property angle by JAMES LEWIS Southern Suburbs and Hout Bay rental markets are thriving The rental market across Southern Suburbs and Hout Bay is performing extremely well with opportunities for landlords and tenants alike. Aside from corporate rentals, we continue to see an influx of people into both residential areas, especially from other inland areas such as Johannesburg and Pretoria. Renting is often preferred as an initial option as it gives newcomers to the areas time to look around before buying.
Aside from strong demand for holiday and corporate rentals, the village too is seeing an influx of people from other provinces, especially from Gauteng. We are also finding an influx of people from within the metro itself, the northern and southern suburbs and families from the Atlantic Seaboard looking for a bit more yard space. Holiday rentals tend to spike over the summer periods, but demand extends to about the end of April with European visitors choosing that time of the year to travel to a warmer climate. The two big Cape Town sporting events, the Argus Cycle Race and Two Oceans Marathon, as well as the Easter weekend holidays are also a big boost for short term rentals. Daily rates in the village now start at around R2 000 per day for a two bedroomed apartment and range to R6 000 per day for a three to four bedroomed house in a security estate or with good views.
The southern suburbs is popular with families given that it has the highest number of schools per square kilometer in the country along with a number of tertiary educational institutions, including the University of Cape Town.
Monthly rental rates for a two bedroomed apartment ranges to about R10 000 while a three bedroomed townhouse can achieve up to R18 000. A nice family house with a swimming pool can go for upwards of R28 000 per month to as much as R35 000 on average.
Areas such as Claremont, Newlands and Kenilworth with its cosmopolitan vibe and infrastructure also attract young people, especially young professionals and this together with the student market drives massive demand for apartment rentals.
For landlords, working with a rental agency has become preferable and we have seen notable growth in our rental business. The demand is such that we are always short of rental stock and we have seen an increase in investors buying apartments to let.
Monthly rental rates now start at around R7 500 for studio apartments and up to R12 000 per month for a two bedroomed unit. Family homes range from around R25 000-R70 000 on average, but can go to about R120 000 for a top end furnished home.
Working with a credible agency also provides peace of mind for the tenant, especially in view of the rise in internet and property fraud.
Hout Bay too has seen strong demand for the wonderful laid-back village lifestyle on offer, yet with top class facilities including The International School in the vicinity.

Woodstock and surrounds top of the list for smart city buyers looking for excellent investment value Smart buyers have been heading to the new investment hot spots of Woodstock, Walmer Estate, University Estate and Salt River on the cusp of the sought-after City Bowl area according to Craig Algie and George Clelland, Seeff’s agents for the area. Buyers who are now finding the central city prices a bit steep have been heading here. Consequently, demand for property has not only increased, but there is now a shortage of stock and excellent opportunity for potential sellers. The good value on offer, central location and ease of access into the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and even the southern suburbs is a big draw-card for the area. Young professionals are seeing the potential of renovating older homes in Woodstock while family buyers tend to favour Walmer and University Estates. We are also seeing interest from Johannesburg buyers.
That amounts to a growth rate of 53% in under three years and already 15% up year-on-year. It is always good for buyers to get in sooner rather than later. Buying early on means that you benefit from excellent value growth as demonstrated in the preceding paragraph.
Famous for the Old Biscuit Mill and other popular hot spots such as the Woodstock Exchange and the Palms Centre, Woodstock is benefiting significantly from the rising trend in urban renewal, a return to artisan craft and the demand for urban living. The area is therefore seen as one of the most exciting property investment hot spots in the city right now. The variety of property options too is a big draw card. These include for example apartments that start at around R900 000 for a one-bedroomed unit and range to around R3 million for an upmarket three-bedroomed duplex. Houses start at around R1.2 million for a two-bedroomed semi and range to about R4 million for a large family home.
The opportunity to buy, renovate and sell on for a profit also exists in the area. Seeff for example recently concluded a sale where the purchaser bought two houses on a single erf for R1.2 million (R600 000 each) and, after renovating, each unit is now worth about R1.5 million. The investment value is further illustrated when looking at the price growth in the area. In Woodstock for example, the average price for a freehold property was R921 000 in 2012. In 2014 this had risen to R1.225 million and in 2015 we are currently sitting at R1.411 million based on the latest Lightstone data.
SOLD
Some of the best opportunities are currently in Lower Woodstock, between Victoria and Albert Roads, and Salt River. Properties here are still coming of a relatively low base and are showing excellent capital appreciation.
This modern three-bedroomed duplex family home in Walmer Estate was sold by Seeff for R2.882 million

