Fixing your interest rate: consider the variables With interest rates at a 50-year low, many South Africans might be contemplating whether now is the time to fix the interest rate on their home loan WORDS: MARANA BRAND

IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK

he dramatic 2,5% reduction in interest rates since January this year has sent many borrowers running to their banks in pursuit of fixed rather than variable interest rates on their home loans and other debts. People who fix their interest rate probably do so with the hope to keep their monthly repayments at the current low levels for at least the next few years even if the Reserve Bank should start to raise rates once again.

Definitions A fixed rate remains unchanged even if interest rates change, while a variable rate follows the rates adjustments made by your bank following Reserve Bank announcements, says John Manyike, head of financial education, Old Mutual. An application for a home loan is by default on the basis of a variable interest rate, says BetterBond CEO

Carl Coetzee. “Only once your bond has been registered, can you apply for a fixed interest rate and then there’s a strict time limit before the offer lapses.”

General rule Generally a fixed interest rate is higher than a variable one because it poses more risk for the bank. A fixed interest rate is usually set for a period of up to five years, after which you’ll have to renegotiate it, Coetzee says. “The disadvantage of a fixed rate is that you may miss out on savings when rates are cut. On the other hand, a variable rate may be costly if the Reserve Bank maintains high interest rates over a prolonged period,” Manyike explains.

Consider this Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO, RE/MAX of Southern

Africa, strongly recommends that buyers carefully consider the various implications of fixing their interest rate to ensure that they don’t come to regret it. “The truth is that there are so many unknown variables around interest rate fluctuations that it’s impossible to tell with absolute certainty whether fixing your interest rate now will be more beneficial for you in the long run than if you had kept your home loan subject to interest rate changes on a variable rate,” Goslett advises. Goslett warns that those who choose to fix their interest rate should remember that they will not benefit from any further cuts in interest rates for the duration of their fixed term (banks only offer a fixed rate for a maximum of five years). “Given our current economic outlook, it’s possible that interest rates will be lowered even further. Anyone who fixes their interest rate will lose out on these savings,” Goslett points out. That being said, those who choose to fix their interest rates will have the peace of mind of knowing that their monthly instalment will not change for the next few years, which helps with budgeting. “If this is the reason for wanting to fix your interest rate, I would advise rather leaving room in your budget when applying for home finance. You will have far more flexibility and will stand to save more if you choose not to fix your interest rate but rather to have room to pay an extra 1% to 2% on your repayments should interest rates increase during your lending term,” he recommends.

The costs of fixing it There are several problems with a strategy to fix your interest rate, says Gerhard Kotzé, MD of the RealNet estate agency group. “The first is that most banks will charge borrowers a premium of between 1,5% and 3% to fix the interest rate on their bond, and

will usually require that they do so for a period of at least two years. “The reason for this is that, when you fix your rate you are effectively asking the bank to take over your risk of future interest rate fluctuations. In any case it means that if you’re currently being charged the prime rate of 7,25% on your home loan, most banks would raise the rate to at least 8,75% if you asked them now for a fixed rate for, say, the next two years.”

The consequences Says Kotzé, “This means that on a R1m loan, for example, you’ll be paying an additional R934 per month – and that you’ll effectively be “wasting” that money until and unless the prime rate actually does reach 8,75% sometime in the next two years.” It’s important to understand that, in this scenario, the additional

amount you’ll be paying every month will not help you shorten the term of your home loan or save you any money in the long run. “On the other hand, if you can afford the additional R934, and you use it to reduce the capital portion of your R1m bond while staying on a variable interest rate, amortisation tables show that you stand to lower the total balance outstanding to R965,000 within a year, and to R928,000 within two years (compared to R952,000 without the extra payment).”

