Seeff Southern Suburbs licensee Andy Todd takes a closer look at the property market with news, analysis and vital industry information.
Where the heck are all these buyers coming from? Just when we thought it was time to have a breather after all the swallows had returned to their nests in Europe, the local buyers exploded onto the scene! Showhouse attendance is even higher than usual and web site hits are more than they were this time last year. It seems like this is not only relevant to the Southern Suburbs, but nationally the market seems to be strong. From the evidence in the Seeff sales figures in the Western Cape, it seems like all branches and franchises have reported a significant upturn in sales this year. So what is really happening? There seems to be a sustained positive attitude towards residential property – as residence and investment. Not only have sales prices shown stability and in some areas, steady increase as demand increases, but rentals are also increasing steadily.
4 | THE PROPERTY PAGES | MAY 2014
March Madness! According to the reported sales figures released by PropStats for March 2014, sales of over R600 million were reported for the Southern Suburbs – this is more than 50% up on the average reporting month! Much of this turnover was made up of foreign purchases – Seeff alone has concluded over R150 million year to date to foreign buyers in the Southern Suburbs.
And the prices? It seems that buyers are reluctant to spend in the upper end of the Southern Suburbs market at prices more than R30 million as evidenced by the sales achieved by all agencies recently. Even so, we know of at least 2 sales in the upper R20 million mark which collapsed as a result of the buyers not fulfilling their obligations. This can be an occupational hazard when dealing with a fast moving market especially when the heady weather of a Cape Town summer’s day can
persuade a tourist to impress the family by ‘buying’ a pad in the Cape – only to return to a miserable European winter and allow the whole thing to fall apart.
And the local buyers? As always, more than 75% of the properties sold in the Southern Suburbs are to people who already live here. This percentage seems to be a constant and this is still reflected in the movement of buyers in and out of property in the area. Buyer attendance at showhouses, especially in the school belt, reflects a significant increase in demand for property here. It is not unusual for property to be sold at full price, especially in the areas close to schools and in the price ranges to around R3,0 million. To conclude, do not delay your buying or selling decisions any further. Just call Seeff and one of our knowledgable agents will guide you every step of the way.
Property valuations in high demand as market booms I am a qualified property valuer and registered with South African Council for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP), which is a statutory body that regulates and enforces a strict code of conduct for valuers. (Property Valuers Profession Act, 2000 (Act No. 47 of 2000). My registration is that of a ‘Professional Valuer’ with no restrictions, and I have practised as a valuer for 22 years. My experience includes valuations for various financial institutions, consultancy work for the City of Cape Town, which includes the General valuation, supplementary valuations, objections and appeal court. Capital gains tax valuations, insurance valuations and divorce action valuations are also included within my scope of experience. I am a sworn appraiser for deceased estates for the Wynberg district. (Rosebank through to Muizenberg). Valuations encompass Commercial, Industrial, residential and special properties. The Seeff Southern Suburbs principal, Andy Todd, is spear heading a new venture into commercial and industrial sales and letting. I shall be providing a professional valuation service to accompany this. Our value added service extends from Woodstock to Tokai and surrounds. The following types of commercial and industrial properties will be the focal point of business. This would include valuation services and sales. • Vacant land • Offices and office blocks • Retail/Shops • Sectional title offices • Un sectionalised blocks of flats • Sectional title mini factories (Industrial) • Light industrial • Heavy industrial • Shopping centres • Specialised properties The following valuation services are offered: • Due diligence/acquisitions • Insurance valuations • Divorce • Deceased estates • Legal disputes • Municipal objections and representation in valuation court/appeal board. • Sales and purchases • Second opinions • Rental determination • General enquiries on the real rights of a property. • Assist in Bond application process. Valuation fees will be based on a set fee structure and will vary on the type of property
PROPERTY EDITORIAL and time required to complete the valuation. It should be born in mind that certain properties (commercial) require extensive research regarding establishing value. This would include market research on rentals, analysis of leases and rent rolls, expenses pertaining to the property and capitalisation rates. Establishing value for residential properties There are various value forming attributes that contribute to establishing market value. It is important to first understand market value. What is the definition of Market Value? It is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange in the open market on the date of valuation between an informed willing buyer and an informed willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Market value implies that the highest and best use of the property is taken into account. What is the meaning of Highest and Best Use? It is the most probable use of a property which is physically possible, appropriately justified, legally permissible, financially feasible, and which results in the highest value of the property being valued. So, what is the role and function of a property valuer and valuation process? First and foremost, a valuer requires a written instruction as to what is to be valued and why. The instruction should include the minimum of an erf number and street address. This is to enable the valuer to identify that the correct property is being valued and can confirm ownership.
