The South African residential property market, which has seen a gradual shift towards a more client-centric focus, is responding to an increased client demand for an all-inclusive property service offering. This shift essentially allows the property owner, renter or prospective buyer to only have to deal with one point of contact for all of their property-related needs, saving them both time and money. This is according to David Rebe, CEO of Sandak-Lewin Property Trust, who says that by taking a more holistic approach and streamlining services through a single centralised point, property companies are able to maximise the value and return of any property asset. Well-run property management companies already have all the information necessary to execute a number of additional value-added services for their clients.
Relationships are at the core of this type of business, and clients want their assets to be managed by someone who understands the history of the property and knows its real worth. By providing clients with all services ‘under one roof’, the relationship doesn’t necessarily end after a sale has gone through. Once a sale has been successfully concluded, the company can then remain the client’s point of contact. If, for example, a new owner was buying-to-let, by purchasing property through a company that offers a letting division, that same relationship could just be extended to include their rental services. In situations where a sales agent may not know everything about a unit’s building simply because they don’t have access to that kind of information; a management division, which has internal building and tenant information on hand, will be able to offer guidance and a solid way into a well-managed building. This wealth of knowledge will prevent clients from being left out of pocket by, for example, being hit with a special levy shortly after a sale has gone through. Property companies are continually looking for ways to improve their service offerings.
Many of the larger companies already offer a wide range of services, from letting and sectional title Finding a company with local knowledge and a strong management to investment management (assisting network is important – what better place to start your clients with renovating their properties in order to search than in these Property Pages? get a better rental return), and more of them are now working closely with some insurance brokers to facilitate the most competitive rates for clients and of course, ensuring that they have the necessary materials, knowledge and in-house skills to ensure an effective sale.

How much do you have to earn to live in South Africa’s richest suburbs and drive that brand new Maserati? Source: Lightstone
The answer‚ to be precise‚ is R327‚800 per month. Lightstone‚ a property research company‚ has compiled some eyebrow-raising scenarios that break down what size salary one needs in order to afford a house and car in certain suburbs around the country.
On the lower end of the scale‚ a salary of R6‚300 is required to acquire a house in Khayelitsha in the Western Cape‚ Hillbrow in Gauteng‚ or Wasbank in KwaZulu-Natal and park a second-hand 0.8 litre Chery QQ3 in the garage. SA’s most expensive properties set gold standard. The company based its data on a mortgage that would account for no more than 30% of an individual’s gross monthly salary. The mortgage was calculated over a period of 20 years without a deposit. And for cars‚ they chose to cap expenses at 20% of a monthly salary with no deposit. The data comes from various sources
“including all the property transactions taking place in the country as recorded by the registrar of deeds … to statistically derive a value on each of the 6.3 million residential properties in South Africa”‚ said Lightstone’s analytics director Paul-Roux De Kock.
profession according to the website – with a starting monthly salary of R 27‚404 could comfortably afford to live in Krugersdorp West‚ Lancaster Hill‚ or Grabouw and drive a Hyundai i20.
But a person working as a teller or a cashier for R6‚189 would be lucky to afford a property in Hillbrow and drive a second hand Chery QQ3.
Also used as a benchmark was CareerJunction’s latest salary data for South Africa. The lowest property prices are in the Eastern Cape with a mean value of R380‚000. According to the report: “To afford a luxury beach property with a median value range of R11‚700‚000 in Llandudno (Cape Town)‚ you’d need a monthly salary of R389‚400. A property of R7‚200‚000 within the coastal estate of Zimbali (near Durban) would require a salary of at least R239‚600‚ and a property of around R8‚350‚000 in De Zalze Golf Estate (Western Cape) would require a salary of R277‚ 900.” According to CareerJunction‚ a chemical engineer – the lowest paying engineering

Benefits of proactively selling your home before legal action… Proactively selling your home before legal action will almost always give you a better price for your property as well as save on other expenses and adverse credit records that are incurred during the lengthy and stressful legal process. “There are many steps a distressed home owner can take, including a long term payment arrangement (six to 12 months extension), or a short term restructure of payments if they are falling behind in their bond payments,” says Calvin Ndlovu, head of operations at FNB Home Loans. “However, if repaying your home loan is just not possible, customers need to seriously consider getting their bank’s help to sell their property on the open market, rather than going through the legal process.” All banks offer a solution to distressed customers to sell their properties on the open market. FNB’s own tool, QuickSell, was introduced in 2009 to help customers to sell their properties on the open market and realise better value, before going down the legal route. “What most customers don’t realise is that the bank is not interested in owning property, we would far rather help customers realise the best value for their property than to go down the route of attaching a property and forced selling through a sheriff’s auction,” says Ndlovu. The benefits outlined below, far outweigh going through the entire legal process and selling the house on a sheriff’s auction. Established tools and systems are in place to help customers Most banks have solid systems and tools in place 18
to help customers through the selling process. It is in the bank and the customer’s best interest to realise the best possible price for their home as this will help to cover any potential shortfall and leave the consumer in a good position to re-establish themselves financially.