When the rate rises If and when the interest rate rises, your minimum monthly repayment due will be calculated on a much lower capital balance. “The effect of that will be that if the interest rate does reach 8,75% in two years’ time, your minimum monthly repayment required will still be considerably less

than you have been used to paying.” In addition, says Kotzé, if you do this for two years, you’ll have shortened the total term of your bond by at least 12 months and cut some R69,000 in interest off the total cost of your home. “Staying on a variable rate now means that you’ll also benefit from any further cuts the Reserve Bank may make in the next few months to try to stimulate the economy. And if you have an accesstype bond, you’ll always be able to withdraw any additional amounts paid into your bond account should you need them in an emergency.”

Get advice Goslett recommends doing your research and speaking to an expert before deciding whether to fix your interest rate or not. “This is a choice that can end up saving or costing you hundreds of thousands of rands in interest charges, so it should not be taken lightly. Shop around to make sure you’re getting the best possible rate on your home finance,” he concludes.

Use interest rate savings constructively W ith the interest rate down to the lowest level in fifty years, it offers an unprecedented opportunity to invest in your own home or bring your debt down, says Samuel Seeff, chairman, the Seeff Property Group. He gives seven tips for households to leverage the historically low interest rate to their advantage.

your mortgage 1 Reduce balance

If you already have a property with a mortgage loan, you can keep your payments at the original level and use the difference to pay your loan off faster. This will also create a financial buffer to enable you to absorb any future interest rate hikes as you will be used to paying the higher amount.

your rental for 2 Swop your own home

The lower interest rate means that in some areas it’s now almost cheaper to buy than to rent, or there will be very little difference. If you qualify for a mortgage loan, then now is

an excellent time to buy. Since the repayments on mortgage loans have come down, your earnings required to qualify will also be lower.

3 Buy a new house

If you are thinking about trading up, this could be an opportune time to do so as you can benefit from the interest rate saving, which could make the repayment on the new property almost the same as on your current home.

4 Build a cash reserve

If you’re financially secure, you can keep your mortgage payment at the old rate, and invest the difference between the old and the new rate into a savings account. If you are renting and your monthly rent is reduced thanks to the lower interest rate, you can tuck away the savings into your housing deposit account or use it to pay off other debt.

5 Reduce your car debt

There’s a big advantage to owning your car and by keeping your

car repayments at the original amount, the difference could go towards reducing your car debt. It could also create a buffer against future interest rate hikes. If you’re thinking about trading up, a paid off car will come in handy as a deposit on the new car.

Reduce debt on credit 6 cards, short-term loans and store cards

Since this type of debt carries a higher interest rate, typically twice the prime rate and more, you should always aim to pay it off as quickly as possible. If you don’t need the savings this puts back into your budget, keep your repayments at the original level so that you can reduce the debt faster.

a short-term loan 7 Take to expand a business If you have a small business or are thinking of starting a business, now could be a good time to take advantage of the cheaper borrowing costs. You should, however, ensure you’re financially secure and plan for future interest rate hikes.

MELROSE ARCH

Investment options as market shifts Although market fluctuations and perceived volatility may keep some investors on the fence, investment in bricks and mortar assets remains a go-to safe haven – and there are different buying options WORDS: MARANA BRAND IMAGES: SUPPLIED

he South African property industry hasn’t seen anything like the situation brought on by the pandemic. “From an economic point of view, the closest point of reference we can work with is the global financial crisis of 2008, but the current lockdown conditions are so unique that even the learnings of 2008 offer limited insight into how this will ultimately play out,” says Paul-Roux de Kock, analytics director at data provider Lightstone.

Luxury market

Although house price inflation in all segments of the residential property market entered the coronavirus crisis on a downward trajectory, values in the lower end affordable market were still growing at 10.7%, says De Kock.

Property trends prior to the nationwide lockdown showed investor

During the 2008 financial crisis, Lightstone saw the estate sub-segment of the luxury market remain in positive territory. In modelling a scenario where the forecast model was stretched to take into account a possible 10% drop in GDP and a rapid rise in CPI inflation, Lightstone foresees a possibility that home values in the luxury market can drop by 19%. However, accurate predictions cannot really be made.

