SIR LOWRY’S PASS ROAD:LIFESTYLE DEVELOPMENTS PLANNED

Property sales gain momentum

DALEEN FOUCHÉ

The rural setting of Sir Lowry’s Pass Road is rapidly changing as the many lifestyle developments along and around the road gain momentum. Westacre Property Group developer, Okkie Potgieter, says that besides the old AECI grounds, this part of the Helderberg is the only land left to develop. Potgieter bought a 101 ha farm on Sir Lowry’s Pass Road about eight years ago and subdivided and rezoned the farm for mostly lifestyle developments. The Somerset, a lifestyle and retirement village, is Westacre’s biggest development in this area, with more than 390 houses and various amenities like the R12,8 million clubhouse. Potgieter says construction of the clubhouse is set to be completed by the end of 2014. The houses, however, are being developed as demand grows. The property next to The Somerset has been rezoned for retail use

and sold off to Shoprite Property Holdings. A spokesperson for Shoprite and Checkers has confirmed to the DistrictMail that a new Checkers is planned for Somerset West. According to Potgieter, this planned retail node will be a welcome addition to the mix of developments in the Sir Lowry’s Pass Road area. Beechwood and Rosewood are two Westacre developments adjacent to The Somerset. They will consist of about 5ha,with between 60 and 80 houses. Brian Mathews, development specialist with Harcourts in Somerset West, is marketing four developments in the Sir Lowry’s Pass Road area for Residential Estate Dennegeur (Pty) Ltd (RED). He says although property in these security villages has been in the market for a long time, sales of these properties are only now gaining momentum. He says when Harcourts was appointed to market the properties, they redesigned the proposals. Three of these developments are sold on a keyturn basis, as apposed

to a “plot and plan” basis, says Mathews. He explains that with a “plot and plan” the buyer buys a plot and building plan and has to build his own home, but with the keyturn plan, the developers build at their cost and risk once the property has been sold. Mathews says the Bluecrane Estate, which will consist of 30 houses, and Silverfox Estate with 60 houses, are selling well. More than 56% have already sold in just under 18 months. Sea View Lake is situated behind Bizweni Road and will consist of 21 houses, while Hageland will consist of about 70 houses with 30% already built. The Summer Club is another popular development in the Sir Lowry’s Pass Road area. All 114 units of the first phase were sold out within six weeks. Over 19 phases are planned for this development, which entails various land uses to accommodate a multi-faceted lifestyle. A total of 1,115 residential units will be built, with the second phase to be launched in April

The City of Cape Town confirms that there is a plan to upgrade Old Sir Lowry’s Pass Road, though a time frame has not yet been finalised.

The ABCs of certificates of compliance When selling a property most home owners focus on preparing the residence for show days, adding a lick of paint, neatening the garden and so forth. What many neglect to prepare until the property has been sold and is ready for transfer, are the required Certificates of Compliance (COCs). Before the transfer of any home can be registered it is the duty of the seller to provide the relevant transfer attorney with a number of COCs - the most common being an electri-

cal COC as well as a plumbing COC. The remaining certificates are dependent on whether the property has a gas installation, electric fence or, is located in a coastal area and thus requires a Certificate of Clearance for woodborer beetles. “While obtaining these COCs add an extra cost for the seller, they are required by law in an attempt to safeguard both the buyer and the seller in that they serve as assurance that the wiring, plumbing and other installations of a property is up to standard – ensuring the seller

that they’re not purchasing a problem, while also protecting the seller from later claims against him by the buyer, ” says Bruce Swain, managing director of Leapfrog Property Group. According to the electrical installation regulations of May 2009 an electrical COC may only be issued by a person or body approved by the Chief Inspector (CI) in terms of Regulation five to carry out inspections, tests and investigations on electrical installations. The new regulations also specify

that the certificate may not change ownership if it is older than two years. Should the certificate be older than two years a new one will have to be obtained. A plumbing COC will only be valid if the issuer belongs to IOPSA (the Institute of Plumbing South Africa) – something that can be easily checked on their website. At present there doesn’t seem to be a set period of validity when obtaining a plumbing certificate and transfer lawyers recommend get-

ting a new certificate issued when selling a property. With more and more home owners opting for electric fencing as a security measure an electrical fence system COC is now also required where applicable. Carol McDonald from the Southern African Legal Information Institute (Saffli) points out that “The requirement does not apply to a system in existence prior to 1 October 2012”.

