smartdirectoryYour handy pocket guide to everything property

There is a lot more to a property transaction than simply signing a deal. From preparing a property for sale, understanding the process, ensuring that the certification is in order, organising finance registering or cancelling bonds, moving in or out, fixing major or minor stuff – the list is endless! We have tried to identify many of these processes and eventualities and we hope this guide will assist and remind you of what to do.

Smart Directory is a collection of suggested suppliers and businesses, some of which you will need – many of which you won’t. Most have offered their services at discount rates to assist you in your move. So, from attorneys to waterproofers; from architects to plumbers, this collection of special offers and discounts should go some way in helping you to make your move as cost efficient as possible. If you aren’t moving, this is also a handy collection of services which could help you enjoy your property cost-effectively.

Most of our featured services will offer unique insight and advice regarding their services. Each business has either been referred to us or we know clients who have dealt successfully with them. We would also like to hear of any experiences you may have had so that we can provide a guide which contains service providers who candeliver quality and value for money.

This is a quarterly guide, so your input is important. Also, the services and businesses featured here have paid to be part of this guide. It is also important to note that there is no commission paid to Seeff or any of its affiliates by any of these businesses or services. The discounts have been negotiated by us purely for the benefit of buyers, sellers, property owners or tenants who decide to make use of the services offered.

Good luck with your move if you’re moving – if you aren’t, we are really pleased that you have found the right home!

BUYING AND SELLING

A BRIEF GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR HOME

DETERMINING WHAT YOU WANT

So often, one has a vision of what the perfect home will look like; where it will be; what it will have and how little one needs to pay for it.

I once met a real analytical buyer who had a book in which he had recorded the 194 properties he had viewed over the last 12 months in Plumstead. He admitted that he should have bought the5th one he saw. I think he is still looking for the perfect home! I hope I can provide some insights which may help you to make a decision, whatever that decision will be.

FIRST QUESTION: WHY DON’T YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE?

Consider the following:

• It is not inexpensive to move home. You need to consider the following:• Removal costs• Relocation costs (new school uniforms, etc)• Transfer costs (transfer duty, attorney fees, bond cancellation costs, bond registration costs• Commission on the sale of your home• Re-vamp of the home you buy• Are you moving for the right reason?• When you make the decision to move, then move – if you make the decision to stay, then stay.

SECOND QUESTION: WHY ARE YOU BUYING?

• Purchase decisions are most influenced by whether the property is to be purchased as:• A home• An investment• Obviously, the purchase of a home will also

be an investment in property, but the factors in arriving at a purchase position will be different.

Remember: when considering the cost of your home as an investment only, you must factor into your thinking that there is a basic cost of accommodation – if you did not own the property, you would need to rent.

IF YOU HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO BUY A HOME, HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO ASSIST YOU IN YOUR DECISION MAKING:

• Location - You can change the house, but you can’t change where it is.• You can fill in a pool (or put one in)• How happy are you to renovate?• Will the property suit a growing family and if your nest is getting emptier, is it able to cope?• Access to where you want to go (work, entertainment, schools)• How much will you regret missing the right home if someone else buys it?• Have you taken in to account the costs of maintaining the property?• Have you considered the costs to transfer the property into your name?• Look past the current owner’s occupation of the property. Some people like to live in an eclectic environment; some people like to be minimalistic. Some people like their lawns longer than others do!• Do your homework on the area you have chosen but don’t rule out adjacent areas.

The homework you need to do would be as follows:

• How quickly are the properties selling there?• What is the average price for a property with your requirements?• How is the capital growth in that area?• Are the neighbouring properties being upgraded?• Does this agent know what she is talking about?

BUYING AND SELLING

HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE

1. The market is so overheated at the moment that you need to be as fast as you can to be offered the new release properties.

2. Make sure you are dealing with an agency, which automatically informs you of all new listings as they come on the market. Seeff automatically links your requirements to any new listings within your areas of interest and within your price parameters. If you provide maximum and minimum prices, and the suburbs, which interest you, you will be sent links to properties within 20% of your maximum price. You would need to provide your e-mail address to receive these instant alerts.

3. Check the web portals regularly – the most active portal is www.property24.com Most agencies list their properties on this portal.

4. Agree to receive SMS alerts for new listings.

5. When advised of a Seeff Open Hour (the agents hold these during the week for new release properties) please attend or send a representative to attend. Most new release properties are often sold within 7 days of listing and very few make it as far as the traditional Sunday showhouse times.

10 SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SECURING THE PROPERTY YOU WANT

1. Offer your best and final price – do not try to be clever with your negotiation tactics as you will often be competing with other offers.

2. If you need a bond, arrange for a pre-qualification from a mortgage originator (we work with Ooba who offer this at no cost). This will really strengthen your offer. You would be surprised how many cash buyers there are out

there.

3. Try and have as few conditions in your offer as possible.

4. Agree to the seller’s occupation and transfer stipulations as far as you can. Sellers will often accept a lower offer if the dates suit him better.

5. Always offer an occupational rental. It is impossible to predict a date for transfer of ownership but a removal date needs to be booked (for both seller and buyer). There will often be a time when the non- owner is in occupation and this needs to be paid for.

6. If there are competing offers, ask how the process will work with presenting multiple offers to the seller. Make sure that if the agent has a partner, that they are working together and not against one another. Generally, you should be asked if this is your ‘best and final’ offer – and your competition will be asked the same. At no stage should a buyer be told what the other buyers have offered. Remember, though, that the seller has the right to choose the buyer for his property – and there is nothing the agents or buyers can do about this right.

7. Make sure your offer to purchase is watertight – that it is unambiguous and signed properly. This applies also to your accepted agreement.