Mixed-use precincts

sentiment shifting towards mixed-use precincts as offering greater value than large, stand-alone houses, says Guy Gordon, managing director, Amdec Property Developments. Living and overhead costs associated with stand-alone properties have continued to rise, tipping the scales for many towards downsizing to more centrally located residences. Added to this, an increase in residential rental demand has seen mixed-use residential units becoming a lucrative buy-tolet choice for the savvy investor. “Now, more than ever, the discerning

investor should be focussing on the basic fundamentals of property investment”, says Gordon. “The Covid-19 crisis has emphasised the importance of location, accessibility and convenience in the investment equation, coupled with the need for professionally managed properties where safety, security, cleanliness and hygiene are paramount.” An example is Melrose Arch in Joburg, where the ability to walk within the protected boundaries of the precinct means that residents can easily obtain groceries, pharmaceutical supplies and all other essentials without having to get in their car or leave their environment.

Today, especially for middleand upper-income retirees, the accommodation available focusses more on lifestyle and quality of life, attracting people at earlier stages of their retirement, rather than when they become too fragile or sickly to live independently.

The life right model is an option for retirees, which involves acquiring the right to live in a particular home throughout the owner’s lifetime (and that of their spouse) rather than owning the real estate itself. This is ideal for people who don’t wish to take on the responsibility of maintenance and other issues such as insurance, security, landscaping etc.

In contrast, house price inflation in the luxury market entered the crisis already in negative territory at -1.4%.

“The life right concept is attractive for the older person, who may have neither the desire nor the ability to maintain a property,” says Cobus Bedeker, MD, Evergreen Property Investments.

Sectional title schemes

Sectional title scheme house price growth held up better during the slow downturn over the last couple of years, and this trend is expected to continue as the lockdown eases and property transfers pick up again, according to data analysed by Lightstone.

“A capital amount is paid to the developer, who remains the legal owner responsible for maintaining the units, village and facilities,” he says. When the life right terminates, the property continues to be owned by the developer, and therefore is maintained to a high standard, refurbished, and available for resale by the developer.

“Although not massive at this stage, we’ve already seen a divergence in the house price inflation of freehold properties (1.6%) and sectional schemes (2.4%) as we entered the lockdown,” De Kock says. “The willingness of potential homebuyers to pay a premium on the additional security that some sectional schemes offer, tends to prevail even during times of crisis,” he says.

Life right retirement model

SITARI COUNTRY ESTATE

According to Bedeker, purchasing a life right in a retirement village brings the added advantage of financial flexibility which can be reassuring for people who may well require expensive medical care and frail care at some point in the future.

Cohabitation or co-ownership? Buying property jointly or sharing a home with someone you know may seem like a clever way to stretch your rand, but make sure you aren’t left out in the cold when the partnership ends WORDS: HELENE MEISSENHEIMER

housands are left with reduced or no income – and no alternative but to look for more affordable living arrangements. For some this could mean moving in with parents or siblings, while others may consider co-buying a property with a family member or friend. There are risks related to the legalities and responsibilities of both these options.

Sharing the same home

People sharing homes with romantic partners, friends or family is nothing new. South Africa’s high unemployment rate among young people coupled with rising rental costs, especially in urban areas, have many young people living with their parents, romantic partners, friends or colleagues while saving towards a place of their own. However, the latest PayProp rental statistics indicate that since the start of the lockdown in March, there’s been a marked increase in the number of people who can’t afford to pay their rent in full and who will be needing more affordable accommodation. Cohabitation can offer a solution, but there are risks involved. Property law specialist Shani van Niekerk, senior associate and attorney at Adams & Adams Attorneys, explains.

