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 I RS T QUESTION : WHY DO 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 C OND 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. IF YOU 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 A S SIST 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
BUYING AND SELLING
BUYING property for aAND longSELLING 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!

PRECAST WALLING
PRECAST WALLING
Starting in the back yard of his Dad’s house in the early 1970’s, Daryl Mills as a young man began learning the art of casting & installing precast walling & paving. In 1980 the company was officially named to the name that has become known & trusted today, Pride Precast. In 2008 Ashley took over the walling installations while continuing to work alongside Daryl as he continues the manufacturing. In 2012 Ashley officially registered Pride Precast (Pty) Ltd, further cementing the foundation as laid by Daryl more than 30 years ago. While precast walling & paving manufacturing & installations are the main course of business, they have grown into so much more. With Pride Precast, you are assured of a professional team with more than 30 years’ experience specialized in the installation of precast walling.

sticky duck
PREP: 20 MINS COOK: 2 HRS
This recipe for tender, juicy duck with a honey glaze is staggered and takes out all the stress of doing it on the day. INGREDIENTS
METHOD The day before eating, tip all the ingredients for the duck into a pan and just cover with water. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat, cover and simmer gently for 1 hr 30 mins until the duck is really tender (or a slow cooker for 4 hrs would be ideal). Remove the duck from the liquid, leave to cool, then chill in the fridge, uncovered. Chill the liquid separately too. Can be done up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge, covered, or frozen for up to 3 months. The next day, remove all the fat from the stock, pour 400ml into a pan and simmer down by a third, or until intensely flavoured. The remaining 14 | smart directory | smart move | seeff.com
stock can be frozen and used another time to poach meat or poultry. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. For the glaze, mix 1 tbsp of the reduced stock with the honey and five-spice. Put the duck legs on a baking tray, skin-side up, and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins until they are hot and the skin is lacquered. Arrange some cucumber on a serving platter with the duck on the side, then scatter over the coriander. Add some sliced chilli to the simmered stock and serve on the side for spooning over the rice. Serve with our steamed pak choi.
Recipe from http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/twice-cooked-sticky-duck
For the duck 1 strip pared orange zest 6 duck legs 6 garlic cloves, smashed thumb-sized piece ginger , sliced 1 ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder 100ml dark soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp golden caster sugar 50ml Shaohsing rice wine To glaze 1 tbsp honey ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder To serve halved and sliced cucumber coriander leaves sliced chilli cooked rice

Toss the juiced limes into the pitcher along with the mint, strawberries, and 1 cup of sugar.