8. Be prepared to negotiate upwards (even though you offered high) if there is competition.

9. Unless you are viewing the property in purely investment terms, be prepared to accept that you might have to pay more than you think the ‘bricks and mortar’ are worth. If you live in the property for a long time, the extra you pay now will be insignificant in the long term.

10. Avoid the adhering to the cliché: ‘if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be’. If Raymond Ackerman lived by that philosophy, we would all still be shopping at the grocers! If you want it, go and get it!



BUYING AND SELLING

10 QUESTIONS TO ASK THE AGENT

1. Are you registered with the Estate Agency Affairs Board (her license to trade) and if so, what is your 2015 Fidelity Certificate number?2. How do you get to the figure you have quoted on this property – please substantiate your price suggestion?3. How long have you been selling in this area?4. Give me a list of the last 10 sales you have done this year.5. What is the difference you have achieved between the list prices and sale prices on average?6. How many days do you have your properties on the market before you sell them?7. Please give me client references with contact numbers.8. What other properties do you have on the market?9. How many buyers do you have who would look at this property now?10. Are you prepared to do Sunday showhouses or do you use someone else to do this?

A BRIEF GUIDE TO SELLING

STEP ONE

Read the above regarding buying property – you should get some idea of what buyers are doing and how they are thinking.

STEP TWO

Examine your motivation for selling. If your main objective is “if I get the right price, I will sell” then perhaps you should not be selling. If your price does not match what the market is prepared to pay (not what the agent tells you – she could have another agenda) then re-consider your decision. If you really want to sell, then be prepared to sell for market value.

WHAT IS MARKET VALUE?

Market value is the price that a willing and able buyer is prepared to pay a willing and

able seller at a given time. The value can often conflict with: seller expectations, agent ‘valuation’, municipal valuation, bank valuation or any other kind of value one can think of. Buyers buy by comparison – your property will be compared to other properties seen by the buyers at that time. Agents will introduce you to a Comparative Market Value – this is based on the premise that similar properties will sell at similar prices. The problem with this method of assessing value, though, is that each property is unique. You could test drive 2 new white A4 Audis – but one will feel different from the other.

Agents are not valuers! An agent cannot possibly give you a ‘valuation’ of your property. An agent can suggest a list price or estimate a sale price but she cannot guarantee a price unless she wants to buy it herself! Beware of falling into the trap of awarding a sole mandate to an agent who quotes the highest price. I have seen this backfire many times!

ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS

Electricity: your right to a safe and hassle – free installationThe Occupational Health and Safety Act prescribes, through the Electrical Installation Regulations 2009, who may carry out electrical installation work and in this way protects users of electricity. The Regulations also give protection to the public by means of a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and Test Report which every user or lessor of an installation is obliged to possess, and should ideally be provided every time a house changes ownership. A frequently asked question is as follows:

“I Have a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and the installation is not fuctioning properly, what should I do?”

Proof of safety is the CoC and Test report issued by a registered person (an electrician registered by the Department of Labour as a Master Installation, Installation Electrician or an Electrical Tester for Single Phase) . The registered person may be the proprietor or an employee of the business. It is important to bear in mind that the CoC and Test Report certifies the safety of the installation. It is possible that an electrical installation might not be fully

functional (e.g. some lights or plugs don’t work but the installation is safe and the CoC and Test Report is valid. As the home owner, you can take the following precautions to ensure the electrician is permitted to perform the required work:

• Request his/her registration document with the Department of Labour. The expiry date will indicate whether the contractor is currently registered as all electrical contractors are required to register before issuing CoC’s.

• Request to see his/her registration certificate (also known as a wiremans license) which is issued by the Department of Labour. This will show the accredited persons name, ID number and photograph.

• When looking for an electrical contractor to carry out your work, insist that it is a member of the Electrical Contractors Association of South Africa – ECA (SA). In the event that you are dissatisfied with the work undertaken, you will have recourse in that the ECA (SA) mediates between members and their clients. THE WORK OF MEMBERS’ IS ALSO GUARANTEED UP TO R15 000, terms and conditions apply.

The ECA (SA) is an employers’ organization registered in terms of the Labour Relations Act, and has been representing electrical contractors in South Africa for 60 years. The Association represents electrical contractors at all levels, and is recognized by the Government, supply authorities, consulting engineers, CSIR, ESKOM and the Association of Municipality Electrical Undertakings as the spokesman for the Industry. The ECA also serves on the SABS Committee responsible for the Code of Practice for the Wiring of Premises.

ARCHITECTS

Established in 1986 by Architect Demo Salerno, Archi-Studio Architects has grown to a medium sized practice and has been involved in the execution of a wide range of projects ranging from residential complexes, hotel and casino developments, shopping centres, schools, industrial developments and private residences.

In recognising the divergent demands and concerns of its Clients, and strongly believing in the philosophy that an Architect’s role is that of being a facilitator and interpreter of the Client’s dreams and aspirations, the practice does not specialize in specific aspects, segments or styles within the Architectural field, but rather approaches each project with a fresh perspective informed by relevant research and past experience.

The Practice is committed to providing a personal and dedicated service, where each project is seen as the creation of a unique solution that not only satisfies the Client’s requirements and stylistic preference, but at the same time caters to the particulars of the site, climate and programme, thus striving towards design excellence and creating Architecture

which is seen to make a positive contribution to the environment. To cater for the diverse range of Clientele, the Practice has built up a team of able Specialists whose combined skills and good mix of expertise successfully and innovatively take a project from a feasibility study to its final built form.

Archi-Studio Architects are committed to an evolutionary process of reviewing design attitudes, trends and technical information, thus refining the skills to create Architecture responsive to the Client’s specific needs while achieving high standards within the allowable budgetary parameters.