A contract is a must

Van Niekerk says it’s important to know there’s no such thing as a common law marriage or spouse. As such, it naturally follows that extended family members, friends or partners who cohabitate have no legal rights or responsibilities. The consequence is that at the dissolution of the partnership or relationship or any cohabitation, parties are left vulnerable and without the legislative protection which, for example, married individuals have. Without a contract, there’s no legal obligation on any cohabitant to either maintain the other or pay for any specific expenses. There’s no law that regulates the sharing of expenses where family members, partners or even friends cohabitate. In fact, only the individual who has entered into a lease agreement, or in whose name the bond or utilities bill is registered, will be held liable for payment regardless of who else enjoys the use thereof. The only way to be protected under our law is to enter into a cohabitation agreement. Such an agreement is in the best interest of all parties and clarifies their expectations.

The cohabitation agreement A cohabitation agreement regulates the rights and duties between cohabitants, Van Niekerk says. The agreement can provide for the

IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK

division and distribution of assets if the cohabitation ends, and parties’ obligations and respective financial contributions towards the joint home. A cohabitation agreement will be legally binding as long as it contains no provisions that are immoral or illegal. It is, however, important to note that a cohabitation agreement will not be enforceable concerning third parties. A cohabitation agreement is the smart way to live together without fear of the future.

Co-ownership

Buying a property together is not a decision to be taken lightly, says attorney Robert Krautkramer, director at Miltons Matsemela. What happens if one party loses their job and the other is responsible for the bond on their own? Or if one party wants to sell and the other doesn’t? How do you divide proceeds if one party contributed more to bond payments than the other? Krautkramer says, according to the law, co-ownership is a type of partnership; people who own a property equally, share equally in the net profits. It doesn’t mean they necessarily share in the overheads though, unless the title deed or a separate agreement says so. Nor does it mean that because one of them pays more over the course of ownership than the other that, upon sale, the one is entitled to more than the other.

What to do?

Always draw up a co-ownership agreement when buying together – even if you’re married. That will regulate the outcome should the property be sold. There’s no automatic entitlement at all to an “accounting” if, for example, each party did not contribute equally to the bonds due on the property.

Consider allocating shares in a property. Divide the shares equal to the percentage of the input by each party. For example, if two friends buy a property and one party contributed 40% of the start-up costs she has a

4/10th share and the other then has a 6/10th share as she contributed 60%. Then each party already owns according to their immediate input. Considerations in such an agreement: • Who is responsible for the bond, rates and taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements, etc? • What happens if you don’t uphold your end of the bargain and how does this affect your share ownership – regardless of what the title deed says? • At what point are you compelled to agree to sell? • What happens when one of

you dies or loses your job or simply wants out? • Who do you appoint to sell and transfer the property? • How do you agree on a marketing and selling price? • What happens if one of you doesn’t adhere to the terms of the agreement? Lastly, get an attorney with a strong litigation and property law background to draft the co-ownership agreement. This protects you against the risk of having to go to the high court to have your partnership “liquidated” at huge expense and effort.

It’s also perfect for retirees.” Situated in the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa, the development’s design is inspired by a classic rustic Tuscan village while retaining an African identity. The estate comprises 58 luxury villas and 10 apartment blocks. Each unit type has its own affordable payment plan.

Mozambique

Ettiene Erasmus, property developer, Mozambique Property Developments and Investments (Mozprop), placed his own bet on the country 28 years ago, engaging contractually in the field of development, construction and logistics across several industrial sectors. He searched for the ideal location for a mixed-use residential development that could service both the tourism and business markets. Erasmus is behind The Bazaruto Island View Estate (BIVE), a development set on a 42ha coastal estate that combines residential, hotel and business property investment options. It’s just outside the coastal town of Vilanculos. “It’s an attractive investment prospect for retirees and property investors, or even an opportunity to expand a business investment portfolio,” says Erasmus. Once complete, the fully-contained precinct will include luxury homes, a hotel, beach lodges, a resort, clubhouse, a business centre, medical facility and a small crafts marina with a marine park nearby. The units will offer the potential for live-in, long-term or short-term rentals. The first stage of the project has begun with the construction of show houses. Prices start from R275,000 to R3,5m for a property on the development, with one-bedroom houses selling for R875,000 in the BIVE private residence section.