Finally, what method of valuation is used to value a residential property? The generally accepted method for valuing residential properties is the direct approach or more commonly known as the comparable sales method. This is the primary method used by professional valuers and estate agents. In order to establish an estimate of a property’s market value, arm’s length comparable sales are used. Generally, three recent sales of similar/comparable type properties that are situated within close proximity, or comparable locality are identified. It is important to try and use similar ‘type’ properties that are comparable in erf size, building style, size of improvements, type of construction, accommodation offered and condition of improvements. One can then begin to understand the market value of the property to be valued. It may prove difficult to find exact comparable sales. In these circumstances, allowances and adjustments must be made for the differences. Rand adjustments are made for the differences between the subject property (property being valued) and the comparable sale. Valuers at times consult with resident agents that are familiar with the area, especially when market conditions are unfamiliar to the valuer. Established agents have an intimate understanding of their areas with a good understanding of the market, market conditions and market value. We can tailor our services to your needs.

How do we establish value for residential properties? There are various value forming attributes that contribute to establishing value. They are as follows: 1. Location. 2. View. 3. Size of erf. 4. Size of improvements. 5. Age of improvements. 6. Type of construction. 7. Accommodation offered. 8. Quality of fittings and finishes. 9. Access to municipal services. 10. Landscaping/garden. There are other factors, which are taken into account, such as security, lighting, general flow of the accommodation and special or unique attributes of the property. ‘Kerb appeal’, marketability, lettability and saleability are also factors considered when finalising value.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Calling all sellers – pent up demand points to ideal time to put your house up for sale The housing market seems to be taking on a different tone, shifting from an overwhelmingly buyers’ market to more favourable conditions for sellers in many areas. The prospects for sellers have improved month-on-month since about mid-last year and we have seen a strong start to this year, despite the economic setbacks and recent interest rate hike. As we head into the cooler months, the market remains fluid and demand continues to heat up. Cash-flush buyers and those with good credit records, armed with their deposits are taking advantage of the favourable buying
6 | THE PROPERTY PAGES | MAY 2014
conditions. Homes are selling faster, show house attendance is at record levels and in many high demand areas, sellers are getting better prices and even multiple offers. Consequently, much of the old stock has cleared out of the market and stock shortages are now the biggest challenge for the market. For the first time in five years this has opened up a window of opportunity for astute sellers to take advantage of the buoyant demand, but they would need to continue to price realistically. While there are buyers aplenty, buyers are smarter and not prepared to overpay. Although fluid, the market is still fluctuating and sellers should therefore continue to work with a credible real estate agent to ensure that
there is demand in the area before listing. Get the facts on what is selling and at what price ranges. The demand is there, but the price needs to be just right, overpriced homes are just not attracting interest. Going to market at an unrealistic price could set you back. Although we are beginning to see multiple offers, there is still no real bidding. So if your agent says it is a good offer and it is close to your asking price, it is probably advisable to accept it unless you have good reason to wait. You may just risk missing out on a good opportunity. Visit www.seeff.com for more information or to view the excellent selection of real estate buys on offer.

PROPERTY SCENE@SEEFF
ISSUE #05 KNOW YOUR AREAS’ HISTORY
HISTORIC CLAREMONT Until the arrival of Dutch colonists in 1652, the uncultivated veld of the Cape Peninsula was used by the nomadic Khoisan to grazed their cattle. The Dutch established an outpost on the shore of Table Bay, and in 1657 they established a number of farms south of the outpost. The most southerly of those original farms, named Louwvliet and Questenburg, are today covered by the suburbs of Claremont and Newlands. The area was agricultural for about 150 years. Other estates that were established included Veldhuyzen in 1676, Stellenberg in 1697, Weltevreden (originally part of Stellenberg) in 1730, Sans Souci (originally part of Questenburg) in 1786, and The Vineyard in 1798. They produced grain and grapes, and some farmers made wine. After the colony had been taken over by the British in 1814, the area gradually changed its character. British settlers and officials bought the farms, renamed some of them, and turned them into country residences. Weltevreden was subdivided in 1822, and it was a portion of it that was later to be renamed Claremont. The distinguished British astronomer Sir John Herschel put the area on the map by living at Feldhausen (formerly Veldhuyzen) from 1834 to 1838.
Village (1840–1886)
The village grew during the 1840’s and 1850’s. Public transport consisted of horse-drawn omnibuses which plied along the Main Road from 1837 until the railway was opened in 1864. In 1863, the Anglo-Italian immigrant and businessman John Molteno, who was later to become the Cape Colony’s first prime minister, bought 140 acres of land centred around the Claremont House estate. The property was subdivided and developed from 1897 onwards, and Claremont House itself, situated in modern terms between Molteno Road to Pine Road, was later demolished. However its two extensions, Greenfield House and Barkly House, still stand today as schools.
