WELLINGTON: PLOT AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Village at Diemersfontein
T
he first 18 owners have taken occupation of their homes at “The Village” – the new secure estate which is taking shape within the acclaimed Diemersfontein Wine and Country Estate, situated in the Boland’s scenic Wellington Valley. In addition, Pam Golding Properties (PGP) reports that a further 23 properties have been sold and are either under construction or due to commence building soon. The 19 properties in phase one of the development are completely sold out, while just 11 are still available for purchase in phase two, with a further 20 already sold. PGP has the exclusive mandate to market the homes, which are sold on a plot and plan basis, priced between R1,095 million and R1,55 million. PGP’s project manager for the development, Louise Varga, says buyers to date have included a mix of young couples and first-time buyers, many with young children, as well as mature buyers wishing to downscale, and investors of all ages. “A number of key factors have ensured demand, including the scenic, central location within the Wellington Valley, surrounded by vineyards and with views of the Baviaanskloof and Du Toitskloof mountains. Buyers appreciate the fact that they can live in an atmosphere of beauty and rural tranquillity, but still be within 45 minutes’ drive of Cape Town and its international airport, or just 30 minutes from the city’s northern suburbs. The excellent security and ease of lock-up-and-go living are also key selling points, as is the presence of an on-site private school, Wellington Preparatory, to which home-owners’ children have guaranteed admission. To have a high quality co-ed primary school literally on your doorstep, and know that your children will have a place there, is a big advantage, given the fierce competition for places in top schools.” PGP’s area manager for Wellington, Surina du Toit adds that buyers have appreciated the convenience of the plot and plan offering, while still enjoying a sense of personal choice. “There are eight different design options in
phase two, including options for both two- and three-bedroom homes,” she says. “Owners also also have a number of options to customise the finishes and fittings to their own personal taste. This means that they can still put their individual stamp on their home, while conforming to the overall architectural theme and the atmosphere of informal elegance.

The village is constituted in terms of the Retirement Act No. 65 of 1988.
When retirement looms, is your home a retirement asset ? MARK WILLIAMS Many people are beginning to look at their home as a retirement asset. There are two reasons for this: firstly the average person nearing retirement is under-funded, in some cases their homes are their only assets. The second reason has to do with the boom in property and current value of homes. . Retired people are looking at ways to “unlock” the value in their homes to provide for income. The most common approach is to sell the home in a sought-after area in favour of “down-scaling” to another less expensive area. This allows the retiree to realize the differ-
ence between the sale price and the purchase price on the new place to provide for income. A variation to this plan would be to rent instead of buying, thus having the full capital available from the sale to provide for an income. No fancy math skills required for calculating the financial benefit of this option. In fact, if you can view your home as a financial asset in your portfolio and ignore all the emotional issues around owning your own property, it would make sense to sell your home and rent it back from the buyer. You can rent a R2 000 000 property for R80 000 per year. Assuming you invested the R2 000 000 at 6% (money market rate), you would earn
R120 000 per year with the benefit of no rates and taxes and no maintenance costs. This is a very simplistic calculation in order to make a point. Usually someone would consider this plan if they intended drawing down on their capital over the remainder of their life. I am told that in the UK it is quite common to sell your home and retain the right of enjoyment or usage until your death. The value of the property is split between the “bare dominium” and the “usufruct”. On the death of the usufructory, the full rights of property ownership revert to the bare dominium holder and he/she can deal freely with the property. The mechanics would be to calculate the value at-
SOLE ON-SITE AGENTS
tached to the right of use and subtract this from the market value to determine the selling price. A variation of the above is the reverse mortgage plan, which allows the homeowner to borrow a monthly amount against the value of the property without having to pay the money back until the property is sold or the homeowner dies. The advantage of this plan is the homeowner gets to stay in their home whilst accessing the equity in the property to live from. The risk is that the property value does not keep up with that of the debt and the bank ends up owning the property before you intended it to.