Keep yourself and your pet safe It’s official: The coronavirus can infect pets, they can transmit it to other animals, and although rare, some animals can infect people. People can also transmit the virus to some animals. It seems like a good idea for pet owners to bear this in mind before snuggling up to their pets. WORDS: MARANA BRAND IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK

ust as medical experts are learning more each day about how the new coronavirus (dubbed SARSCoV-2) impacts the health of humans, they’re also studying its effects on animals. And what they’ve discovered is that, although the virus primarily spreads from person to person, it can also spread between people and animals. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) “several dogs and cats (domestic cats and tigers) in contact with infected humans have tested positive for Covid-19”.

Vulnerable animals

Cats appear to be the most susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and can even develop symptoms of the disease. In studies of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the animal equivalent of the WHO, “cats have shown clinical symptoms of disease including respiratory and gastrointestinal signs”. They can also spread the virus to other cats.

Dogs appear to be susceptible to infection but appear to be less affected than cats. Other animals that have proven to be infected are golden hamsters and cynomolgus apes and these animals can also get ill. The OIE is busy with studies to better understand the susceptibility of different animals and whether they get ill after infection. What they do know is that, so far, poultry and pigs cannot contract Covid-19.

Can animals infect people?

What to do

Keeping your four-legged family members safe during the coronavirus pandemic looks a lot like how you might go about protecting the humans in your family. Physical distancing is a key preventative measure. Experts recommend keeping your pet away from other people and animals outside the household. Avoid dog parks and public spaces where dogs gather to play, and when on walks, keep your dog at least 2m from other people and animals.

In Europe, the virus has been detected in minks raised on farms. “Most likely, they’ve been infected by farm workers. In a few instances, the minks that had been infected by humans in turn transmitted the virus to other people. These are the first reported cases of animal-to-human transmission.”

If you or someone in your family is sick with Covid-19 or are at risk, they should avoid contact with their pets — this includes petting, snuggling and smooching. They should also stay away from other animals, like farm, zoo and wild animals, as well as animals in animal shelters.

There’s no evidence, however, that cats can transmit the disease to humans “as Covid-19 is mainly spread through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks”, the WHO states.

If possible, have another member of your household care for your pet while you’re sick. If this isn’t an option, avoid close contact with your pets, implement basic hygiene measures, and wear a face mask around them.

The OIE supports the view that, although several animal species have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, these infections are not a driver of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The current pandemic is being sustained through human-to-human transmission, and although current evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from an animal, investigations are ongoing to find the source and how the virus entered the human population.”

Animals living with infected people should be kept indoors, similar to humans. Other people should avoid contact with these animals as well. Always supervise young children around animals and teach them not to put their hands in their mouths after petting Fido or Fluffy. And as much as we love them, don’t let your pets kiss your face, since saliva can carry germs. If you're worried about your pet tracking something nasty inside, even traces of Covid-19, you can wipe their paws once you return indoors.

Other risks

Even if chances are slim that your dog, cat or other animals can infect you with the coronavirus, they can spread plenty of other viral and bacterial illnesses to their human companions, including rabies, leptospirosis, listeria and salmonella, to name a few. Dogs can also carry superbugs that make people sick. The concern is that animals can be silent carriers of these diseases and immunocompromised people can be susceptible to picking them up. So, as a general rule, wash your hands really well after you touch an animal or clean up its waste, and avoid kissing, licking or sharing food. Keep your pet’s vaccinations up to date, especially if your dog or cat is boarded often, is active outside or frequents dog parks. And don’t forget to stay on top of flea and tick prevention. This helps to keep you and your pet healthy.

