en minutes up the infamous Town Hill lies Hilton, a cooler, quaint little village with hedgerows and roses, and where almost everybody knows your name. The area is part countryside, part village, and garden clubs, fresh produce and fabulous cookery lessons are the order of the day. Unlike the coastal areas of KwaZuluNatal, Hilton has real “light-yourfi re” winters and beautiful summers, and has exquisite topography and landscapes ideal for mountain biking, hiking, birdwatching and other outdoor activities. It’s also one of the gateways to the well-known KwaZuluNatal Midlands and its Meander routes with arts, crafts, eateries and accommodation.
Hilton’s primary claim to fame nowadays is its excellent schools, such as Michaelhouse, Hilton College and St Anne’s Diocesan College, which are among the most prestigious in the province, if not the country. These esteemed boarding schools have created

Like in most country towns in the Midlands, owners of farms and smallholdings create markets such as the Produce Exchange, where healthy living, crafts and country pursuits are celebrated.
Back in the day, Hilton was chosen by those who needed to escape the heat trapped in the hollows of Pietermaritzburg, and they certainly achieved that – the difference in temperature is dramatic.

a demand for accommodation from predominantly affluent parents who largely come from Durban or Gauteng to watch sports fi xtures or a host of other cultural activities in the area. Some parents have bought units or grand homes in some of the nearby developments in neighbouring suburbs like Balgowan. Others have permanent rentals of cottages on farms or self-catering units on the grounds of smallholdings or homes, creating supplementary income for farmers or residents. This way parents get accommodation that they can furnish themselves and make their own, and which can be looked after by the owner in their absence.
Enjoy theatre, music and art at the Hilton Arts Festival. Visit the Midlands Meander for good food and fascinating local events. Take to the mountain bike trails to explore the natural surroundings. Go fly-fishing in surrounding dams.
The Hilton Arts Festival is a wellattended event in the area that draws devotees from far and wide. This annual three-day event, held in the exquisite Hilton College grounds and buildings, is a popular attraction for people who enjoy superb theatre, music, arts and crafts. It’s an immensely sociable event and creates high demand for accommodation.

WHY WE LOVE THE QUARRY CENTRE: As its name suggests, The Quarry Centre is named after the old Hilton quarry, but unlike the usual shopping centre focus on bricks and mortar, the centre is surrounded by landscaped gardens, walkways and green vistas. This country centre was bought around six years ago by shareholders who decided to redesign it to capitalise on the town’s reputation as a gateway to the Midlands. Today, the centre looks superb. There are more than 45 retail stores, including Woolworths, Clicks, boutique clothing and gift stores, small cafes and easy-does-it restaurants where visitors can enjoy a coffee or decadent slice of cake with friends and glorious views over the gardens. With ample parking, strong security and easy access, The Quarry Centre is Hilton’s go-to shopping centre. Find out more at hiltonquarry.co.za.

My business T neighbourhood The Lightship Tattoo Gallery in the Station Drive Precinct offers a variety of body modification services WORDS: TIVANIA MOODLEY
IMAGE: SUPPLIED
attoo art is a sophisticated mode of personal expression that is being adopted by an increasing number of professionals. Luke William Upfold brought his long-awaited dream to life by merging his passion for tattoos with his creative spark. The Lightship Tattoo Gallery emanated from his vision to provide customised tattoos that speak to a client’s personal journey and sentiments. Q: How did your business start? A: Owning a tattoo shop has been a dream of mine since I started my apprenticeship. After a few failures, the right place and opportunity presented themselves and Lightship Tattoo Gallery was born. Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop? A: Station Drive is one of Durban’s urban renewal and creative hubs, which I enjoy as an artist. It’s a family of creative thinkers who get to share their respective crafts and promote small businesses. Q: How did you find your premises? A: A friend who knew I was looking, referred me to Paul Basson, the landlord.
Q: Who are your neighbours? A: S’bhekile Ndlangisa, a jeweller who does pieces by hand, and then a coffee shop called Parkside. Q: What are the shop rental/ sales prices like in this area? A: They’re in line with normal retail rental prices. Q: How many people go through your shop each day? A: In general, around three to four, but on Sundays, we have an influx of around 15. On the first Thursday of the month, there’s an event that brings around 100 people. Q: Do you have any expansion plans? A: I’m planning to add a retail element to the shop. Q: Do you operate online as well? A: I’m on Facebook (facebook.com/ lightshipgallery) and Instagram (@lightship_gallery), which is more of an online portfolio. Q: What’s your most popular service? A: The tattoos are more popular than the piercings.
Q: Why are the premises ideally suited to your business? A: The building I trade from is called The Station and has a coffee shop where my clients can relax and have something to eat while they wait.

