A change of scenery We might not have as many outdoor options as they do in the Cape, but there are still some spots that we can head to in and around Joburg to enjoy nature while exercising under level 3 WORDS: SARAH MARJORIBANKS

any municipal nature reserves and parks are still closed during level 3 of the lockdown, but there are a few private farms and reserves that have resumed operation. While there are certain restrictions in place for both staff and visitor safety, it’s quite wonderful to get outside and enjoy big open spaces again. We’ve chosen three different spots that are open for exercise, including options for hiking, mountain biking and running.

Taroko Trails at the Modderfontein Nature Reserve

The beautiful Modderfontein Nature Reserve on the East Rand preserves indigenous flora and fauna and is a fantastic green space for Joburgers to escape to, right here in the city.

The 275ha private park contains a number of dams, grassland and hills, and is also home to Taroko Trails.

The freshly cut trails are ready to receive hikers, runners and cyclists.

While the trails that are dedicated to runners and hikers aren’t open just yet as they’re still being cleared of overgrowth, there are plenty of other trails and jeep tracks to explore.

Safety precautions: Taroko Trails isn’t open for social or group activities, and everybody entering the premises will need to wear a mask or buff, comply with hand sanitation practices and maintain social distancing.

Good to know: The park will be open every day of the week for exercise, from 6am to 6pm, and there’s no need to book. Entrance fees are R50 per adult and R30 per child under 12 for cycling, and R30 for running, hiking or walking.

Hennops Trails

Head out to the mountains and enjoy one of the hiking trails on offer at Hennops Trails, just 30km from Fourways and Pretoria. The trails set off from the main camp, meander along the Hennops River and head off into the mountains. The Krokodilberg trail is 10km long and one should be reasonably fit to tackle it as the surface is uneven in certain sections and there are steep climbs. However, the Zebra, Dassie and River hikes are easy and manageable for all fitness levels.

Safety precautions: All visitors must adhere to level 3 restrictions and are not allowed to enter if they don’t have a mask. All of the Hennops Trail staff have masks, and hand and surface sanitisers are available at reception

and the toilet facilities. All facilities are sanitised at regular intervals, but the picnic and pool areas remain closed. Guards are on patrol on the trails to ensure the safety of visitors.

Good to know: The property is open seven days a week and booking isn’t necessary. The entrance fee is R80 per adult and R40 per child.

Northern Farm

Mountain bikers are welcome to explore the 2,500ha Northern Farm Nature Reserve, also known as the Diepsloot Nature Reserve. The nonprofit park is run by volunteers, and while it feels a world away from the hubbub of the city, it’s just 10 minutes away from Fourways.

There are a number of cycling trails of varying lengths for different skill levels, each tackling a mix of terrain. However, no group rides are allowed at the moment due to level 3 restrictions. With grasslands and woodlands as well as several dams, the farm is also home to about 270 different bird species, so it’s naturally a popular spot with twitchers.

Safety precautions: Temperatures will be taken at the gate and visitors exhibiting Covid-19 symptoms will be turned away. No more than two people per vehicle are allowed entry and the clubhouse and braai facilities on the property remain closed. Masks are mandatory.

TAROKO TRAILS

Good to know: Entry is only open to visitors who’ve booked and paid for their visit online, and limited numbers are allowed per three-hour slot.

Northern Farm is open on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, from 7am to 5pm, and entry is R60 per person.

Liquid luxuries Emerging from the hard lockdown, it’s good to see that the South African entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well – especially as an ingredient in creative cocktail mixes WORDS: SARAH MARJORIBANKS IMAGES: SUPPLIED

ust because we can’t visit our favourite cocktail spot, doesn’t mean we have to go without. These top bars in Joburg have created fabulous take-home solutions to bring the libations to you.

Sin + Tax

Award-winning mixologist Julian Short of Sin + Tax teamed up with Geometric Gin in 2018 to create some truly spectacular cocktails for highend game lodges in the bush. Now those bottled cocktails are available for home consumption. “We designed the bottled cocktails to be as simple as can be,” says Julian. He recommends storing the cocktails in the coldest part of your fridge as the cold temperature adds a smooth texture to the drinks.

The bottles are beautifully labelled and designed, enhancing the cocktail experience. “The idea behind the label was to keep the packaging as simple and minimalistic as possible so that the focus would be on the beautiful liquid inside.” Bottled cocktails on offer include Leaf Litter (Geometric Gin, Floral Tonic), Afrogroni (Geometric Gin, Bitter Orange Aperitif, Cape Dry Vermouth), Cape Old Fashioned (Cape Brandy, Orange Blossom Honey, Bitters) and Dry Martini (Geometric Gin, Cape Dry Vermouth, Orange Bitters).

Tonic

This small gin bar in Linden is now giving its customers the chance to enjoy its signature cocktails in the comfort of their homes.

The Gin and Tonic kits are available for delivery

on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and each week you’ll get a new cocktail offering. “With the prohibition on alcohol sales having put our gin bar out of business for the last two months of hard lockdown, we were so excited when level 3 allowed us as a restaurant to deliver alcohol,” says Caitlin Human from Tonic. “We decided rather than the usual wine and beers to offer what we’re known for, which is our fun gin and tonic combinations and cocktails.”

