n December, the quieter streets of Pretoria pose the perfect opportunity for residents to play tourist in their own city. Here are the things you should have on your bucket list for a memorable stay-cation or visit to the beautiful Jacaranda City.

Something different at the zoo A must do is a sunset safari at the National Zoological Gardens Pretoria from 6.30pm to 11.30pm. Enjoy a guided one-hour walking safari and on your return the braai fires will be ready, or book a sleepover which include the aforesaid, plus you may camp in the zoo for one night.

Action adventure Kick-start your holiday with an adrenaline-filled, aerial, tree-top adventure at one of Acrobranch’s adventure parks in Pretoria North, Pretoria East and Centurion. The concept offers kids, adults and teenagers excitement and fun as they move from tree to tree in lush green forests. Challenges include tree-top high ropes and crossings with ladders, tunnels, walkways and bridges as well as impressive zip lines.

The nitty gritty of building insurance

nsurance is often regarded as a grudge expense, but it’s one of the many unavoidable facets of owning property, especially building insurance which is usually mandatory when a home is financed. Joanna Thomas, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty, says although there’s no specific law or regulation making home insurance compulsory in South Africa, most banks make it an obligatory requirement when granting home loans. However, selecting the right policy and ensuring one is adequately covered, is not always as simple as it may seem when it comes to determining the correct overall value that should be ascribed to the property. Director of Cape Town-based insurance brokerage FJL Consultants Frans Labuschagne, explains, “First you have to establish exactly which components are considered part of the building or structure as there are several elements over and above the bricks and mortar of the primary construction and obvious outbuildings which must be valued and included in the overall amount. Many people don’t realise that to be adequately insured, the following elements should also be accurately valued: fixtures and fittings; fixed recreational and ornamental structures; paved and surfaced areas of brick, concrete, asphalt, synthetic grass or stone (not gravel); boundary and other walls; gate posts and gates, including all their mechanisms; and fences.

Building insurance will also cover numerous non-essential features such as tennis courts, swimming pools, spa baths, saunas and associated machinery and equipment, satellite dishes, borehole machinery supplying water solely for domestic purposes, and septic tanks.” Craig Young, managing executive, oobainsure, the insurance division of ooba, South Africa’s biggest bond originator, says insurance can also be extremely useful to homeowners as their insurers are their first port of call in an emergency. “Many people are unaware that most building insurance policies also cover emergency service expenses, including security to protect your property should the unforeseen need arise, and replacement of keys, locks and remote-control units. Some policies will also cover alterations to your dwelling should you become confined to a wheelchair; damage to your garden caused by impact; geyser wear and tear; and accidental breakage of fixed glass or sanitaryware.” He advises, however, that to enjoy the benefits of full cover, it’s important to keep your property evaluation up to date and to advise your insurer when any alterations or renovations are done. “The insurer will increase your premiums annually, taking inflation and building material costs into consideration, but it’s up to you to request a reassessment of your property if you have carried out any renovations,” he concludes.

Predictions: 2019 property market

his year has been a tumultuous one, from newly instated presidents to economic recessions, ever-rising fuel costs, interesting IT revelations from Sars and a few more finance ministers. As we tear off the last page of our 2018 calendars, the question for real-estate investors as well as everyday citizens now becomes: What awaits us in 2019? “Not surprisingly, a lot will hinge around the outcome of the 2019 elections,” says Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO, Re/max of Southern Africa. “Leading up to the elections, I predict that houseprice growth will be slow, somewhere in low single-digit numbers, as people await to hear the results before making significant long-term investment commitments. Properties are likely, therefore, to stay on the market somewhat longer during the marketing process for the first and second quarters of 2019, especially those properties in the high-end and luxury market,” he says. “Moreover, I predict that there will be a continued move to smaller, more manageable properties – such as sectional titles, estate-style living, and lock-up-and-go type homes – as consumers continue to feel the pinch of rising inflation and cost of living. Subsequently, I also predict that there will be fewer cash sales and more bonded transactions as the increased cost of living will