Private Property takeover bid by P24 will not proceed
P
rivate Property has announced the conclusion of a deal which will see a change in ownership from the existing shareholder, OAM, which is an American private equity controlled company, to a consortium of committed South African buyers, including listed media giant, Caxton. Other buyers include industry participants with a deep understanding of the market. The deal is subject to Competition Commission approval and is expected to be finalised by the end of October 2017. The proposed takeover bid by Property24 parent company, Naspers, will not proceed. The new deal was concluded with the assistance of the industry body, Real Estate Business Owners of South Africa (Rebosa).
The transaction, once it has navigated the regulatory hoops, will usher in a new era for the property portal. “Private Property has grown strongly in the past three years, achieving excellent results as a digital platform, and now holds a significant position in the South African market. We’re really pleased that we could conclude a deal that maintains our independence and affords us the opportunity to enhance the role that technology can play in the real estate industry,” said Simon Bray, CEO, Private Property. “This is good news for everybody. For Private Property, we get to keep doing what we’re passionate about: building a great service for property shoppers. For the industry, it ensures a vibrant competitive environment with at least two big platforms offering advertising services.”
If you're packing up and going for good, then it makes sense to sell the property. However, if there is a chance you will be returning in a year or two, the time and money spent on selling the home and purchasing another won’t be worth your while. In that case, renting out the property seems like a far more feasible option. ADRIAN GOSLETT, REGIONAL DIRECTOR AND CEO, RE/MAX OF SOUTHERN AFRICA
Western Cape's Val de Vie sets new sales records
W
hile the South African property market appears to be taking strain, Val de Vie Estate in the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley is reaping benefits from its investors. Ryk Neethling, marketing director and shareholder, Val de Vie, says, “Having sold in excess of R2bn worth of developer stands over the past few years places us in a favourable position with an exceptional increase in property value year on year.” Over the past 24 months Val de Vie has sold: • All 162 Stefan Antonidesigned plot and plan units in The Vines development. • All 60 Stefan Antoni-designed luxury apartments in the Polo Village development. • All 17 estate smallholdings (3ha-5ha). • All 64 stands in the Le Domaine neighbourhood. • All 72 plot and plan units at The Vines at Le Domaine. • All of the Pearl Valley Hotel
•
sectional title hotel and rental pool (operated by Mantis Group). A 3,000m2 stand on Champion’s Field for a record R12m.
In total, more than 500 developer stands and properties were sold. On average, home prices increased from R18,000/m2 to R24,000/m2 and land price for Val de Vie Phase 1 increased from R1,900/m2 to R2,500/m2. In Pearl Valley, amalgamated with Val de Vie in 2016, land prices increased from R900/m2 to R2,600/m2. The estate has a diverse property portfolio ranging from developer stands, lockup-and-go apartments and family homes, to top-end R100m houses. Evergreen at Val de Vie is a mature lifestyle community, launching at the end of 2017. This development brings together SA’s top retirement brand and premier lifestyle estate. Demand is high – Phase 1 at Val de Vie is 95% sold and Phase 2, excluding Evergreen Retirement Village, is 85% sold.
Mpumalanga’s Phola Mall open
T
he end of September saw the grand opening of Phola Mall, the first fully enclosed regional shopping mall in the old “KwaNdebele” region of Mpumalanga. Located in Phola Park, within KwaMhlanga, and with direct access off Moloto Road, the 29,000m2 mall is ideally located to service the massive rural population that surrounds it. Anchored by Superspar, Edgars, Shoprite, a Builders Superstore and boasting a strong line-up of fashion tenants, banks and food stores, Phola Mall promises to become the new centre of the greater community.
As is becoming a signature of McCormick Property Development (MPD) projects, the mall offers more than just shopping facilities. Two action soccer courts, numerous rest areas, a kids’ play area and wall murals by internationally recognised Ndebele artist, Esther Mahlangu, all contribute to the “gathering place” that the mall has become. “We want our communities to connect with their malls,” says Jason McCormick, MD, MPD. “By instilling a sense of pride and attachment to the mall, we’re able to give back in more ways than one.”

New developments for Hillcrest Affordable apartments built in the Upper Highway area to deal with housing shortage WORDS: CANDICE BOTHA
IMAGES: SUPPLIED
S
everal new developments are under way in Hillcrest with a focus on providing more medium-density, affordable housing, addressing a long-standing shortage. “There’s a desperate need for housing for teachers, nurses, municipal and other officials who work in the area in the order of R1m,” says John Forbes, town planning consultant and former manager: planning and development, eThekwini Municipality Hillcrest. “This group currently have to travel from far afield as they cannot afford the locally available accommodation. They must be catered for locally, and the apartments in Emberton and Cotswold Fenns are a step in the right direction.”
that affordability and quality were key in their planning. “Buyers still want the Hillcrest lifestyle and residents will have access to swimming pools, an outdoor gym, braai areas and landscaped picnic spots,” he says. The demand for two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments has been good for both developments, and a third, Morningside Apartments, is also seeing great interest. “Our development offers secure, modern, lock-upand-go homes with lift access right in the centre of Hillcrest – something that hasn’t been an option at all until now,” says Les Botha, director, BND Group.
“Hillcrest has a host of restaurants, commercial centres and offices, and the lifestyle has changed from being that of a sleepy ‘B’ income area and transformed into a vibrant ‘A’ income area with local shopping and work opportunity,” says Forbes. This makes the rental market in the area robust, and mediumdensity developments provide excellent opportunities for buyto-let investors. “An added bonus of a new development is that buying off plan means no transfer fees and therefore much more value for your money,” says Smith.
The first development to be approved, Emberton Estate, offers a mix of freestanding homes, simplexes, duplexes and apartments, along with communal facilities, and residents are already moving in. “Buyers are prioritising security, affordability, lifestyle and accessibility, and the uptake has been phenomenal,” says Andrew Smith, director, Smiths Property Group (which is mandated to manage sales for Emberton Estate). Trevor Botsis, director, Global Property Investments (one of the developers of Cotswold Fenns), agrees that the demand has been exceptional, adding