Claremont Train Station
The opening of the railway from Cape Town to Wynberg in 1864 spurred subdivision and development. The Feldhausen estate (also known as “The Grove”) was subdivided in 1869–1870. A new Congregational Church was built on the Main Road in 1877. The Claremont Hall was opened in 1879. The land along Lansdowne Road east of the railway line was subdivided and developed from 1882, creating a large residential area which is now known as “Harfield Village”.
Municipality (1886–1913)
A village began to develop on the main road near Feldhausen in the 1830’s, and by 1840 it had become known as ‘Claremont’. The annual Cape Almanac for 1840 described the area and stated that:
In 1882, a village management board was formed, and in 1886 it was replaced by the Municipality of Claremont, which managed neighbouring Newlands too. The privately owned Claremont Hall was taken over as a town hall. The first telephone system was installed in the early 1880’s.
The new village of ‘Claremont’ succeeds, near to which, on the left, is ‘Claremont House’, the property of R. Waters Esq, who has lately laid out the grounds with much taste, in the manner usually known as the English style of landscape gardening.
There was further residential development, with the subdivision of the Claremont House, Lansdowne, Milburn House, and Paradise estates in the 1890’s. An electricity power station was built, and an electric tramway
Claremont Train Station, 1988
service was introduced in 1897. The housing boom which followed the Anglo-Boer War saw the subdivision of further estates in the 1900’s. Most streets were named in 1903–1904, many of them thematically (e.g. after saints, explorers, British counties and towns, American presidents, and British politicians).
Suburb (1913– )
In 1913, Claremont and several other municipalities were incorporated into the city of Cape Town. Considerable residential growth took place in the 1920’s and 1930’s, when estates such as Palmyra, Keurboom, Ravensworth, Sanatorium Estate, The Vineyard, Wyndover, and Edinburgh Estate were subdivided and developed. An additional railway station, named “Harfield Road”, was built in 1931. The government enforced its apartheid system on Claremont in the 1960’s, forcing the Coloured residents to leave. As a result, large areas of the suburb stood derelict for several years. Claremont remained predominantly residential until the early 1970’s, when commercial development began. A major shopping mall, named Cavendish Square, was opened in 1973, and other shopping centres followed. There was a further building boom in the 1990’s, and the suburb is currently experiencing another, which includes the construction of three large apartment blocks, a hotel, two office blocks, the re-modeling of three other commercial buildings, and the construction of a transport interchange and a bypass road.

Living in luxury
Your living room is probably one of the most used rooms in your home - be it for parties, watching TV or quiet time. So, when it comes to decorating your living room and choosing a colour scheme, go for the design options that reflect your personality.
Most of us want to make our living spaces inviting and comfortable, but what exactly does it mean to make a room warm? If you’re not quite sure, we’re here to help. By making a few adjustments to a room’s color scheme, lighting, furniture arrangement and decorative accessories, you can change the mood and atmosphere of the room completely. Here are some tips to make your apartment feel warm and cozy.
Color Scheme It may seem like a no-brainer, but a warm color scheme mixed in with colder and darker shades can really transform the look and feel of a room. So, when keeping in mind the color scheme of your room, whether it’s paint, fabrics or decorative elements, choose warm colors of various shades that amplify the warm color scheme in the room. Colors like yellow, orange and red are warm colors and are great at reflecting natural light, creating an atmosphere of warmth in the room. If you want to remain more neutral, choose a beige or a yellow-based white, but avoid any blueor grey-based whites, as they will make the room look colder.
Plants Adding plants and flowers to your room is a great, inexpensive way to fill your apartment with warmth and life. So fill your apartment with potted plants and flowers or create a small home garden to make your room look lively and lived in. Choose plants and flowers that thrive well with minimal light and a limited amount of care, like a peace lily, 28 | THE PROPERTY PAGES | MAY 2014
African violet or a Boston fern. You’ll want to make sure that you keep a certain amount of natural light in your apartment to make sure your plants stay healthy and vibrant.
Lighting And speaking of lighting, another important way to make your apartment feel warm is to use both natural and artificial lighting elements to add coziness to a room. One simple solution is by placing a number of candles around the room, as candlelight tends to soften a room and some fragranced candles can add to the cozy atmosphere. If you have a fireplace in your apartment, it can serve as a central lighting element as well as a source of warmth in the colder months. Choose window treatments that will provide privacy but still allow for natural light to seep through, such as transparent curtains.