Property market still favours sellers Despite a generally more subdued economic mood setting in, the property market retains its upbeat outlook. Agents remain optimistic about the rest of the year and continue to cite stock shortages as the biggest challenge for the market right now. On the whole, the market continues to favour sellers. Most agents are now working with lists of ready buyers, quite a change from two years ago. Properties are still selling faster compared to preceding years, often before they are even put on show. Prices remain firm. In some areas, up to 40% of sales are now concluded at close to or full asking price. In some instances, buyers are even paying more than the asking price to secure their dream home. For the most part, the oversupply of properties, including the large volume of distressed stock, that characterised the market for about five years post-2007/8, has largely now been sold. Even the secondary holiday markets are reporting favourable conditions and stock shortages.
FROM THE CHAIRMAN
SAMUEL SEEFF
The banks are still lending and the low interest rate continues to boost buying in the sub-R1.5 million sector of the market. As a group, Seeff continues to see strong gains with our sales once again up year-on-year in most areas. This is still a very positive phase for property and sellers in particular. We would urge potential sellers to take advantage and guard against holding back in the hope of price hikes. There are simply too many constraining economic factors, not least of which a looming interest rate hike and higher transfer duty at the top end that is already beginning to affect sales. We are delighted to present some of our exclusive property listings. Be sure to also visit www.seeff.com to view Seeff’s excellent selection of real estate buys or to find your nearest branch if you are looking to sell or obtain a valuation for your property.

GROW YOUR MONEY THROUGH SIMPLE AND SECURE ONLINE INVESTING Want to make your money grow to add to your property portfolio or to enter the property market? Beanstalk’s online investment platform is the answer, offering simple and secure digital investing. THE EASY WAY TO INVEST Investing is generally hard work, requiring a lot of time, effort and brain space. But digital investing from Beanstalk is changing this. The easy-to-use, secure online platform was created to remove the reasons why many people delay saving and investing their money: fear, lack of time, lack of access to investment advice and a lack of knowledge. The result is secure, accessible and convenient investing where you can invest according to your means and personal objectives in credible and well-managed investment funds.
CHOOSING WHERE TO INVEST When it comes to growing your wealth, buying a property or having a portfolio of properties is commonly regarded as a smart way to invest your money. It is relatively stable compared to the ups and downs of the share market, you can boost your cash flow by earning a rental income while the value of your property appreciates, and the risk of losing your capital is lower. But is property investing mutually exclusive to ‘traditional’ share investing? Or can they be complementary? And how?
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS Depending on how you’re currently invested or whether you have invested any money at all, there are different options available to you:
First-time investor If you have not set aside money to invest before, it is likely that you haven’t done so because you felt you don’t have enough to put away something extra. However, the truth is that even a little can go a long way over the long term.
“With Beanstalk, you can make your money work for you, irrespective of how much money or investment experience you have.” This is known as the power of compound interest, which means you earn interest on your interest, making a little grow into a lot over time. Because buying a property generally requires quite a large amount of capital to cover all the
costs, investing a small amount in a suitable unit trust is a good way to start growing what you have. This may help you buy a property without too much financial pressure at a later stage, if that is what you wish to do.
Prospective property buyer If you are interested in buying a property and have started doing your research, you would be aware of all the costs and expenses you need to take into account before you make a purchase, for example an adequate deposit, transfer duties and lawyer’s costs. To help you make provision for these, investing in a suitable short-term investment instrument can help you save up for these expenses until you can buy the property. If your money grows enough, you can also use a portion of your savings to cover any restoration or maintenance costs if necessary.
Single property owner If you already have a property, you may want to find an alternative way to grow your money faster than the appreciation of the property market to, for example,
TRY.BEANSTALK.CO.ZA
pay off your bond faster, renovate or upgrade the property, or to start saving for a second property to add to your portfolio. Investing in unit trusts is a great way to do so. It also enables you to diversify your portfolio to protect yourself from downs in the property market.
Extensive property portfolio If you already have an extensive property portfolio, diversifying and balancing your portfolio into unit trusts and off shore investment funds is a great way to protect yourself from downs in the property market and immediate liquidity needs. It can also provide you with a profitable alternative for when you sell one of your properties and want to continue growing the proceeds.
INVEST THE SMART AND SIMPLE WAY Irrespective of in which of these categories you fall, Beanstalk can help you grow your money regardless of your means and goals. It makes it easy to invest, simplifies your choices and does all the fund research for you in an accessible and secure way. At the heart of this approach is Beanstalk’s belief that all investors’ fears about money choices are fundamentally the same, irrespective of how much money they have. Everyone wants access to the best options, everyone wants a great return with the least amount of risk and everyone wants transparent and fair pricing.
BENEFITS OF BEANSTALK
INVESTING IS PERSONAL
• You enjoy the benefits of independent financial advice.
The basic principles of successful investing will always hold true:
• All the funds available on the Beanstalk website have undergone thorough pre-screening and analysis. This means you can have peace of mind that all funds have at least a five-year track record, are approved by the Financial Services Board and are managed by the best, well-known and reputable asset managers.
• Start saving as early as you can.
• Because they are independent and not tied to one provider, Beanstalk has no conflict of interest in matching the most suitable fund to an investor need. • You can complete the entire investment process digitally – electronic signatures, made possible with the internationally recognised leader in e-signature technologies, Adobe Echosign, which means you don’t have to print and post any documents.
MARK MOIR BEANSTALK - INFORMED ONLINE INVESTMENTS 021 828 2890 mark@beanstalk.co.za
• Don’t put all your savings in one place. • Research your options yourself or be sure that you are getting independent and impartial advice about your options from someone that you can trust. • Professional and independent advice really does give you peace of mind – and research has shown that ordinary people who have a trusted adviser are happier about their money decisions and make better money decisions. But, depending on your circumstances and how much money you have, or which part of your investment portfolio you are reviewing, you will apply these principles slightly differently. Buying a property or a portfolio of properties can be very profitable for some investors, whereas renting and earning higher returns on share investments may be a better solution for others.