necessitate higher loan-to-value amounts on property transactions. Considering that the MPC has alluded to the possibility of a series of small interest rate increases throughout the year to counter inflation, it’s therefore likely that the market will continue to favour buyers in 2019 as those who are unable to afford the higher instalments on their home loans decide to put their properties on the market,” Goslett adds. “Consequently, 2019 will likely present the best opportunities to buy if you get in during the first half of the year. I anticipate reinvestment (both local and foreign) in the country postelection if the fight against corruption continues and tough decisions are made, which I do believe will happen. Greater stability should lead to consumer confidence and with that a more buoyant real-estate market. I therefore predict that the market will turn a positive corner post-election, so if you wait too late to purchase, you may miss the upside,” Goslett advises. “In order to bolster economic growth in general in 2019, I would recommend that government should come up with creative ways to encourage all first-time buyers, regardless of income classification, to enter the market by means of tax rebates, for example. Rising house prices (which results from an active property market filled with eligible buyers) encourages consumer

spending which leads to higher economic growth. As a by-product of encouraging more South Africans into home ownership, a stimulus or rebate policy of this sort could also result in the growth of all kinds of economies and industries that ‘live off’ the home, such as landscaping, pool services, telecommunication, building contractors, electricians, plumbing and the likes,” Goslett explains. “I would also strongly encourage government to re-examine their policies around entrepreneurship and do whatever they can to assist new business owners to get to the point where they can grow their own businesses and hire their own employees by removing some of the costly red tape involved in starting up a new company. Doing so will inevitably bolster the economy, lower unemployment levels, and restore investor confidence in our nation,” Goslett recommends.

My business neighbourhood alicat deli offers coffee and catering services in Brooklyn WORDS: ZENA LE ROUX

IMAGE: SUPPLIED

licat deli operates out of a school’s tuck shop and offers a “Pret a Manger” style lunch programme for learners. The idea is to create awareness among young people and encourage healthier food choices. All hamburgers and chicken burgers are prepared in-house, and no preservatives or additives are used. They also offer catering and coffee services to parents. Owner Alison Redgate tells us more. Q: How did your business start? A: A s a member of the school’s staff for 12 years and the school’s marketer for many years, I decided to put my passion for business to the test. I started alicat deli in July 2016. Job creation, happy staff and well-fed young children are key motivational aspects of this business. As a qualified barista, I’m fortunate to have been able to include this element into the business and bring a custom-built coffee trailer and coffee service to our school’s community. That early morning coffee brings people together from all walks of life for their early morning fix and a friendly chat – it’s very special. The tuck shop operates on a pre-paid card system which enables parents to limit spending and place restrictions on foods which parents would prefer their children to avoid.

PROPERTY NEWS

Q: Why did you choose this area to set up shop? A: A s I’ve mentioned, I worked at the school before starting the business, so the situation was circumstantial, but I absolutely adore the central old area of Pretoria, as it has a burgeoning foodie culture. Q: How did you find your premises? A: A lthough fairly rudimentary, the tuck shop at the school was already there. I took over, put in an Italian La Marzocco three-group coffee machine and transformed the space into a more aesthetically pleasing environment. The bigger boys are allowed to sit there at break, they seem to enjoy the space very much. Q: Why are they ideally suited to your business? A: The tuck shop is situated at the cricket pavilion, located between two cricket fields at a beautiful old boys’ prep school. I always joke that I have the best office in town! It truly is beautiful in summer when the trees and fields are all green. Q: Who are your neighbours? A: We are located in the Brooklyn CBD with residential owners as neighbours. Q: What are the shop rental/sales prices like in this area? A: I’m fortunate not to be in the mainstream food industry with rentals which make business difficult. Q: What is your shop footprint? A: Our lunch programme currently feeds 25 pre-schoolers and an

additional 30 or so other children who have signed up for our “Pret a Manger” lunches. We’ll be expanding significantly on these numbers next year which will alleviate turnover challenges during school holiday periods. Q: Do you have any expansion plans? A: We’re expanding next year and will be supplying lunches to five schools. We’re currently looking for a bigger, centralised kitchen for the business within close proximity to these schools. Q: Do you operate online as well? A: Our website offers menus, lunch order forms and a secure online portal for payment. We also have a Facebook page (@alicatdeli). Q: What’s your most popular item/ service? A: We’re often told by coffee aficionados that our coffee compares with the very best on offer in the Pretoria area. Envoy Khupe is our barista and he knows his oats. Other items that are really popular are our chocolate brownies for treat days; scrumptious home-made cream scones for sports days; and bacon rolls and baklava muffins at the morning coffee trailer. We also do a substantial amount of catering for functions and events which seems to be very well received.