Decorative Elements It may seem like a simple idea, but the decorative elements you choose to jazz up your room with can really go a long way in creating a warm living space. Differing fabrics and textures can warm up a room, so keep that in mind when choosing furniture or upholstery. Choose a brightly colored area rug to tie the room together and provide an additional layer of comfort. Adding abundant throw pillows and cushions to armchairs and sofas softens and adds warmth and makes the room feel more welcoming.

LOVE YOUR LIVING ROOM
When decorating your living room, don’t be afraid of bright colors, but don’t go overboard either. Stick with neutral sofas, armchairs and ottomans and go bold with accessories — that way, you can easily swap out the small things when a new colour scheme is in order. Picture frames, rugs, cushions and curtains are all great for adding colour, while mirrors, table lamps and ceiling lights can help light flow throughout the space. Hang colourful artwork on the walls, and even add an accent wall by choosing a trendy new paint color. This can be as simple as painting a specific wall, but you could be more adventurous and use stone cladding, a bright and zingy wallpaper or one of many paint techniques now available.

Practical ways to create cozy winter corners With winter around the corner, keeping your home cozy and creating warmth can be practical and doesn’t have to be a hugely expensive exercise. Depending on your budget, this can be easy and stressfree through the use of accessories or by making small interior changes. When creating your dream room, rather spend more on solid, quality pieces like sofas, chairs and other larger furniture pieces and keep these in more solid colours. Add splashes of your favourite tones by using cheaper accessories, which won’t cost much to change as the seasons or trends change. For winter, stick to warmer colours like reds, oranges and warmer yellows and combine these with natural elements like wood and thick natural fiber rugs. This will give any room a warm feeling and can easily be changed to cooler colours in spring and summer. Changing an accent wall colour is another effective way to change the look and feel of any room and again, the use of warmer tones should be considered for the colder
months. Picking up these colours in the use of an interesting wallpaper print, instead of a solid colour on the chosen wall, not only creates interest but also a focal point for the room. Candles or a fireplace add the ultimate feeling of warmth and creates an immediate atmosphere and ambience during winter. Today, cost effective options exist on the market for installing a fireplace and these do not necessarily mean a big construction project. Many flueless fireplace models are available on the market in both gas or as ecofriendly biofuel options and most are very easy to install. For gas models, the biggest consideration would be the installation and storage of the gas supply and an approved installer should always be consulted to do this. Creating your dream winter corner in any part of your home can both be inexpensive, rewarding and easy to do without the help of a professional, but for larger projects always consider consulting a professional decorator, designer or architect which could save a lot of time and expensive mistakes.

Father’s Day Celebrate Father’s Day this June 15, 2014.
The history and origins of Father’s Day can be traced back more than 4,000 years ago. In Babylon, a son called Elmesu carved a message to his father on a clay card. Elmesu wished his father a long and happy life.
A17514
Though fathers have been revered through the centuries, the official recognition of Father’s Day only happened in the early 1900's. Several people are credited for furthering the cause of Father’s Day, but Ms. Sonora Louise Smart Dodd is seen as the key person in making this great celebration happen. Sonora Dodd is seen as the Mother of the Fathers Day Festival. In 1909, Sonora overheard a a Mother's Day sermon, and begun to recognize the hardships that her father must have gone through while bringing up his family. When Sonora was 16, her mother died during childbirth, and left her father, Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, to raise his six children and the newborn on his own. Sonora pondered the fact that there was a day for mothers, but not for fathers. Initially, many people laughed at her idea, but her mind was made up. She began a sincere campaign lobbying for the cause of Father’s Day, and finally, her efforts began to show. On June 19, 1909, along with the support of Spokane Ministerial Association and the local Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), the first Father’s Day was celebrated.