Refresh - Rejuvenate - Revitalize For over 130 years, Simmons has been at the very forefront of innovation in the manufacture of mattresses. Teams of medical experts and engineers, engaged by Simmons, work relentlessly to evolve better designs and to harness cutting-edge technology. By thus committing itself to delivering better sleep through science™, Simmons ensures that sleepers, in over 150 countries of the world, enjoy undisturbed, sound and comfortable sleep. A Simmons mattress uses pocketed coils. This technology enables the coils to be “pre-compressed” so that for ever after they have to push up. For this reason a Simmons mattress feels firmer and steadier. Pocketed coils are also most effective in stopping motion transfer. The tossing and turning of one partner therefore does not disturb the other partner. The blessing of undisturbed sleep over a life time is the richest reward for sleeping on a Simmons mattress. The tossing and turning of one partner generally causes the other partner to come out of deep sleep and this impacts significantly on the health of the sleeper because it is precisely during deep sleep that the vital regeneration of the body takes place. If deep sleep is disturbed, the regeneration of the body itself is disturbed. What common sense has held for centuries, modern research has now confirmed: abundant and undisturbed high-quality sleep constitutes a fundamental component of good health, cognitive development, and longevity!
SIMMONS is not just a mattress – it is the sleep solution that every sleeper seeks!

diy for the home
diyhome how to make stylish outdoor pallet seating Bring rustic, repurposed charm to your deck or porch with shipping pallets and cushions.
MATERIALS NEEDED • 1 wooden shipping pallet for seat structure
• 1x6 cedar planks
• 1 wooden shipping pallet for seat top
• nail gun
• measuring tape • pencil • circular saw • 2" deck screws • angle brackets • 1/2" wood screws
• finish nails • drill • trim piece • orbital sander • 80-grit sandpaper • seat cushions • throw pillows
CHOOSE PALLETS
ATTACH TOP AND BOTTOM PALLETS
Search local stores or warehouses for discarded shipping pallets. You need two pallets: one for structural support and one for the seat top, sides and back. The seating structure and back pallets should be the same length.
Lay structural pallet on the ground, and stack the seat pallet on top so edges and corners are aligned. Attach the two pallets by drilling through the top pallet into a solid point on the bottom pallet with 2-inch deck screws. Drill 4 points along the front and back edges.
PREP SIDE PIECES Measure and mark 24 inches on the side pallet, and use a circular saw to cut in half perpendicular to the top boards of the pallet.
CUT STRUCTURAL PIECES Use measuring tape and a pencil to mark the sofa back, seat structure and top pallets to 24x72 inches. Cut with a circular saw.