Healthy retirement Moving into the retirement phase of life, each person has different concerns, budgets and priorities, particularly as to the medical or care aspect. That factor alone is likely to steer your course. WORDS: ANNE SCHAUFFER

etirement developments fall largely in two different models – sectional title, or life rights. Sectional title is a familiar concept to South Africans, life rights being the preferred international model, but one which is increasingly claiming a footprint in South Africa.

IMAGE: SHUTTERSTOCK

In a nutshell, sectional title gives the owner full ownership, can be sold at a market-related price, and will be willed to family. For life rights, the developer retains ownership of the unit (therefore has a vested interest in the upkeep of the development), while you and your spouse have the right to live there for your lifetime. On you or your spouse’s death, there will be a legal agreement in place, which entitles the developer to sell “your” unit, and pay out your heirs with something in the region of the original “purchase” price – this calculation varies, depending on the development or developer, but it’s a highly transparent process to which everybody is privy from the outset.

Medical or care facilities

Retirees always need to have one eye on future costs, but that’s tricky when you have no idea how long that future might be. At some stage, however, medical or care costs are very likely to be required, and there are a number of different care models. Full on-site, in-house care – sometimes two or three

tiers of such – is one model, and many retirees would choose this as first prize. Arthur Case, CEO, Evergreen, which operates on the life-rights model, says, “We develop care centres that cater to primary health care, home-based care, recuperative care, frail and palliative care, and soon we’ll include memory care facilities. In our large villages like Muizenberg and Broadacres, we have 2,000m² full-service care centres and in the smaller villages, clinics. All future villages will be large with care centres providing all levels of care, in other words, ‘continuous care’.” Regarding costs, there’s no cross subsidisation. Residents pay on a feefor-service basis when they need care. “Other than basic primary care services like blood pressure testing, care is not included in the basic levy, but provided on a fee-for-service basis. The care centres admit seniors from inside and outside the village. For 24/7 frail care, Evergreen residents pay approximately 20% less than non-residents,” says Case. Suzette du Preez, MD, TruCare Age Well Solutions Inc, Gauteng – known as MyCare in KwaZulu-Natal – believes, “Frail care, as we know it in South Africa, is an outdated model. The future of care is specialist facilities for conditions like Alzheimer’s, palliative care, and so on. On average,

only between 2% to 3% of residents living on an estate would require a higher level of care. That doesn’t warrant the high building cost and infrastructure of a frail care centre.” Du Preez is an exponent of the “ageing in place” philosophy which is increasingly the more popular global model. It makes more sense financially, and because it’s perceived as advantageous for today’s retiree. Receiving care in your own home is not only the choice of most, but it reduces the stress of the other partner who has to visit another section (often a distance from their own home) of the complex… and the isolation felt when home alone. By reducing the size of frail-care units or number of beds, and the numbers of permanent staff and facilities, a service is provided only when needed – a clinic provides all the basic services like blood pressure monitoring.

Outsourced medical?

Another smart option is not only outsourced care at a retirement village, but a freestanding medical centre with ageing-related illness specialists. Residents have this literally on their doorstep and can consult as they would any medical specialists and pay them independently of their accommodation.

HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT.

Enjoy low risk with high returns. Not for the first time, Fedgroup is challenging the perceived ‘wisdom’ of market commentators. With Fedgroup’s Secured Investment, you get full capital security with an effective annual return of 12.1%* for five-year investments of R5 000 or more. You’ll also have the option to reinvest your returns, or draw a monthly income.

So enjoy the best of both worlds. Talk to your broker or contact us today. SIcontact@fedgroup.co.za Tel: 0860 065 065 www.fedgroup.co.za