Sonora wished for Father’s Day to be held on the day of her Fathers birthday, but due to time constraints, the celebration was held on the third Sunday in June. And that tradition has lasted throughout the times. Source: www.southafricaexplorer.co.za

Dachshund Adult and Dachshund Junior – The Long and the Short of it! Naturally friendly and free from nervousness and aggression, Dachshunds are ideal family dogs. Passionate hunters characterised by perseverance, liveliness and a good nose they are literally in a class of their own. These busy little dogs were bred to flush badgers but became versatile hunting and tracking dogs. Dachshunds (Standard, Miniature and Rabbit) are divided according to their coats (Smooth or Shorthaired, Longhaired and Wirehaired). Dachshunds reach 26 to 36cm in height, and weigh up to 7kg while Miniature Dachshunds weigh less than 4,5kg. Dachshunds’ physical characteristics place unique demands and stresses on joints and spine: · Growth. At 10 months, puppies weigh 20 times their birth weight. Skeletal development requires a precise protein, mineral and calcium content. · Adult Teeth. Puppies need to be encouraged to crunch their food in order to slow ingestion and promote oral hygiene · Digestive Safety. Puppies are unable to digest large quantities of food. · Protection from harsh environment. Initially, puppies benefit from maternally transmitted
antibodies in their mother’s milk but this is lost by 12 weeks of age. Health nutrition assists during this “immunity gap”. Royal Canin’s Dachshund Junior is a tailored nutrition formulated for this popular dog from weaning to 10 months: · Kibble. The kibble provides a mechanical brushing effect. Calcium chelators reduce tartar formation. This is important as tartar can cause health problems later on and expensive dental care treatments. · Joint Development Support. Glucosamine, chondroitin EPA & DHA help in the development and maintenance of joints. · Stool & Odour Reduction. Helps reduce stool volume and odour. · Increases Natural Defences. Helps maintain a healthy immunity system. · Digestive Safety. Low indigestible proteins (LIP) ensure maximum digestibility When the puppy reaches 10 months of age, he is fully grown and considered an adult. His diet must thus change to the Adult formula, as he is no longer in the active growth phase.
Dachshunds need protection against agerelated risks. Dachshund Adult provides the following benefits: · Joint Support. Glucosamine, chondroitin and EPA-DHA fatty acids help support joints and maintain optimal cartilage hydration. · Muscle Tone and Ideal Weight. Maintains lean muscle mass and combats weight gain. · Longevity. Helps maintain vitality as the dog ages. · Stool and Odour Reduction. Helps reduce stool volume and odour. · Digestive Safety. High quality and high digestibility make it a perfectly suited diet. Remember that your dog needs to visit a veterinarian for annual vaccinations and deworming and as necessary. For more information on Royal Canin breed specific health nutrition visit www.royalcanin. co.za.
The adult’s body type and high energy can cause premature hardening of growth cartilage. The Dachshund needs a specialised diet because of the following factors: · Joint Protection. Short legs absorb shocks less effectively placing enormous exertion on the forequarters and spinal column. · Weight Management. Ideal weight must be maintained and muscle tone encouraged. · Longevity. With a long life expectancy,

WRINKLE FREE BEAUTY
By Dr Maureen Allem
Botulinum injections gives a more youthful, relaxed and refreshed appearance to the face. It lifts the brows making the eyes appear wider. Long-term use will prevent brow and jaw line ptosis (droop). With an experienced injector, getting Botulinum injections is a quick, safe procedure with no downtime. Which areas of the face does Botulinum injections treat? Mostly on the upper face, Botulinum diminishes the horizontal wrinkles on the forehead. It relaxes the vertical dynamic frown line between the brows and it reduces the appearance of crow’s feet on either side of the eyes. On the lower face, Botulinum can be used along the jawline for a jowl lift by decreasing a mouth frown and saggy jowls. It can be injected into the masseter muscle to change the shape of the jaw. It can also be used for a neck lift by injecting stringy muscle bands which pull the jowl area down. When will you see results? Within four days of the treatment a person will start to see an improvement in their lines with the final result “kicking in” about 10 to 14 days later. How often does a person need to redo their Treatment? The result can last up to four months but varies from patient to patient. It also depends on the initial amount of Botulinum units given. With repeated Botulinum treatments, the result of Botulinum injections may last for longer periods. Some patients have a hyperactive brow. In these patients a shorter effect can be expected as the Botulinum is quickly “worked” out.

10 ways to sneak exercise into a busy schedule With technology as it is these days – smartphones being the norm rather than the exception, global meetings just a Skype call away and e-mail exchanges at the rate of knots - we are often instantly available 24/7. This can create immense pressure in our lives as people have come to expect instant replies and action. Sadly – with work just being one demand on us, not to mention all the other roles we may play in life - exercise is often the so-called “unnecessary element” that gets dropped from the schedule. BAD CHOICE! Let us help you find ones to activate your day. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), advises that even just using your body weight in strength-training exercises is adequate so often you don’t even need equipment to sneak in these snippets of exercise in a hectic schedule.
1. Home based exercise a. There are lots of ways to get an extra work out at home. It is easy to increase your proprioceptive balance by practicing balancing on one leg while performing tasks like cooking or brushing your teeth. Once you have mastered this you can make it harder by adding small movements like calf raises or bending down to pick things up. Increasing proprioception has many advantages, like increasing your ankle stability which reduces your chances of falls and sprains.
2. Office based exercise a. Tricep dips, push ups and sit-to-stands as well as walking around are easy ways to get some extra work into your day at the office. Because of the time spent sitting behind a desk, our lower bodies and even upper bodies are not utilised nearly enough. Simple exercise can be used to break the monotony of your work day. Sit-tostands and walking are the best way to increase blood flow to the legs, while the tricep dips and push ups by your desk get your arms involved.