diy for the home
ATTACH SIDE PIECES
ATTACH TOP SIDE TRIM PIECES
Align the front edge of the side pallet piece with the bottom front corner of the seat section, and attach the side pallet to the bottom structure along the front and back corners of the seat with 2-inch deck screws and a drill. Repeat this step for the opposite side.
Measure along the top of each side pallet from the front edge of the back top trim piece to the face of the arm pallet fascia to determine the length of the side pallet top trim pieces. Use a pencil to mark and cut 1x6 cedar plank with this measurement, and cut with a circular saw. Attach top side trim pieces to the top edges of the side pallets with finish nails and a nail gun. Tip: Make sure all corners and edges are flush before nailing.
INSTALL BACK PIECE Install the back pallet piece to the seat by aligning the back pallet boards with the back of the side pallets’ inside edges. Attach with angle brackets and 1/2-inch wood screws using a drill.
ATTACH TOP TRIM Measure the top edge of the sofa back — including the outside edges of the side pieces — to determine the length of the top trim piece. Mark a 1 x 6 cedar plank with a pencil, then cut to size with a circular saw. Using a nail gun, attach the top trim piece with finish nails into the solid points on the back pallet piece, ensuring the front and side edges of the trim are flush with the inside edges of the back and side pallets.
CUT FASCIA Measure the distance along the top front edge of the seat section between the two side trim pieces. This should equal the length of the back, structure and seat pallets determined in step 2. Use a pencil to mark a 1x6 cedar plank to the determined length. Cut the plank to size with a circular saw, and install with finish nails — aligning the top edge of the fascia with the top edge of the seat pallet.
SAND SURFACES Use an orbital sander with 80-grit sandpaper to smooth out all rough corners and exposed surfaces. Decorate with colorful outdoor pillows and cushions.
Article source: http://www.hgtv.com
ATTACH ARM PALLET FASCIA Measure the vertical fascia for each of the two side pallets that will be the seat’s arms. Use a pencil to mark 1x6 cedar planks with these measurements, and cut to size with a circular saw (Image 1). Align front trim piece with the top and inner seating edges of the side pallet, and use finish nails and a nail gun to attach (Image 2).

House of London
how to style your home to sell 1. First impressions That first glimpse a potential buyer gets of your home is your chance to make an impact. Make sure your driveway is neat, your garden well maintained and ensure your entrance area is warm and welcoming. Some beautiful flowers and a subtle fragrance diffuser will go a long way to setting the stage for what is to come.
2. Repaint Treat your home to a fresh coat of paint - get rid of any scuff marks or wear and tear on the walls, focusing on high traffic areas like passageways and light fixtures. We recommend sticking to neutral shades as it allows any potential buyer to imagine their lives within the space without the distraction of bright colours.
3. Update In our experience, one of the best ways to invest in your home and ensure a good sale price is to invest in good quality, wellmade window dressings. Selecting a neutral fabric with simple tracks and fittings will frame your windows and show off the rooms beautifully.
4. Declutter Clutter and mess will only deter potential buyers! Walkways and windowsills should be left clear to maximise space and flow. Clean the carpets to give them a fresh feel. Ensure your cupboards are packed neatly – buyers love to look at potential cupboard space so make use of neat, stackable storage bins to maximize space.
5. Depersonalise Clear away your collection of family photos and any personal memorabilia from coffee tables/mantelpieces etc. Allow your buyer the chance to envision their future life in the house. Ensure bathrooms are spotlessly clean and presentable – fresh smelling, clean towels, and new bars of soap on display. Remember to remove any personal effects from view.
6. Dress to impress Making use of décor accessories is the most effective way to stage your home. Investing in beautiful throws, flowers, ceramics and a gorgeous selection of scatter cushions will immediately add that wow factor to your home. Need assistance with styling your home? Contact House of London Interiors at design@houseoflondon.co.za or visit our website at www.houseoflondon.co.za House of London Interiors is a Cape Town based boutique design studio specialising in residential interiors.

