Questionsbuyers shouldask
W
hile property has been one of the
best performing long-term in-
vestments in recent years, de-
spite theeconomicdownturnandpricede-
creases, a property investment will only
be as sound as the knowledge buyers have
about it.
A bad property investment can severely af-
fect the buyers return on investment or in
the worst case, result in them continuously
losing money over the long term.
However, says Adrian Goslett, CEO of
RE/MAX of Southern Africa, knowing what
to look for and what questions to ask when
viewing a property will help the buyer distin-
guish between a good investment and a bad
one.
Goslett gives the following tips for buyers
before deciding to buy a property:
) Will it be a long-term investment? It is
important thatbuyersviewpropertyasa long
term investment and as such plan according-
ly.According toGoslett, as a general rule buy-
erswillneedtostayinahomeforat leastseven
to ten years before they see any real return
on their investment. He notes that buyers
should consider their future plans and how
the propertywould fit into those plans.While
a property may meet the buyers immediate
requirements, it may not fit into their future
plans, which could include starting a family.
While location is always a vital aspect to con-
sider, different amenities would appeal to
buyers in different life stages. For example,
while a young couple may initially want a
home that is close to restaurants and enter-
tainment hotspots, when they decide to start
a family, proximity to good schools andmedi-
cal facilities will be become more important.
) Is thehomeingoodrepair?Althoughbuy-
ing a home in need of some attention might
seemmore cost effective at the outset, homes
with numerous problems can end up costing
a lot ofmoney to repair. Buyers shouldcheck
aspects such as the reliability of the utilities,
which include the electricity and water sup-
plies, aswell as checkingallwaterandelectri-
cal installations to be functional and in good
repair. It may also be worthwhile to enquire
about the monthly utility costs, he says.
Goslett says buyers should also check the
property for any water damage or rising
damp, as both could present a variety of prob-
lems and result in costly repairs. Bubbling or
scaling paint on walls is generally an indica-
tion of water damage, as are brownmarkings
on the ceiling.
When looking at a property with a swim-
ming pool, buyers should check for cracks in
the structure or lining as well the condition
of the paving around the pool. It is advisable
to check filtration equipment such as the
pump and ensure it is in good working order
andaskaboutthecostofmaintainingthepool.
) Does the home have a sound structure?
While building standards in South Africa are
generally high, Goslett says buyers should
never assume that a building is structural
sound. Although rare, it is possible that even
aesthetically pleasing, relatively new build-
ingscanhaveserious faults. Buyersmayneed
to pay particularly close attentionwhen look-
ing for structural damage as it might be hid-
den with heavy filling work and a coat of
paint. An indication of structural damage is
diagonal cracks running from the corners of
window or door frames and deformation
alongroof lines. Structuraldamagetoaprop-
erty will be extremely expensive to repair, if
it canbe repaired at all. Repairs could include
demolishing parts of the home and having
them rebuilt. A full structural survey can be
carried out by a master builder who will be
able to advise the buyer what work needs to
be done to the property and at what cost.
)Does theproperty correspondwith thede-
scription on the title deed? Goslett says buy-
ers should check that all buildings on the
property correspond to the description on the
title deed, making sure of the legality of the
buildings. The description on the title deed
will provide the number of rooms, the area
of the property, terraces and the plot. In the
case of a sectional title unit, check the exclu-
sive-use areas to which you are entitled. Any
additions such as rooms, garages or a swim-
ming pool that do not appear, may not have
been built and approved through the correct
channels and should be queried. Buyers
should ask the owner for proof of planning
permission as the property may require new
registration for the entire property. If this is
the case, it will be more cost effective to get
the current owner to register the change be-
fore they buy the property.
A wise choice today will allow the buyer
to reap the financial benefits in future.