3. Driving and Parking tactics a. While idling in traffic you can perform a number of exercises to strengthen your core and shoulder stabilisers. Transverse Abdominus (T.A) activation is a top choice for core strength while scapular setting is a must for the shoulders. (Ask our Biokineticists at SSISA how to do these two exercises). Traffic is part and parcel of getting to and from work and once again you find a lot of time spent sitting. Correct posture forces the core muscles to do a bit more work when sitting. b. Try parking a little further at work. This will increase your walking distance to your office and will definitely add to your fitness. If you find this too easy – then speed up the pace or take the stairs as well. Why not purchase an OMRON pedometer and monitor your daily steps? Ultimately – if you can succeed to accumulating
10 000 steps a day – you will achieve amazing health benefits.
4. Coffee and lunch breaks a. Get up and walk around while the kettle boils, or make sure you eat lunch away from your office. You can even use this time to catch up with work colleagues.
5. Breathing and posture a. At your desk focus on core exercises. Bracing your core, TA and back strength are easy ways to get these muscles strong.
6. Personal/buddy training a. Being accountable to someone, is another way to ensure you get your workout. The added motivation and decreased pressure to plan a workout might improve your motivation.
7. Shorter sessions/mixing exercises a. A lot can be accomplished in short harder sessions. According to the ACSM guidelines 15 to 20 minutes of moderate to hard physical activity most days of the week, is all that is needed to maintain health in adult populations.
8. Speed it up
Speeding up the pace of your everyday activities is a different form of increasing the intensity of activities. This will help burn fat leading to increased muscle tone as well as getting things done faster.
9. Stand more (phoning, working and warming up) a. Sitting has become another silent killer as long periods spent sitting leads to a lower basal metabolic rate and an increase in several risk factors. Ideally if you work at a desk station - you should get up for a few minutes every hour. .
10. Passive stretching a. Sitting at a desk can also lead to decreased flexibility – so stretch regularly. This will help maintain flexibility and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries during exercise.

7 Benefits of Having a Fireplace in Your Home Fireplaces are favorite amenities that most buyers consider a plus when searching for a new home. These creature comforts add an extra touch of architectural vitality to a house, inside and out. There are plenty of great benefits to having a fireplace in your home, and here are seven of them:
Cozy Fires
No other type of heating appliance offers the kind of cozy warmth that you can only get from a fire. Whether you have an open hearth, a fireplace insert, a wood stove, or a pellet stove, you can watch the fire dancing as the outside cold melts away. Fireplaces offer a cheerful place to gather around crackling flames with family and friends, to pull up in a favorite chair and read a good book, and enjoy countless other favorite indoor activities.
A Romantic Setting
Sitting in front of a fire with the person you love, perhaps sipping wine, can be very romantic. Few features in the home offer an instant potentially dreamy escape, like a
fireplace. Parents who have trouble finding a babysitter can enjoy a romantic fireside atmosphere, without having to go anywhere.
Warmth when the Electricity is Out
When the worst kinds of winter storms hit, electricity is often knocked out. If you have a fireplace, you can still keep warm and have plenty of light. People without fireplaces are freezing cold and waiting for the utility company to restore power.
Fire for Cooking
If you have a wood burning stove, you have the added benefit of being able to cook on it. Save money on your utility bill by heating your soup or coffee on the stove as the fire warms your home. Whenever the electricity is out in any season, meals won’t be a problem, since you can still cook. Even with an open hearth fireplace, you can roast marshmallows and hot dogs on sticks.
Eco-Friendly Heating
Today’s wood burning appliances are incredibly efficient, producing plenty of heat to warm your home, meaning you can use less of the fossil-fueled energy supply. Some of the latest models even make it possible to distribute the heat from the appliance throughout the home using existing ductwork. In addition, when you burn wood, you
are using a source that has a zero carbon footprint. Some top-of-the-line wood burning appliances produce such a small amount of emissions, they qualify as smokeless heat sources. Wood is a sustainable energy source.
Cut Energy Costs
As electricity costs continue to climb, fireplaces are becoming a popular primary heating source. It costs less to purchase firewood for your efficient wood burning appliance than to heat your home using utilities that depend on fossil fuels.