Good news for lower income homebuyers SA Home Loans, South Africa’s largest non-bank mortgage finance provider, announced its entry into the fast growing market for affordable housing last Tuesday, a move that spells good news for house hunters earning less than R18 000 per month. SA Home Loans CEO Kevin Penwarden said affordable housing is a major segment of the South African housing market, with properties valued between R250 000 and R500 000 making up more than a quarter of all registered residential properties. “Despite this, there remains a massive
shortage of decent affordable housing. “This demand has not been matched by a similar appetite in the provision of enduser finance by home loan providers, so we’re confident that our entry improves not only the scope, but also the quality of choice available to lower income buyers.” Taking into account the fact that many lower income buyers find it extremely difficult to save up for the large deposits required for many mortgages, SA Home Loans is offering 100% loans to qualifying customers, with a 20-year term variable interest rate loan.
It has also reduced its minimum property size to take smaller properties into account. Penwarden acknowledged that affordable housing carries a stigma of higher risk, making fund-raising a challenging exercise. “Nevertheless, we have leveraged our fund-raising expertise and managed to secure sufficient funding to make us a sizeable player in the affordable housing space. “More importantly, our funding structure ensures that we will be in this market for the long term.” - Fin24

BOLAND SOLD
18 April, 2013
Two adjacent lifestyle farms in the picturesque Cape winelands region of Wellington in the Western Cape will fall under the auction hammer in May. The first farm (portion 6), consisting of 79 ha of undeveloped land, is zoned for agriculture
and ideal for growing olives and buchu. The area is covered in indigenous fynbos and perfectly suited to hiking and other outdoor pursuits, with the Witte River running adjacent to the property border. The second farm (portion 8) contains 5,9 ha (zoned for agriculture) with two houses; one a four-bedroom home (about 290 m²) and the second a two-bedroom house (about 179 m²), both in good condition. There is also a swimming pool on the property. The farms are situated in a scenic area at the foot of the Bainskloof pass in Wellington. The valley of Wellington is just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, but it is a world away from city life, with the Berg River on its western border and the mighty Hawequas Mountains on its eastern flank. The famous Bainskloof pass serves as the gateway to the north and the Limietberg Nature Reserve attracts hundreds of hikers and adventure-seekers every weekend.
Wellington’s economy is based on agriculture such as wine, table grapes, deciduous fruit and a brandy industry, making the area attractive for both farmers and nature lovers. ”These two properties in the beautiful Wellington region offer both a country lifestyle and good income potential,” says Willie van Rensburg of BKB Eiendomme. “These properties are perfect for buyers looking for that combination.”
The second dwelling on the second farm.
Wellington is situated about 10 km from Paarl, the largest town in the area. The farms will be auctioned separately and together as one unit. The auction takes place on site on Wednesday 8 May 2013 at 11:00. Viewing is by appointment only.

GOLF 7: STILL A LEADER IN ITS CLASS
Volkswagen Golf: the timeless aspect HANJO STIER
S