Prepare your property for the market So you’re thinking of selling. At what point do you call in an estate agent to assist you? Most sellers only call an estate agent when they are ready to take their property to the market and commence the marketing.

EXPERT OPINION

27 Maart, 2014

But is this the best way to ensure that your property sells for what it’s worth? Our experience in selling homes for the maximum has proven that, where sellers have taken the time to prepare their properties for the market, they achieve a significantly better price. Why is this? The property market, like any other market, works on supply and demand. Whilst the general stock levels play a major part in this, there is much a seller can do to increase the demand for their specific property. What we know is that buyers buy by comparison. That means they will look at a number of properties in the same price range that offer similar value. However, they will only make an offer on one property at a time. It’s their demand for your specific property that will determine whether or not they will make an offer, and how good the offer will be. To illustrate: If there are three proper-

PRACTICAL SUV: POWERFUL AND FUEL EFFICIENT

Chevrolet Trailblazer upgraded for 2014 QUICKPIC The Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV has come under the knife for 2014, with all five existing models receiving substantial specification enhancements. The Trailblazer has forged a solid reputation in South Africa since its launch in 2012, with versatility, off-road ability and on-road stability strengthening the nameplate in the demanding South African market. Tim Hendon, Chevrolet Brand Manager at General Motors South Africa (GMSA) says, “The Trailblazer continues to make in-roads into the large SUV segment in South Africa where a well-informed market knows what it wants from a vehicle of this calibre. With our enhanced range we expect Trailblazer to be even more widely received by the South African public where value is a key decision-making factor and luxurious appointment an added benefit in the buying process. The Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, which debuted earlier in 2014 in the Chevrolet Sonic RS, is now also available in the Chevrolet Trailblazer, fitted as standard to all derivatives. MyLink brings smartphone technology to the Trailblazer with a large 7-inch touch screen display and a host of media capabilities. Video and picture playback, full audio format support linked to six speakers, USB and aux integration, as well as Bluetooth for hands-free cellphone use and audio streaming, join Chevrolet MyLink’s downloadable app set which allow for an increasing array of integrated media use including Internetbased radio.

The two Duramax engines are ranked amongst the most powerful and fuel-efficient diesel engines available in their respective displacement classes. PHOTO: QUICKPIC The Chevrolet MyLink concept is simple – an amalgamation of the most popular and advanced infotainment functions incorporated into an easy-to-use, attractive and effective interface, which transforms the Chevrolet Trailblazer into a connected entertainment hub while on the move. With four of the five Trailblazer derivatives featuring powerful turbocharged diesel engines, the 2014 line-up now benefits from uprated outputs from both the 2.5 F and 2.8 F Duramax diesel motors. The 2.5D LT model now makes use of 120 kW (up by 9%) and 380 m (up by 8.5%). The 2.8D LTZ models, available in either 4x2 or 4x4 guise, also see hikes in power from the proven Duramax turbocharged diesel engine, which

now produces 144 kW (up 9%). Automatic 2.8D LTZ models receive further enhancement in the form of a torque increase of 30 Nm to 500 Nm. Fuel economy from the updated engines also improves, the 2.5D LT derivative returning an average fuel consumption figure of 8,0 F per 100 km, the updated 2.8D LTZ models returning as low as 8,5 F per 100 km. The two Duramax engines are ranked amongst the most powerful and fuel efficient diesel engines available in their respective displacement classes. Both feature double overhead camshafts and an aluminium cylinder head designed to optimise combustion for enhanced power and efficiency with a reduced tendency for engine knock

to occur. Both engines make use of high-pressure common-rail fuel injection systems (2.0 bar) with turbocharged and intercooled induction systems. The clean-burn design of the induction and combustion process, aside from the power and efficiency benefits, also provides for low emissions. Both engines are Euro 2 compliant. The tried-and-trusted 3.6 F petrol V6 engine fitted to the range-topping Trailblazer 3.6 LTZ AT model remains unchanged. The all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer, which is built in Thailand for global consumption, embodies those specific attributes since global introduction in 2012. Featuring seven practical seats,