Energy Independence
Fireplaces provide an opportunity to be less dependent upon utility companies. You can take responsibility over your own fuel source, including how much you pay, due to various options as far as where and how to obtain firewood. If you own a lot of heavily wooded property, you may even have an endless supply of free firewood. As wonderful as fireplaces are, they can also be fire hazards. An important safety measure is to have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional chimney sweep every year. Contact us today so that you can enjoy all the great benefits of your fireplace without worry. Source: www.ctsweep.com

Legends of Stonehurst Mountain Estate
– Glynis Coetzee Estate Manager “No, not StoneHENGE,” I said, “StoneHURST” This was in reply to a query from a friend about the large security estate above Westlake Golf Course in the Southern Suburbs where, in 2007, I had just began building a luxury home for another friend, resident abroad at the time.
property values are maintained. There are three main residential sections of the development; Stonehurst Close comprising 30 properties in a group scheme surrounding a charming children’s play park, complete with water feature; Stone Village, also a group scheme, comprising 82 residences for lock up and go living, and the nearly 200 single residential individual erven spread over the extensive remainder of the 100 hectares, interspersed with natural footpaths, streams, lakes and indigenous fynbos throughout the private open spaces.
SECURE LIVING
Stonehurst was the brainchild of developer Mvelaprop, the property development holding company formed through a joint venture by Tokyo Sexwale’s Mvelaphanda Holdings Investment Company. This involved the development of part of the old Silvermine Naval Base in Tokai into an upmarket residential security Estate. The development became known as Stonehurst Mountain Estate, and is a prime 100 hectare site adjacent to the Constantia Valley area. Phase 1 and 2 of Stonehurst were immediately sold out when these became available, with prospective buyers actually queuing through the night to ensure they had first choice of the nearly 200 properties on offer.
Because of the high level of security residents enjoy, with an electrified perimeter fence, regular 24 hour security patrols and biometric access control to ensure careful screening of visitors, Stonehurst sometimes seems to be somewhat of an enigma to the rest of the Constantia Valley, and in the tradition of ‘best kept secrets’, is just perfect for those seeking privacy, fine living and a secure lifestyle. Anyone who has lived anywhere in Cape Town knows that the wind blows. There are a few areas that are spared the prevailing wind – parts of Newlands, and Bantry Bay / Clifton – but the price for this is in the case of the latter, a very high property price, and in the former, the excess rainfall being near the mountain. Some areas are more exposed than others, and it must be said that when the South Easter (the world famous ‘Cape Doctor’) blows, it really blows. Parts of Stonehurst are not spared this, but over the past five years I have noted that the frequency of ‘windy days’ is no worse at Stonehurst, as just about anywhere else in Cape Town. Try living in ‘Vredehoek’ (Peaceful Corner) in the City Bowl, a misnomer of note, or anywhere from Camps Bay to Milnerton and all the way up the West Coast if you want to talk about wind.
AND THE REST IS HISTORY
ENTERTAINMENT
This reference to the ancient mystical site situated in the English county of Wiltshire was not entirely without irony, as I later found out, as over the last five years of my involvement with the Estate, it has become apparent that Stonehurst Mountain Estate seems to have a few myths and legends surrounding its origins, existence and the lifestyle. What follows is an overview to clarify some of these.
IN THE BEGINNING
Since 2006 the Estate has continued to develop into one of the most sought-after residential security Estates in South Africa, with individual properties valued in the millions of Rand. As with most residential estates, Stonehurst has architectural design guidelines which property owners are obliged to adhere to when designing and building their homes to ensure that the high standards of design, finishes and consequentially the 54 | THE PROPERTY PAGES | MAY 2014
One of the many unique features of the Estate is the Lifestyle Centre. This amenity, provided for the residents to enjoy, has function facilities, including a lounge, bar, garden and braai area, a fully equipped gym managed by an operator, an indoor training pool, a kiddies pool, as well as the Estate Management offices from where the general operations of the Estate are run. The Estate Entertainment committee organises regular estate events for the residents and their guests to enjoy,
such as dinners, music, quiz and comedy evenings, as well as offering conferencing facilities, business breakfasts in addition to holiday activities and movie nights for the children. These activities are designed to build a sense of belonging, and residents can choose to participate and increase their social interaction within the Stonehurst community.
FINE LIVING
Stonehurst’s unique position at the beginning of the ‘Blue Route’ M3, means that residents have easy access to not only the main routes into the city of Cape Town, but also over Ou Kaapse Weg to the South Peninsula, via Boyes Drive to the Kalk Bay / Simonstown coast and via the scenic routes through the Southern Suburbs wine lands. The Estate is also situated within immediate access to a number of the top schools in the Western Cape, as well as to amenities such the Westlake Golf Course, excellent restaurants, local businesses and exclusive shopping centres.