ome cars are so important that even their makers cannot hide obvious excitement. The Volkswagen Golf is just such a car, having sold 29,4 million copies in 39 years, the gang at Volkswagen South Africa were beaming from ear to ear at its local launch last week. Rightly described as one of their most important models, the Golf is a brand pillar and an icon which lead to a rather bewildering marketing drive. “It’s the one” they claim, along with “It’s a Golf” and “It’s the only one” plus “If you could only drive one car, what would it be?” Part of the merry launch crowd was Herr Andreas Mindt, the new Golf’s chief exterior designer. His presentation covered all aspects of the taut new design, while gradually uncovering timeless elements of previous generations, sculpted surfaces to capture light and unbelievable attention to detail. We were buried in an avalanche of technical specifications, but all you need to know is this: Golf Seven is lighter, wider, longer, lower, safer, more spacious and more efficient than the vehicle it replaces, thanks in part to the VWAG Group’s new MQB platform (Modularer Querbaukasten = modular building block). This versatile platform also hosts the new Beetle and Audi A3, receiving slight tweaks for each model and allowing the Golf to improve its shape, space and packaging. A new generation of direct-injection turbo-charged engines take care of power and efficiency increases. Our local range includes a 1.2 TSi (77 kW/175 Nm), two 1.4 TSi (90 kW/200 Nm or 103 kW/250 Nm) and a 2.0 TDi (110 kW/320 Nm). Most are available with a six-speed manual gearbox while the 1.4 TSi and 2.0 TDi can be ordered with DSG doubleclutch automatic shifters. Amazingly, almost every engine dips under the 120 g CO2/km emissions mark, while the beefier 1.4 tips that scale by just one gram. Claimed average fuel consumption is just as unbelievable with most figures hanging around 5 L/100 km, thanks to BlueMotion with brake energy recuperation and a stand-
ard stop/start system. Fitted with 50 L tanks, we tested this claim and all other attributes of the important newcomer on lengthy drives around Port Elizabeth. Even with leadfooted journalists driving, most Golfs returned consumption figures in the low sevens and high sixes – a remarkable achievement. Even more impressive was my return journey to Cape Town where I shunned a crop duster plane at the last minute and jumped aboard a new Golf 7 1.4 TSi (90kW) Manual bound for our friends at CAR Magazine in Pinelands. The 750 km journey turned out to be highly enjoyable. My 1.94 m frame spent the entire trip on a rear seat and I can attest to the Golf 7’s impeccable road manners. It’s as quiet, comfortable, refined, spacious and well-made as you would expect from Volkswagen. On top of that, we rolled into the mother city just as the fuel light illuminated… Although shy of 1 000 km range, our Golf carried three adults plus luggage and travelled at the posted speed limits for most of the trip. The sound system and air-conditioning are both excellent, the (non-Xenon) headlights are sufficient and the cabin shows impressive build and material quality. The interior is also a quality-driven evolution which features real metal de- It’s as quiet, comfortable, refined, spacious and well-made as you would expect from Volkswagen. tails and revisions to most controls, inStandard safety kit includes six airbags, formation and entertainment systems.

Citroën C4 Aircross: Franse styl vir die platteland HANS HEESE Dit is alleen op die langpad wat ’n mens ’n motor werklik leer ken. Die KKNK op Oudtshoorn het die geleentheid gebied om die Citroën Aircross deeglik op die proef te stel op goeie teerpad en modderige grondpaaie rondom Calitzdorp. Citroën was nog al die jare bekend vir sy fanatiese aanhangers; een van hulle, nou reeds afgetrede geneesheer in Vleesbaai, het in die jare sewentig vas geglo dat die hemel ’n plek is waar jy Citroëns sou kry met groot V8-silinder enjins. Daar is ook nog talle wat hulle ID en DS vuurwaens, met hulle hidrouliese suspensie, met liefde en toewyding koester en blink hou. Ten spyte van al die uitstaande en positiewe eienskappe van Citroëns was hulle nooit blitsverkoper in Suid-Afrika nie; selfs nie nadat hierdie roemryke handelsmerk in die Peugeot-stal beland het nie. Die feit dat beide Citroën en Peugeot in die tagtigerjare uit die land getrek het, het dinge nie makliker gemaak nie en moes die handelaar-netwerk van meet af aan opgebou word. Die C4 Aircross is myns insiens dié Citroën wat weer die handelsmerk in ere gaan herstel. Die