Do Ibuyanexisting
propertyorbuild?
Its a big decision to make:
Buy or build. Lets look at
the pros and cons.
For most buyers, purchas-
ing an existing property is
much easier. You shortlist
properties that meet your re-
quirements, you view them,
and you make an offer based
on what you can afford, and
what you believe market val-
ue to be.
In most cases, when pur-
chasing an existing property
you are able to take occupa-
tion in 1 to 3months and this
makes planning your move
fairly easy.
You apply for your finance,
sign papers with the attorneys, and the next
thing you know you are moving in.
On the negative, you may be purchasing
a property that doesnt fill all your needs
you may have had to compromise. Perhaps
you also have to upgrade kitchens, bath-
rooms,andflooring.All thesecostmoneyand
take time, and financing these changes,
while possible, isnt an automatic process
and you will need to qualify and register a
large enough bond.
What about building?
My dad always toldmewhen he taughtme
real estate that no one is making any more
land. Thats so true now, as the availability
of vacant plots in the areas you may want
to live in, is poor.
However, if you were to find a plot you
liked, then perhaps building is an option you
should consider.
The one obvious positive is that you can
build exactly what you want and need. You
can choose your finishes and you get to
move into a brandnewhome.
Thereisnothingquite likebe-
ing the first to live in a new
home with everything fresh
and new.
But it has its price. A new
home has teething problems.
Things will go wrong, and
with it comes frustration.
Building is also stressful, un-
lessyoufindtheperfectbuild-
er. You will also need to find
alternative accommodation
for the 5 to 8 months it may
take to build, which is an ex-
tra cost.
Upuntil recently the banks
were reluctant to offer good
loan-to-value rates on build-
ing loans. However, for most
of the banks this has now changed, and you
should be able to qualify for the same per-
centage of finance to total cost as you would
have on an existing home.
Anotherpositiveofbuildingisthatyoupay
transfer duty on the plot transaction only.
In somecases this is a significant saving.But
dont forget to allow for theNHBRC registra-
tion fee on the new building, architect and
municipal planning fees, and all the hidden
costs. Ive yet to find someone who came out
on budget as we all like to spend more than
we have.
The reality is that both buying an existing
property and building a new one offer differ-
ent but exciting challenges. If your circum-
stances allow and you cant find a home that
suits you, then dont discount building.
But research the cost thoroughly so there
are no nasty surprises.
Happy house-hunting.

I20:DIESEL PACKSA PUNCH
Hyundais

QUICKPIC
T
he addition of Hyundai Automotive
SouthAfricasnewi201.4CRDiGlide
to itspassengercarrangehascreated
the most complete line-up of a Hyundai
model locally.
The Hyundai i20 range now boasts five de-
rivatives topped by the new 1.4 CRDi Glide
with its turbodiesel engine.
In 2012 Hyundai launched the popular i20
in a revised and refreshed form both inside
and out which heightened its appeal to a
new, younger group of car buyers.
Then, towards the end of last year, the en-
try-level i20 1.2 Motion with an impressive
list of standard features was added to the
range to satisfy the needs of buyers in this
segment who had to keep their eyes firm on
their budget.
Theentryof thenew1.4 turbodiesel deriva-
tive to the i20 range now creates even more
choice and is expected to increase the sub-
stantial market share that this small hatch
back model already enjoys in its segment.
It isafittingwaytofinishoffHyundaiAuto-
motive SAs most comprehensive model
range with an attractive flagship derivative.
As with its i20 siblings, the new 1.4 CRDi
Glide can boast with a long list of standard
equipment and convenience features with
the important added benefit of a substantial-
ly lower price than its direct competitors.
The value offered by the new addition to
the i20 range is evident when its comprehen-
sive specification list is comparedwith those
of its competitors.
Inside the latest addition to the i20 range
in South Africa beats a new heart: A 1,4 litre
turbo-charged four cylinder diesel engine
that delivers 66 kW of peak power and an ex-
emplary 220 Nm maximum torque.
Linked to a smooth and efficient 6-speed
manual transmission, this translates tomore
than ample power through the front wheels
for the medium-sized hatch back.
With equally exemplary fuel economy fig-
ure of 5 litres per 100 km, recorded on a com-
bined European test cycle.
Its 110 g/km carbon emissions also ensure
that no tax will le levied in this department.
Taking its place next to the 73 kW 4-cylinder,
1,4-litrepetrol engine, thenew1.4 turbodiesel
forms a solid partnership at the top-end of
the i20 range.
The i20 1.4 CRDi Glide can run on 500 ppm
diesel.
Hyundaisengineershavematchedthe tur-
bodiesel engine with carefully chosen ratios
in the refined 6-speed manual transmission
to provide a precise gearshift for maximum
ease and feel.
Gear ratios are optimised to ensure that
the engines theyaremated to operate at their
most efficient speed for the longest period of
time.
TheHyundai i20 range now consists of five
derivatives:
The entry-level i20 1.2Motionwithamanu-
al five-speed gearbox; the 1.4 Fluidwith a six-
speedmanualgearbox;a1.4Fluidwitha four-
speed automatic transmission.
The petrol-driven 1.4 Glide with a manual
6-speed transmission; and the new 1.4 CRDi
Glide with its turbodiesel engine and six-
speed manual transmission.
As with all other passenger models from
Hyundai Automotive South Africa, the new
i201.4CRDiGlidecomesstandardwitha five-
year/150000kmwarrantyand5years/150000
km roadside assistance.
Partof thestandardi201.4CRDiGlidepack-
age is a 3 years/60 000 km service plan and
5 years/160 000 km perforation warranty.
Hyundai delivers outstanding value to
buyers in this popular segment of the local
market.
Service intervals are 15 000 km apart.
Prices start at R 144 900 for the 1.2 and con-
tinue towards R 195 900 for the 1.4 turbo die-
sel.