ample room for luggage, a comfortable cabin and a refined drive, the Trailblazer offers the best combination of all-round attributes which culminate in an infinitely practical SUV. Also featuring advanced 4x4 drivetrain design and technology, Trailblazer is as comfortable and capable off-road as it is in the city, where generous ground clearance (up to 230 mm), excellent critical angles and a sturdy 4x4 system allow for exceptionally easy off-road driving. Able to switch drive modes at the turn of a dial, 4x4 Trailblazer models offer 2-High, 4-High and 4-Low modes. Combined with the pulling power available from either the 2.8 F Duramax diesel motors or 3.6 F petrol V6, the Trailblazer makes for the perfect getaway vehicle, with class-leading towing capacity (up to 2 950 kg in 2.8D LTZ models) going further in making the Chevrolet Trailblazer a true all-rounder. LTZ models benefit from the addition of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and TCS (Traction Control System), HDC (Hill Descent Control), TSC (Trailer Sway Control) and EDC (Engine Drag Control), the LTZ automatic models also featuring HSA (Hill Start Assistance). 2014 Chevrolet Trailblazer model range and pricing (incl. VAT) The Trailblazer’s prices start at R386 500 (2.5 turbo diesel) and rises to R516 700 for the 3.6 V6 petrol model. All Chevrolet Trailblazer models come standard with a 5-year/ 120 000 km warranty and roadside assistance package, as well as a 5year/ 90 000 km service plan, with service intervals scheduled every 15 000 km.

19 Lexus is one to watch…, says CAR Magazine Donderdag

27 Maart, 2014

QUICKPIC Lexus was selected as “The Company to Watch” in CAR Magazine’s prestigious 2014 annual car awards, a celebration of automotive excellence, which was held at the Campus in Fourways this week.

While there’s an obvious buzz around forthcoming models like the RC and RC F Coupe (due in SA towards the end of the year), Lexus has not been resting on its laurels. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

According to CAR’s Editor, Steve Smith, “there’s a revolution happening at Lexus. It started with the GS, gained momentum with the IS and continues with the gorgeous RC F Coupe. We’re excited to see the next step in the Lexus reinvention.” Justin Ryan, General Manager of Lexus South Africa, is justifiably proud of this accolade: “To be acknowledged in this way is a great reward for Lexus. It reaffirms the qualities that have always been at the heart of our brand – luxury, refinement and technical innovation –

but, more importantly, it shows just how successfully we’re evolving Lexus dynamically with each new model we introduce.” While there’s an obvious buzz around forthcoming models like the RC and RC F Coupe (due in SA towards the end of the year), Lexus has not been resting on its laurels. Two stalwarts of the Lexus range – the uber-talented GS and sporty-yet-practical RX have both come in for a spot 2014 rejuvenation. GS 450h SE / 350 Representing a complete rethink of an executive sedan with far greater emphasis on driving dynamics, while retaining Lexus’s standards of interior opulence and overall build quality, the new GS has found favour with critics the world over. With a wider track, more direct steering, aurally engineered exhaust system, an automatic gearbox with paddle shifters and virtual immediate lock-up technology, vented disc brakes and generous use of aluminium, the new GS is a dynamic revelation. In true Lexus style the GS offers an unmatched list of luxury features as standard. The GS 350 offers features such as an intelligent climate control system, Lexus Premium Sound, electrically adjustable front seats and steering wheel and full high-grade leather trim. But the big news for 2014 is the adoption of the LFA-inspired 8-speed, Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) auto box from the Lexus IS F. In addition, due to customer demand, the GS 350 will, for the first time in South Africa, be made available with the F-SPORT body kit package. The list of extras has also just grown a bit bigger on the GS 450h models, thanks to the inclusion of full-colour heads-up display as standard. Equipped with a similar V6 petrol engine to the one on the GS 350, the 450h offers 345 Nm of torque; it is tuned for a maximum delivery of 213 kW. This is further complemented by a powerful electric motor and high voltage battery to boost total system output to 252 kW. The electric motor also adds a further 275 Nm for impressive response. The drivetrain is coupled with an E-CVT continuously variable gearbox. RX 350 EX In 2012, the popular RX range received the new Lexus corporate identity and signature spindle grille. For 2014, the RX has been refreshed even further with a new Appearance Pack that is now standard on the RX 350 EX model. This pack comprises a re-designed bumper with larger air intakes to boost the muscularity of the front view. Other changes include new 19-inch alloys (as opposed to the 18-inch units on the outgoing model), as well as LED-type front fog lamps. For the RX 450h SE, the latest upgrade includes the LED interior lighting package as well as the adoption of the Integrated Sport Driving system which enables the driver to tune the Drive Mode Select to Eco, Normal or Sport settings.

