welcome 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 can deliver 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!

A BRIEF GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR HOME DE T E RMIN IN G WHAT Y O U WAN T 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 the 5th 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. F IR S T QUESTION : WH Y D O N ’ T Y O U STAY WH ER E YO U A RE ? 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. S E CON D QUESTION : WH Y AR E Y O U B UY I N G ? • 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. I F Y OU HAVE MADE TH E DEC I SI O N TO B UY A HO M E , H E RE A RE S O M E T I P S T O ASSIST YOU IN YO UR D EC I SI O N M AK I N G : • 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? 4 | smart directory | smart move | seeff.com
• 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? H OW TO MAKE SURE TH AT Y O U AR E I N TH E FR O N T O F T H E Q U E U E 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. smart directory | smart move | seeff.com | 5

SOLAR SOLUTIONS
Turn the Sun into the Solution!
Property remains the single largest investment people make. But just like any investment portfolio, sometimes you need to adjust or tweak your portfolio to ensure that you maximise the return on your investment. Investing in a Solar Ray water heater for you home is one of the best investments you will make. Many property experts suggest that there are two main reasons that the addition of a solar water heater increases the resale value of your home.
Generally, most consumers tend to spend their hard-earned money on items that devalues immediately after purchasing it, which is not the case when you purchase a Solar Ray system. But we all know that you can never really put a value on renewable energy or helping the environment. What we do know is that there have been many additional side-benefits that owners of Solar Ray Water Heaters have realised after installing their systems.
Firstly, it reduces the operating costs of the property, which makes it a more attractive longterm prospect for buyers. Buying a home with built-in cost-saving mechanism will always stand out in a tough property market. Secondly, a Solar Ray water heater adds a capital asset to the property, thus increasing the net worth of the property.
Homeowners are now paying more attention to their hot water use, and this has made them more aware of their overall energy resources. They now prefer to use the backup water heating as little as possible, and use their hot water when it’s most readily available. Of course, the sun may not shine all day, every day, and that is why Solar Ray Water heaters have a backup electric water heater that kicks in during periods of little sun.
But to put it all into perspective, a 150L Solar Ray water heater will cost as much as upgrading your cell phone contract to the iPhone 6S, or replacing your old TV with a Samsung 55� Smart LED TV.
All these small behavioural changes have resulted in additional monthly savings, but perhaps more significantly, homeowners have realised they are also saving the environment at the same time.

NURSERY The nursery is roughly equidistant between Kempton Park and Benoni, so it was decided to open up a retail outlet in the early 1970’s. There were many trials and tribulations along the way, with the business having to branch out into garden maintenance and landscaping to keep afloat.
Allan and Lulu Touche were born in Kenya, and they gave the nursery a Swahili name. “KAZIMINGI” which mean “lots of work”, and it certainly has been just that for the last 47 years. Allan, Lulu and two kids moved out to a barren plot in Marister, Benoni in 1969. They built a shack around a caravan and planted cut flowers. Their first crop of Gladioli was wiped out by hail. In January 1970 they bought R8-00 worth of ficus and monsteras. Lulu sold them to the neighbours and a business was born.
Kazimingi started growing their own bigger specimen plants when they realised there was a shortage in the market place, concentrating on supplying the retail nurseries with a range of reasonable priced plants. Sample trucks were sent out weekly all over the Gauteng area, with delivery within 48hours. As plant varieties increased, Kazimingi attracted landscapers and they in turn wanted larger specimens and bigger quantities of plants. The nursery now fills two plots measuring 4 Hectares. Kazimingi operates a system of satellite growers, with the owners’ daughter Janine producing indigenous trees in Pretoria North, and one other producer in Centurion. Kazimingi proudly uses recycled water from surplus irrigation run-off and rainwater, which is all collected in a newly-built dam and pumped back into the irrigation line.
Allan and Lulu’s plant knowledge was minimal and Lulu read up whatever she could find. Allan stole ideas with his eyes from every nursery on his furniture selling route. Allan quit his job as a Sales Rep and began to buy and resell plants, mainly to florists and hardware stores. Gradually they extended their range. Their first greenhouse was made from fertiliser pockets nailed to a wooden frame.
