” servitude to use a road or footpath through your property. Or that someone has a lifetime usufruct giving them the right to live in your new house until they die. • Any mortgage bond will also be endorsed on the title deed, as will the fact that it has been cancelled if the owner has paid it off in full – factors that may help you in deciding on where to pitch your offer. • Each title deed will be different. Scrutinise it for anything else that may be relevant to your decision whether or not to buy, or to the price you are willing to pay. Check that everything in the title deed ties in with the offer you are being asked to sign. And that you are happy with all obligations and restrictions on your use of the property. Most importantly, even the simplest title deed can be full of legalese and pitfalls for the unwary. So as always, ask your lawyer for help before you sign anything!