GWM M4 – Affordable crossover attitude QUICKPIC Following a very positive reception at last year’s Johannesburg International Motorshow (JIMS), GWM’s M4 compact crossover has now officially gone on sale in South Africa. The M4 has been such a smash-hit sales success in China, that it has been nick-named the GWM “Speed”, as a result of its quick sales. “The M4 is a ground-breaking vehicle for us, and actually creates an entirely new sub-niche in the crossover segment,” said GWM South Africa COO Warren Olsen. “It is smaller than vehicles such as the Ford EcoSport and Renault Duster, but offers more standard features and a very attractive sticker price. On the other hand it is also more obviously SUV-themed than cross-hatches such as our own C20R and the VW Vivo Maxx, so in effect it slots in between these two segments.” Undoubtedly one of the M4’s main attractions, this crossover’s cheeky looks are certain to generate lots of talk and turn many heads. It is a very compact vehicle, with an overall length of less than four metres, but with an SUV-rivalling ground clearance of more than 180 mm and stylish 16-inch alloy wheels, it certainly packs lots of attitude into those compact dimensions. Considering the M4’s high-value pricing, the design detailing will come as a surprise. The squared-off front-end features a gaping lower airdam flanked by fog lamps. Skidplates in a contrasting silver hue are fitted front and rear and black clad-

The M4 is more compact than other small crossovers, yet it remains a practical daily driver, with good levels of head, shoulder and legroom all-round. PHOTO: QUICKPIC ding around the sills and wheelarches round off the SUV look. Due to the C-pillar being blacked-out, the M4 gains a trendy “floating-roof” appearance that is further enhanced by the standard fitment of practical roof rails. The M4 is offered in South Africa in a choice of six vibey colours; Fashion Orange, Titanium White, Sky Silver, Pearl Black, Jazz Red and Ocean Blue. The style and modern design continues inside, where the M4 boasts a sporty instrument cluster with overlapping dials and an integrated digital speedometer display. The facia design features a V-shaped centre section with neatly separated control interfaces for the audio (in-

cluding a large digital screen) and ventilation systems. Vertically slanted ventilation outlets are located either side of the centre hangdown section. Neat black cloth upholstery and the use of silver trim accents on the facia and doors create an upmarket ambience. The M4 is more compact than other small crossovers, yet it remains a practical daily driver, with good levels of head-, shoulder- and legroom all-round. The boot measures a claimed 310 F, and a spare wheel is located under its floor. The rear seat is split 60:40 and can fold down to increase cargo space. As a direct consequence of the compact exterior dimensions and elevated ride height, visibility out of the M4 is ex-

cellent. Further boosting inner-city manoeuvrability is hydraulically assisted power steering. As customers have come to expect from GWM, the M4 boasts a comprehensive standard features count, including air-conditioning, electric windows/mirrors and an audio system with USB and auxiliarly plug-in support as well as Bluetooth capability. Driver comfort is further boosted by the fitment of a rake-adjustable steering wheel. Rear park assist helps drivers avoid those expensive parking scrapes. The M4 is powered by GWM’s trusty 1,5 F VVT-i engine that delivers 71,3 kW at 6 000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque to the front wheels via a slick five-speed manual transmis-

sion. The engine features variable valve timing, benefiting not only performance but also fuel economy. The M4 sips fuel at the rate of 7,2 F/100 km (combined cycle), translating to a CO2 emissions figure of 172 g/km. A top speed of 170 km/h is claimed. As is the case with all GWM vehicles, the M4 has been designed to meet global safety standards and boasts a comprehensive safety package. Dual front airbags and disc brakes all-round backed by ABS with EBD are fitted. Isofix child-seat mountings are mounted at the rear and the front seatbelts are heightadjustable. The rear doors also feature child locks. Fog lights front and rear boost visibility in poor weather conditions while security is provided by a standard immobiliser, with the further convenience of remote central locking. “The M4 is bound to appeal to a younger audience that places individuality, striking design and connectivity high on the priority list,” says brand manager, Hannes Oosthuizen. “At the price, there is simply nothing out there to match the cheekiness of the M4, but it is more than just a pretty face, too. The standard features list is comprehensive, as is the overall value package, courtesy of a 5 year/100 000 km warranty and 5 year/45 000 km service plan,” he adds. The M4 is available through GWM’s dealership network, currently boasting more than 70 outlets and service centres. GWM M4 1,5 VVT-i R189 999. The price includes a 5-years/45 000 km service plan.