as those sold on the open market and go through a very lengthy, time consuming process before they are finally sold on auction. “Customers are in a better position after the sale”
Other advantages include possible discounts and free services.
While selling your home due to financial pressure is very emotional and stressful, home owners in distress don’t always consider the other implications such as having to go through the legal process and end up paying high legal fees.
FNB offers discounts of up to 25% of the current outstanding home loan balance when there is shortfall after the sale of the property and any remaining shortfall after going through the QuickSell process will be repayable over 10 years, interest free.
“Once a home has been attached and sold on a sheriff’s auction, the customer not only has the potential short-fall that they will be expected to continue paying for the next 30 years, but also an adverse judgement on their credit record,” says Ndlovu.
“We contract established, well-known estate agents that invest the necessary time, energy and money in marketing the homes on all their channels,” says Ndlovu. “We also give the customer a free valuation and an indication what price to expect, so that the customer has certainty on the process going forwards.
Having an adverse credit record will mean that will applying for any additional credit will be difficult, and this will also weigh against them when trying to rent another place.
Possible discounts and free services
Contact your bank to find out what they offer their customers in terms of help through the process. Houses are sold quicker with a better selling price reached
“Most rentals will require a credit check, and it now becomes very difficult for a consumer, who has gone through the judgement process, to rent a place to live,” warns Ndlovu. The best course of action is to seek the bank’s help before legal action is taken.
“Getting into financial difficulty and the process of going into arrears and the legal action that follows is highly stressful and customers sometimes try to “On average, over the last year, homes that are in avoid this completely, by not engaging with the the QuickSell programme have spent around two bank. However, the best possible outcome for the months on the market and realised in excess of customer and the bank in these situations is to 85% of their value prices, which is a far better results for customers that are in distress as they are make use of the solutions and tools that banks able to fairly quickly go through the selling process have in place to realise the best possible price for and get good value,” says Ndlovu. your property,” concludes Ndlovu. Houses sold on auction average don’t fare as well

Digitally aware wills and generally prudent behaviour Death is a constant but so is change and your will should, amongst other things, cater for the digital environment that envelops all of us.
Facebook has recently catered more specifically for after death management of accounts of deceased persons than before but it still remains important that your will has specific directions as to what your executor must do with digital accounts and information stored in them including, if desired, memorialisation.
Increasingly, we all tend to keep information that is of sentimental as well as business value on online storage of one or other sort: email accounts, photo sharing accounts, social media sites, file storage sites such as Dropbox, banking accounts and so on.
It should also specifically authorize your executor to access and manage such accounts in any way required whenever the executor wishes. You should review the terms of use of all such sites as well since you may be surprised at how much control they assume over what you consider to be your information.
Proper, regularly updated estate planning and will drafting takes account of this in addition to traditional concerns. It will give you guidance about managing your increasingly complex digital as well as hard copy environment during your lifetime to ensure it is able to be dealt with as you expect on your death with no loss of important information or benefits for your heirs whilst taking account of taxation changes. You may also want to direct that you are remembered digitally although this must be very carefully considered especially as you would not like any unwanted or potentially sensitive information to be available to others after your death. For example, in America there have been problems with accessing or dealing with Facebook accounts when the owner and user dies, such as parents desperate to know why their child committed suicide, wives who wanted to set up their deceased husband's page as a memorial or remove it and close relatives who wanted to take down the rambling or even offensive postings of someone who has died.
You must have a clear list of all digital and other assets which can include details of accounts involved including all social media ones, copyright to anything, bank accounts, share certificates (which are all now dematerialized), images, videos, agreements and contracts and any other data of whatever kind and also the metadata allowing access to any such assets such as passwords, two factor authentication processes and suchlike. If you are cyber comfortable, you can use a master password account like 1Password or simply have a regularly updated list of passwords, access codes and user processes that you must store securely, possibly in a safety deposit box. Also store the master password if you use a password aggregation account but remember to make it accessible in the event of your death or sudden incapacitation. Record the fact that you have such a safety deposit box in your will or perhaps store such details in a hard copy statement filed with your will if it is stored on your behalf by a bank or your lawyer. You can also share them with a trusted close friend or relative but any such person might predecease you or simply be untraceable at a critical time so it is better to look at more enduring storage methods.
It is also even more important than ever before that your will is reviewed regularly to be sure it caters for your continually changing real and virtual assets as well as personal circumstances and your wishes. If in a marriage or other domestic arrangement, always be sure your partner can access any jointly used accounts should anything happen to you whether it be your death or your incapacitation. The above points also apply very largely during your lifetime should you be incapacitated at any time due to accident or sudden illness. It is worth considering giving your partner or other trusted person a power of attorney to act on your behalf in such cases but spouses and domestic partners should both keep each other advised of general business dealings and useful passwords.

WATER don’t be a drip get tested stop water leaks Save your pocket A water leak on your property could be costing you, and you may not even know the leak is there. It costs nothing to do a simple check… To find out if you have a leak: • Turn off all the taps in your house. • Find your water meter. This will be outside your house, possibly on the boundary. Your meter will have a row of numbers. • Check the meter for movement of the numbers; if there is no visible movement then do the following: • Take a meter reading by writing down all the numbers on the meter dial. • Advise all the people on the property not to use any water for at least one hour; this can also be done overnight. • Take another meter reading; if the reading has increased, then there is a leak. The numbers on the meter move to measure water flow, so if they have moved, there is a leak
What then?
To stop the water supply, turn off the tap at the meter and call a plumber. If you are insured, check with your insurance company for an approved plumber.
Remember: Any water that flows after your water meter is your responsibility, and for your account. Most homeowners are covered for water leaks through their home-owners insurance and so repairing such may not even be an expensive affair.