NATURALLY
The Estate’s proximity to the Cape Nature managed Silvermine Nature Reserve also means that residents enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding mountainside, as well as the magnificent views which the elevated position of the Estate offers. The area is popular for walking, hiking, picnicking, and mountain biking. There are a number of sandstone cave systems in the reserve and there are rock climbing routes on Muizenberg. Perhaps some of the mystery which surrounds Stonehurst is as a result of this unique location, and that the rationale behind many of the design guidelines is to ensure that the Estate integrates visually and sensitively with the impressive backdrop of the mountain, remaining as unobtrusive and private as possible. As a ‘dark sky’ development, which discourages light pollution, as an Estate with all the attributes mentioned, and as a development which encourages sustainable home design, water saving, environmentally sensitive building techniques as well as alternative energy use, Stonehurst Mountain Estate can proudly promote their ethos of “fine living – naturally”.

10 Great exercise ideas for family fitness By Lynn Yoffee
Exercise doesn’t have to be all about calisthenics. These activities help you make it fun! Before our lives were so high-tech, family members were more physically active and got plenty of exercise naturally. Today, however, we go everywhere by car and sit for hours in front of the TV or computer. This sedentary lifestyle has been tied to obesity and a slew of related-health problems ranging from diabetes to depression. Dr. Shannon also suggests limiting any other sedentary distractions such as sitting at the computer. “Put your computer in a common area so kids are not in their bedrooms for hours at a time,” he says. Now that you’ve set the ground rules for sedentary activities, plan some family togetherness time. The idea is to get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise every day. So, how can you get your family moving in a way that’s fun and doesn’t feel like a punishment? Here are some easy ways to reach that goal together.
Walk to school
Lace up your walking shoes and join the kids for a brisk walk to and from school each day.
60 | THE PROPERTY PAGES | MAY 2014
Check out physical participation video games
“I’m delighted with some of the newer action toys such as the [Nintendo] Wii games. People have the ability to play tennis, bowling, baseball, skateboarding, and snowboarding,” Shannon says. “Kids love them. I’m generally trying to get kids away from the TV, but in this case, if they are swinging a bat or dancing, it’s great.”
Build strong bones
Be sure to include bone-strengthening exercise as well, such as hopscotch, jumping rope, gymnastics, or volleyball — any “weightbearing” activity, one that you do standing up.
Take a tour of the park
Make going to the park a reward for a job well done, a good test grade, or anything that deserves a positive non-food reward. When you get there, play a fast game of Frisbee or pitch a ball.
Turn birthdays into an active adventure
Make your presents for birthdays related to activities. Plan a family ski or snow-tubing day trip or visit a nearby zoo. A bike makes a great gift for every family member, as does a basketball hoop in the driveway and a badminton net in the back yard. Make sure that Mom and Dad are included in the bike rides and pick-up games, too.
Get to the playground
Muscle-strengthening exercise doesn’t mean just weight lifting. Take the kids to the playground to swing on the bars, climb a tree, or play tug-of-war.
Go to the head of the class
To learn a new activity, take a class together, such as martial arts, dance, or yoga — a favorite among hard-to-please teen girls.
Walk the dog
Treat your dog to daily walks that include the entire family.
Plant a garden
Whether you choose fruit and vegetables or just some pretty flowers, get the kids involved in an organic gardening project. They’ll get some brisk exercise digging, planting, and weeding. Then the whole family can enjoy the fruits of their labor with fresh produce and cut flowers.
Follow your kids’ lead
“This year I bought my granddaughter the Playskool Dance Cam because she loves to dance,” Shannon says. “It takes a picture of a child dancing and puts it on TV dancing with cartoon characters. My basic words of advice are ‘go with the flow.’ If your child shows interest in some activity, such as dancing, encourage it and go with her to participate.” Source: http://www.everydayhealth.com

SOCIAL COMMUNITY
These Shoes are made for Working A unique shoe drive to raise funds, support microenterprise in developing nations and help the environment. A CAPE TOWN INITIATIVE April – July 2014 The Union of Jewish Woman (UJW) a National registered NGO committed to providing services to needy communities invites you to assist us in a very exciting initiative. We aim to collect 25,000 pairs of shoes between April – July 2014. Through this initiative we will be supporting thousands of previously unskilled and unemployed men and woman in third world countries to have the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to repair and restore these shoes to their original glory and then sell them to earn an income to support their families! We would really appreciate it if you would consider supporting this initiative. We are looking for any 2nd hand shoes (yours, your children’s, husbands) which can be donated to our campaign. All you have to do is collect as many pairs of shoes as possible and contact me to arrange collection. Your support of this initiative will ensure that you are part of the solution to creating skills development and job creation. Please also forward this invitation to your networks. We appreciate your consideration of our request and look forward to working together to support this incredible initiative! For more information, contact Amanda Zar on 083 601 8076 or amanda@atozfundraising.co.za.