nutsvoertuig met sy goeie grondvry-afstand, en wat in beide voorwielaandrywing en 4x4-weergawes beskikbaar is, kan sy man teen enige ander in hierdie segment, staan. Boonop is daar verskillende weergawes – Attraction, Seduction en Exclusive – met grade van luuksheid sodat die koper self kan besluit wat sy beursie gaan pas. Om mee weg te trek; met sy kurwes op die regte plekke is hy sag op die oog en kry hy die eerste plek vir voorkoms wanneer hy gemeet word aan sy broers, die Mitsubishi ASX en die Peugeot 4008. Dit is dan ook sy direkte verwantskap met die Japannees wat hy ook deur plattelanders, ver weg van enige Citroënhandelaar, gekoop kan word omdat die meganika dieselfde is as die van die Mitsubishi wat talle agentskappe dwarsoor die lengte en breedte van die land het. Ons toetsmotor was die basiese Attractionweergawe wat teen R269 900 verkoop word en teen hierdie prys dan ook aantreklik is en die Attraction-etiket verdien. (Die duurste is die 4x4 Exclusive met outomatiese ratkas teen R369 900). Die Attraction word deur ’n beproefde petrolenjin van 1 998 cc wat 113 kW teen 6 000 toere per minuut ontwikkel en teen 198 Nm teen 4 200 rpm beskikbaar stel. Dit stel die motor in staat om vanaf 0-100 km/h in 9 sekondes te versnel en die naald by 200 km/h te laat draai as die kalf in die put is. Boonop is hierdie Citroën, wat die krag deur ’n vyfgang-handratkas na die voorwiele oordra, ook ’n suinige knaap; tydens die rit Oudtshoorn toe en terug, het die verbruiksyfer op die rekenaar so laag as 8,2 liter 100/km gelees; dit ondanks ’n swaar vrag en die maksimum toelaatbare snelheid wat deurgaans gehandhaaf is. Die binnekant van die Citroën is ruim en die bestuurder het die voordeel dat al die instrumente maklik bereikbaar is; die sitplekke is gemaklik en al die luukses wat vereis word, is daar; so ook die veiligheidseienskappe wat

Veral gemaklik en ook vir veiligheid, is die stuurwiel wat ook kontroles vir die radio en ander toerusting bevat en die bestuurder se aandag kan by die pad bly. Talle ongelukke word immers veroorsaak wanneer die bestuurder se aandag net vir ’n oomblik afgelei word deur die radio te verstel. Dis nie ’n luukse nie, dit is bloot prakties. So ook die twee kragproppe om ’n selfoon te laai terwyl die Garmin ook ingeprop is en die meervuldige klein rekenaarskerm wat brandstof verbruik en reikafstand met die bestaande brandstofinhoud aandui. Die 16” wiele met ’n redelik hoë profiel verskaf ’n gemaklike rit op grondpaaie en sinkplaat-paaie en die MacPherson-vering voor, met multi-skakel agtervering, verseker stabi-
liteit onder normale ry-omstandighede. Die stuur gebruik elektriese kraghulp en is “net reg” omdat die gevoel van die pad nog altyd waarneembaar is. Wie gaan hierdie Citroën koop? Miskien is dit die ideale voertuig is vir ouer mense met baie tyd tot hul beskikking en wat nog lank wil rondry op al die agterpaadjies van die land. Maar hy is ook net so nuttig vir die jonges met gesinne wat pakplek nodig het vir al die kleintjies, of sporttoerusting wat saamgery moet word. Daar is immers 384 liter pakruimte beskikbaar sonder dat enige van die agterste (verdeelde) sitplekke afgeslaan is. En wat oulik is van die agterste sitplekke is die feit dat hulle rugleuning se helling ook verstel kan word. In die gees van Citroën wat al uit die heel
vroegste jare klem geplaas het op veiligheid, is daar ook frommelsones wat beteken dat die kajuit in die meeste gevalle ongeskonde gaan bly in die geval van ’n ernstige ongeluk. Belangrik ook is die neus wat beserings aan voetgangers so onskadelik as moontlik maak; ’n eienskap wat reeds uit die dae van die ou DSmodelle kom. Die Citroën Aircross reeks word gedek deur ’n 3-jaar/100 000 km waarborg asook ’n baie aantreklike 5 jaar of 100 000 km diensplan met die opsie om die waarborg-tydperk te verleng. ’n FreeDrive- plan verleng beide die waarborg en diensplan om te verseker dat daar geen onverwagte kostes sal opduik nie. Dit stel ’n mens gerus en mag talle kopers na die Citroën, met sy twee strepe wat die sitrusboom simboliseer, lok.