New Renault Sandero ticks all the boxes QUICKPIC

Good. Better. Best-in-class . . . the new Renault Sandero hatch is on dealer showroom floors and in its pre-winter warm-up lap, is all set to etch its name into the hearts and minds of South African motorists. Every now and then, a car that ticks all the boxes comes along. New Sandero is one of this kind: modern and refined design, F1-inspired performance-plus engine boasting excellent fuel economy (5.2l/100 km combined cycle NEDC), unique-in-segment safety level and the inclusion of “big car” features and smart technology, this newcomer is way ahead of its competitors. “What you see is a vehicle fully representative of Renault’s heritage with every gene rooted in Renault’s DNA,” says Wayne van der Merwe, product manager for New Sandero. Because of its unparalleled value proposition, New Sandero is set to become the new reference among cars priced under R150 000, a strategic segment which weights no less than 60 000 sales per annum. Youthful and modern styling exudes a mix of discernible quality and refinement. While Renault’s ubiquitous, centre-piece diamondshaped badge dominates the black grille and underscores the brand’s new design identity, a trendy, integrated roof spoiler, body-coloured side mirrors and 15” wheels standard across the range, add to its up-to-the-minute exterior appeal. “The large headlamps and wide grille make for an expressive appearance. With its large ratio of metal to glazed surfaces, the profile exudes robustness and this impression is reinforced by the sculpted body, prominent wheel arches and hollow flanks. The pro-

nounced advance in the lower windscreen makes for a sleek silhouette and improved aerodynamics,” says David Durand, New Sandero design director. Inside the cabin, the quality of the materials used is tangible. To optimise driving pleasure, the dashboard features a sophisticated cluster with chrome detailing around the dials and boasts an array of techno-smart yet practical instrumentation. The upper-version Dynamique Turbo 66 kW pushes the boundaries in terms of refinement with standard 15” alloy wheels, front fog lights with chrome surrounds and body-coloured door handles. The perceived quality of the interior treatment is also impressive, with seats covered with dark padded fabric upholstery, chrome door handles and, as a truly classy touch, leather-clad steering wheel and gear lever knob. The attention paid to shape the seductive curves of New Sandero did not deter Renault designers from considering practical uses: New Sandero easily accommodates driver and four adult passengers plus luggage. Its best-in-class boot capacity (292 litres) can be even improved thanks to its 60/40 split rear bench, standard across the range. The spritely personality of the Turbo 66 kW engine exudes from its engaging sound as well as its best-in-class responsiveness in all conditions, thanks to its steady low-end torque which reaches a maximum of 135 Nm from 2 500 rpm, 90% of which being available from 2 000 rpm. “Thanks to its low-end torque, the Turbo 66 kW engine performs better than a 1.4 litre or 1.5 litre 4-cylinder normally aspirated petrol engine,” says Van der Merwe. “This is particularly evident at the reef, where the turbo almost offsets the negative effect on the performance generated by the altitude”.

Renault was the first engine manufacturer to introduce Turbo technology to F1 in 1977. The tools and talents used to design powerful, efficient and reliable F1 power plants are a key advantage when developing new technologically advanced engines for road-going cars.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC

New Sandero Turbo 66 kW boasts an impressive fuel consumption of 5.2 litres/100 km only (combined cycle NEDC), which is far better than its class mates and surprisingly low considering the performance and size of the new model. “You would expect such a low fuel consumption from a small city car – this is how impressive the fuel consumption of New Sandero Turbo 66 kW is” says Van der Merwe. New Sandero Turbo 66 kW emits only 119 g

CO² and is therefore exempt from CO² emission tax. Renault’s Complete Peace of Mind kicks in as soon as the deal is done. All New Sandero come with Renault’s industry-leading five-year/150 000 km warranty completed by a standard two-year/30 000 km service plan (service intervals: 15 000 km). Pricing starts at R133 900 for the entry level Expression and rises to R141 500 for the brand new Dynamique.