If your pet falls ill

If you are concerned that your pet has been exposed to the coronavirus, contact your veterinarian. Just like with people, it’s better to call first to limit the risk of exposing others to the virus. So far, the animals that have shown signs of Covid-19 have had “very mild” symptoms and are expected to make a full recovery.

Although downsizing is a growing trend, the reality is that, because of financial pressure, many people will now move to a smaller home or even back in with family, making innovative and creative storage solutions a necessity WORDS & IMAGE: SUPPLIED

any people will be forced to cut costs in the coming months and while downsizing does have advantages, moving to a smaller home goes with enough storage being one of the biggest headaches, says Chris Cilliers, CEO and co-principal, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty in the Winelands.

in bathrooms for loo rolls and rolledup fresh towels, and in bedrooms for extra jerseys and colourful T-shirts or for kids’ soft toys. • Floating shelves: These work especially well in corners in living areas where they won’t be in the way or in small rooms like the bathroom above the toilet cistern.

“Downsizing a home can cause much stress and anxiety, especially for people who are attached to their belongings but hate living with clutter. However, with a little planning, it’s possible to create a comfortable home and keep your most prized – and essential – items handy without tripping over them.” She offers the following innovative and functional storage solutions:

Think vertical

Maximise closets

• A dd drawer space: If you have a high hanging rail, place a small chest of drawers underneath the hanging clothes. • Double up: Add a second hanging rail to double up on hanging space. • Accessible accessories: Door racks and hooks on the inside of closet doors are great for accessories like scarves, belts and even shoes. • Hidden hooks: A few adhesive hooks behind the hanging space are perfect for belts, scarves and bags that are used less often.

Optimise wall space

• Perimeter shelving: Install shelves along the perimeter of your bedroom walls above head height. It’s usually the least-used space in a room and will add a good couple of metres of storage space. • Install a square floating shelf nightstand: You’ll have two surfaces on which to place things and you can store other goods in attractive baskets or boxes with lids on the floor underneath. • Mount colourful hat boxes: Great

• Hang a pot rack on the kitchen wall: Use this for frequently used items like pans and sieves and also mount hooks to the backsplash to keep cooking utensils handy. • Think thin and tall: Buy shelving that’s tall and narrow rather than short and wide, which will also add visual variation and interest. • Create a vertical herb garden: Enhance your spice collection with a stunning vertical herb garden, which also serves to spruce up a dull space. • Slim rolling shelves on wheels: These are perfect for that space on the side of your refrigerator, or between your dishwasher and the wall.

Decorative storage

• Bookshelves aren’t just for books: They are also perfect for storing attractive baskets filled with things like office supplies, spare toiletries, stationery etc. • Bins and baskets: Storing belongings in decorative bins and baskets is one of the most affordable and aesthetically pleasing ways to save space.

Put your doors to work

• Behind the door: Fill a plastic multi-pocket shoe organiser with cleaning supplies and hang it behind the kitchen door. • Install a floating box shelf above a bedroom or bathroom door: This is handy to store rolled up fresh towels and bathroom toiletries or extra jerseys and books.

• Build deep shelves in the wasted space around a doorway: If the door position allows for it, it’s a great way to add ample shelf space for books, nick knacks and even small plants. • Hanging hamper: Your dirty laundry basket doesn’t need to take up a square metre of floor space if you hang a fabric hamper on the back of your bedroom door.

Other nifty tricks

• Maximise your drawer storage with modular drawer organisers: You already know they work well in the kitchen, so utilise them in the bedroom for small items like hair ties and make-up. • Limit your appliances: Do you really need an electric can opener, a bread maker or a toaster oven? Scaling down on appliances

can free up loads of space. • Suspend the bike: Bicycles take up a lot of room, especially if they have to be kept in your home. So use a hanging or wall-mounted rack. If you can’t part with all your belongings, consider renting storage space where you know they’ll be safe and protected from damage, says Cilliers.
