Be Prepared with this Buyer\u2019s Checklist"},"content":{"rendered":"<blockquote><p>\u201cDon\u2019t wait to buy land, buy land and wait.\u201d (Will Rogers)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Summer\u2019s a great time to look for property. With the year winding down and the holiday season upon us, many sellers who\u2019ve been holding back are now putting their properties back onto the market, so expect to see some great new buys out there.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not the only reason\u2026<\/p>\n<h6>Blue skies ahead?<\/h6>\n<p>The recent interest rate cut, which hopefully heralds more cuts to come, will not only make bond repayments more affordable, but it should also help stimulate our economy generally. If these positive trends hold, the resultant uptick in economic activity, with reduced pressure on consumers and higher earnings for businesses and individuals, should increase demand for property. And that, of course, would see prices move into an upward phase.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you have any thoughts at all of buying a new home or investment property, now could be the perfect time to do it. If you wait too long, prices could really jump.<\/p>\n<p>It is of course essential to go into the process well-prepared. We\u2019re talking about one of your most important long-term investments, after all. So, here\u2019s our checklist.<\/p>\n<h6>Your buyer\u2019s checklist<\/h6>\n<p>Every buyer and every buying situation will be different, so do bear in mind that this list is just a rough guide to some of the more important factors to consider when looking for a property and\/or making an offer.<\/p>\n<h6>1.\u00a0 Location is key<\/h6>\n<p>When it comes to real estate, location is one of the most critical factors. You can change a lot about a property, but you can\u2019t change its location. Consider the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Work and schools:<\/strong> Is the property close enough to your place of work and your children\u2019s schools?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Local amenities:<\/strong> Are there shopping centres, medical facilities and other amenities nearby?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety:<\/strong> Research the crime statistics in the area. How secure is it?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth and resale potential:<\/strong> Historically, have prices risen in line with other areas? Are there any planned developments in the area, such as new roads, malls, or housing estates?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>2. Budget wisely<\/h6>\n<p>Be clear about your budget before you start looking at properties. Don\u2019t only consider the price of the property but also the additional costs involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transfer costs:<\/strong> These include transfer duty, conveyancing fees, and other legal costs associated with the purchase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bond registration costs:<\/strong> If you\u2019re taking out a home loan, you\u2019ll need to pay bond registration fees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rates and levies:<\/strong> Investigate the monthly rates you\u2019ll need to pay, plus levies if the property is part of an estate or complex.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance:<\/strong>\u00a0Be realistic about the maintenance costs you may face after purchasing the property. The 1% rule advises setting aside at least 1% of the home&#8217;s value every year for upkeep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put all those costs, and other items like deposits that need to be paid, into a cash flow forecast so you aren\u2019t caught short at any stage of the process.<\/p>\n<h6>3. Beware online fraud!<\/h6>\n<p>When it comes to paying the deposit and then, later, the costs and balance of the purchase price, be very aware of the dangers of phishing and fake emails. Don\u2019t pay a cent to anyone without personally phoning them to confirm their banking details!<\/p>\n<h6>4. Conduct a thorough inspection<\/h6>\n<p>Before making an offer, it\u2019s crucial to inspect the property carefully. Look for any signs of wear and tear that could lead to costly repairs down the line:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Structural issues:<\/strong> Cracks in the walls can be a warning sign of bigger problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Damp and leaks:<\/strong> Check for signs of damp, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical, plumbing and gas:<\/strong>\u00a0Ensure that the wiring, gas and plumbing systems are in good working order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consider getting a professional inspection done to avoid surprises after the purchase. Pay close attention to the \u201cmandatory disclosure form\u201d that the seller must give you \u2013 it should list all known defects, boundary line disputes, building plan issues and the like. Also have a close look at all the compliance certificates that the seller is obliged to obtain \u2013 electrical, beetle, gas (if applicable), electric fence (if applicable) and water installation (Cape Town only).<\/p>\n<h6>5. Who\u2019s the buyer?<\/h6>\n<p>Consider also who is going to be the buyer? You? Your spouse or life partner? Both of you? A trust? Another entity?<\/p>\n<h6>6. Buying into a complex?<\/h6>\n<p>If you\u2019re buying into a complex, have you checked what rules and regulations you\u2019ll be bound by? What levies you will pay, what special levies may be on the horizon, and whether the scheme\u2019s finances are sound?<\/p>\n<h6>7. Beware nasty surprises\u2026<\/h6>\n<p>Make sure there are no nasty surprises lurking in the shadows. Like servitudes or restrictions in the title deed, or undisclosed tenants or unlawful occupants on the property.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to extend or subdivide the property, or to use it for anything other than residential purposes, check both the local zoning regulations and the title deeds for restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>And if that beautiful sea or mountain view is important to you, what will happen if the neighbours suddenly decide to go double or triple storey? Does the zoning allow that? Is it a realistic risk? What about other risks like a busy Airbnb or home business opening up next door?<\/p>\n<p>Ask for a copy of the occupancy certificate and of building plans, and check with the local municipality that all structures are legal and built as per approved plans. Otherwise, your friendly local authority might suddenly be knocking on your door with a not-so-friendly demolition order \u2013 as happened in a recent case in the Pietermaritzburg area.<\/p>\n<h6>8. Understand the terms of the offer<\/h6>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to make an offer, ensure you understand the terms of the agreement. Pay close attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Suspensive conditions:<\/strong> These are conditions that must be met before the sale goes through, such as securing a home loan. Check the wording carefully, the \u201cbond clause\u201d in particular is often a source of confusion and dispute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Occupational rent:\u00a0<\/strong>If the seller remains in the property after the sale, you may be entitled to receive occupational rent until you take possession. If, on the other hand, you take possession prior to transfer, you\u2019ll probably have to pay occupational rent to the seller.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deposit:\u00a0<\/strong>Know how much deposit is required and when it must be paid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>9. Get professional help<\/h6>\n<p>Since buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions you\u2019ll make, it\u2019s essential to have experienced professionals guiding you through the process \u2013 from finding the right property to ensuring all the paperwork is in order.<\/p>\n<h6>The bottom line<\/h6>\n<p>There is a myriad of important factors at play, and you only get one shot at getting this right.\u00a0<strong>So, before you agree to or sign anything, contact us.