gardeningtips Garden design tips for small spaces
The desire to maximise a small space for many different functions and can often cause one to try and cram too much into a small space, creating a rather messy and cluttered feel. There are a few tips to keep in mind when planning a small garden, courtyard or patio garden to help maximise the feeling of space. 1. Try and limit the functions that are only absolutely necessary for one particular area. For example if a washing
line is paramount but so is an entertaining space, then try and make one (the one you don’t use as much) a flexible ‘fold-away’ option, by using a fold away washing line, or seating that doubles as storage etc.
2. For paving or tiled areas, always try and use the largest format (size) to reduce the number of grout lines. This will maximise the ground plane and simplify it, echoing the clean lines of the sky above. Use grout in a light shade rather than darker than the tiles/pavers.
3. Light coloured materials like tiles, wall paint and
furniture help to increase the feeling of space and draw the eye out of the space rather than in, giving an illusion of more space.
46 | august - september 2015 | the property pages
SPRING GARDEN TIPS It might be a good idea to start raking up any mulch and bulbs that could have been collecting through the winter. After a long and cold winter there are many things to love about the warm weather. From the musical chirping of birds outside your window at 04:00 am, to the breath-taking colours of sunflowers and cone flowers.
4. When positioned correctly, mirrors can be used to reflect light
into a small space and reflect key points making the space seem much bigger.
5. Restrict the number of plant varieties to bring cohesion and an illusion of a flowing rather than bitty space.
6. Choose vertical or narrow foliage plants that allow a lot of light to filter through. Good choices for patios and courtyards are small bamboos, Nandina domestica, grasses, Phormiums, Dietes and Irises.
7. A light strip of pebbles around the perimeter of the paving or lighting the perimeter with tube or spot lighting can draw the eye out of the centre of the space and so increase the feeling of space.

healthfitness THE BENEFITS OF RUNNING FOR WOMEN IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE Kathleen Mc Quaide - Sports Scientist, Strategic, Marketing and Relationship Manager
The benefits of running for women are so astounding, and are NOT age restricted – so don’t let age be a barrier if you are thinking of taking it up and are over the age of 40. In a study of 1833 women runners (part of the ongoing National Runners' Health Study), it was shown that vigorous exercise paid off in many respects; including an improved cholesterol profile, significant weight (fat) reduction – especially around the hips – but more importantly (from a health perspective) - around the waist.

CAPE TOWN’S IZIKO MUSEUMS
A great harbour with a great history - that's Cape Town's Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, South Africa's top tourist destination - and a working port.
Known as the 'people's cathedral', St George's has always been a haven for the oppressed. It is also the oldest Anglican cathedral in South Africa.
The South African Houses of Parliament in Cape Town have been witness to a large number of the major changes, upheavals and historic turnabouts of this country.
A trip out to Robben Island, famously once home to Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid heroes, might be the most memorable of all your South African experiences.
Walk up historic Long Street, where you'll see Victorian architecture against a Table Mountain backdrop, and where you'll be tempted into quirky shops and sidewalk cafés.
The Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town is the country's oldest intact colonial building, and it speaks volumes about colonial days from the mid-1600s.
The Bo-Kaap Museum lies at the heart of 1 of Cape Town's most colourful communities. Take a walk through the brightly coloured Bo-Kaap area and meet its people.
The displays and guides of the District Six Museum in central Cape Town tell the story of a vibrant community uprooted during the apartheid era.
Dedicate a couple of days of your time to exploring the various fascinating Iziko Museums in Cape Town, from the Slave Lodge to Groot Constantia.

yourpets YOUR PETS AND YOUR NEW HOME BY HAMISH CURRIE BVSc
It is well known that pets reduce stress and enhance good feelings. Their love is unconditional and uncomplicated. Pets are great exercise companions, having them around can lower their owner's blood pressure and improve mental health. Dogs have always protected us from unwanted people and are one of your home's best security assets.
“Dogs never bite me. Just humans” - Marilyn Munroe Are you moving home? Choose the right pets for your home or, if you own them already, you might have to choose the right home for your pets! You don’t have to live on a huge property to enjoy pets. Cats do really well in a flat and Nemo the clownfish can entertain you indoors in his well appointed aquarium. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes with different temperaments and exercise needs. Do you own a Paris Hilton special who spends most of her life in your handbag or do you own a hyperactive border collie who needs to run all day? Rottweilers are very different to poodles and to a certain extent, you can choose your breed according to the attributes you want. Some breeds of dogs are more child-friendly than others. Very often, the best choice is the rescued stray adopted from a welfare organization. Crossbreed dogs make great pets.
“Happiness is a warm puppy” - Charles M Schulz Wild animals belong in the wild and sourcing them as pets is detrimental to wild populations and ecosystems. Marine fish are often caught the wild so make sure you buy from people who breed the fish they sell rather than depleting natural populations. Trees are chopped down in central Africa to source Africa Grey parrot fledglings for sale to pet owners. Their survival rate is less than 50%. Rather purchase a hand-reared parrot. Rabbits and guinea pigs are another common choice of pet. Kids can be given some responsibility in caring for their pet. But remember, just because a pet is cheap to acquire, doesn't mean it's medical needs cost nothing.
Will owning a pet break the bank? Hopefully not, but owning a pet does cost money. There are many excellent medical insurance products that enable you to get the very best care available for your beloved pet. Sometimes, your home will need modification to suit your pet: your property must be safe so that Bonzo doesn’t get out and beat up the guy next door! A swimming pool should always be secured. When all is said and done the expenses incurred are minuscule compared to the rewards! Have a look at the next additions for discussion on how to move home with your pets peacefully, how to choose a vet, more detailed information of general pet health care, and the role that zoos can play in species conservation.
Hamish Currie is a small animal practitioner at Alphen Veterinary Hospital (www.alphenvet.co.za) in Constantia who also has a special interest in wild life. He runs an NGO called Back to Africa (www.backtoafrica.co.za) that repatriates rare African animals from European Zoos to secure conservation areas in a variety of African countries. 52 | august - september 2015 | the property pages

DEATH - HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF PROPERTY? A “grim” topic but important to understand as many readers’ property rights and interests are affected by this unavoidable event. I have put together several questions and answers to help you get an understanding of the processes involved. 1. Mrs Smith has sold her property and transfer is scheduled for 1 November 2015. She passes away before transfer. What happens now?
2. Mr Jones has bought a property and transfer is all on track for 3 weeks’ time, with the Seller anxiously awaiting her sale proceeds. Mr Jones passes away. What happens now? The transfer is put on hold until the Executor is appointed to administer the winding up of Mr Jones’ estate. Whilst the estate is bound by the contract, practically there are problems which can arise which can lead to the deal falling through. Consider for example where Mr Jones had been granted a bond on the strength of his income stream. The Bank will certainly withdraw the finance in the circumstances. This would mean that Mr Jones’ estate would have to come up with other guarantees – effectively the cash. If it could not do so, it would be in breach of its contractual obligations and the deal would be cancelled by the seller. Mr Jones’ estate would in all likelihood forfeit any deposit paid, without prejudice to the seller’s rights to claim other damages sustained.
3. You have inherited a property from a relative but have decided to on-sell it as you would rather use the funds to upgrade from your current home and purchase elsewhere. You want to give the mandate to an estate agent but you don’t actually own the property yet. What is the procedure and timeline for the sale and transfer of the property?
Capital Gains tax in relation There is nothing to stop you, as heir, from to property approaching the Executor with a view
to the property being sold directly out of the estate and there are no rules that this cannot be done. The decision to sell 2013/2014 and transfer the property directly out of the estate to your intended buyer vests with the Executor and most Executors would agree to this without insisting on the property first being transferred to you, as the heir and then simultaneously transferred to your buyer. With a sale directly from the estate, instead of being awarded the property, you as heir, are simply awarded the proceeds thereof after transfer to your purchaser. If the Executor is agreeable to selling the property out of the estate then the Executor will sign the Agreement of Sale on terms and conditions acceptable to you.
The transfer is put on hold whilst the Executor is appointed by the Master of the High Court. The Executor ratifies the sale and signs the redrawn transfer documentation in order to pass transfer of the property out of the estate to the purchaser. As a matter of course, the Master must consent to the sale of the property but the consent of the heir/s is not necessary as the estate is bound by the sale. Transfer should take another 3 months, approximately.
It may well be that Mrs Jones, as surviving spouse, still wants the property and is financially able to manage the purchase thereof on her own, in which event the deal could proceed. If so, allow approximately 3 more months for transfer.