This past week has been all about sugar and spice, with Marshmallow Mother Fluffer Gin, cinnamon Spice Gin or Bluepea Gin packaged with tonics and garnish. The kit includes four shots of gin, four tonic waters and garnish, and is priced at R200.

Mix Cocktail Bar at Mesh

Both members and non-members are welcome to purchase alcohol at the Mesh Club’s Mix Cocktail Bar in Rosebank. Members have access to the full club and can enjoy a takeaway cappuccino while they wait, and both members and non-members can have their alcohol delivered to the car.

Spirits, beer, wine, bubbles and mixers are on the menu, and soon they’ll be introducing bottled cocktails, but there’s a few promotional items that are worth taking a look at – when you buy Monkey47 gin you’ll receive 12 Schweppes tonics, and purchasing 48 bottles of Heineken or Heineken 00 gets you a free ice bucket.

For your wine needs, the concierge team have access to a sommelier who can advise you on your wine purchase. As an added bonus, if you order your alcohol through Mesh, non-members will receive a complimentary hot-desk day pass to work at the Mesh Club this month.

inter is a time for comfort food and a great way to gear your supper menus for the colder months, is to introduce your family to Austrian beef goulash soup. This nourishing traditional cold-weather foil is hearty and rich in flavour and comes to you compliments of Constantia Glen in Cape Town.

As we can (finally!) enjoy a glass of decent red, let the flagship Constantia Glen FIVE be on your wine shopping list – a consummate blend of five Bordeaux grape varieties – or something similar. It will stand up well to this soup’s bold flavours.

The Constantia Glen FIVE can also be purchased online at constantiaglen. com/order-wine for delivery to your door, since the lockdown restrictions have been lifted.

Like the wine, the hearty goulash soup is a real crowd pleaser. It’s filling, easy to make, and best served with fresh crusty bread to mop up the very last drop in your bowl.

Traditional Austrian beef goulash soup Ingredients • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 3 medium onions, chopped • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• • • • • • • • • •

1 tablespoon paprika ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon marjoram ½ teaspoon thyme ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 250g boneless, cubed beef ¼ cup red wine 4 cups warm beef stock 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced Salt and pepper to taste

To serve • Sour cream • Chopped chives • Crusty bread Here’s how 1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy based pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until tender for 8 to 10 minutes.

2. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, marjoram, thyme and cayenne pepper. Add the beef and fry for five minutes.

3. Stir in the red wine and simmer for five minutes. Add the stock, cover and cook for 40 minutes.

4. Add the potatoes and simmer for a further 30 minutes until the potatoes and meat are fork-tender.

5. Season the soup to taste, ladle into bowls and top each portion with a dollop of sour cream.

Sprinkle some chives on top and serve with freshly baked bread.

Property focus

Rental market calls for progressive thinking With many people struggling to make ends meet and job security under threat, renting may prove more popular than buying, while some tenants will downgrade. This, among other things, may cause an upswing in the rental market.

WORDS: MARANA BRAND

ith more tenants struggling to pay their monthly rent, changes are undoubtedly on the cards for the rental market.

Samuel Seeff, chairman, Seeff property group, expects to see a great deal of movement in the rental market.

“Many tenants will look to downgrade, and more people will move into the rental market until financial stability returns and the economy improves.

While rental rates will come under pressure as a result of the economic decline, we do expect the market to bounce back quite quickly,” he says.

With countless citizens facing reduced salaries or job losses due to the lockdown, it’s no surprise that more and more tenants are having trouble paying their full rent, says Jacqui Savage, national rentals manager, Rawson Property Group.

According to her, the incidence of tenants defaulting has been climbing since lockdown began, and could continue to be an issue as the economy struggles to recover.

During March, just over 20% of tenants were in arrears, increasing to almost 24% in April. PayProp head of data and analytics Johette Smuts says that the average size of arrears jumped from 78% of monthly rent in March to a massive 84% in April.

“While we have already seen an increase in both the percentage of tenants in arrears, and arrears as a percentage of rent in April, we expect May and June to be even worse.”

Landlords, meanwhile, will be looking hard at their cash flow projections wondering how they’ll meet repayments to banks and

other lenders, says Gary Palmer, CEO, Paragon Lending Solutions.

This situation will force certain trends in the rental market to emerge, which will remain for some time to come.

Flexible landlords One of these trends is landlords embracing progressive payment plans. Palmer says a good working relationship between owner and tenant is valuable, especially when times are tough, and explains four ways in which landlords can help tenants weather the storm: 1. Either writing off the full rental for one or two months, or allowing tenants to just pay 50% for a number of months. These losses are

then reported in their tax returns.

2. Property owners capitalising the payment holiday into the lease.

If you follow this route it’s best to include addendums into the lease, explaining the details.

3. Passing on the savings property owners have seen as a result of the interest rate cuts. While it’s not a huge amount, tenants will appreciate even this small saving.

4. Allowing tenants who can’t pay rent to take a break, with the understanding that they’ll then forfeit their deposit.

One option landlords shouldn’t consider when tenants can’t pay, is to set eviction procedures in motion – at least not for now.

“Persons may not be evicted from their home during alert level 3, except if the court decides that it’s just and equitable to do so – which is not an easy hurdle to overcome,” says attorney Marlon Shevelew, director, Marlon Shevelew and Associates.

Legal challenges in and of themselves are without a doubt a constructive and essential part of a constitutional democracy, but they do mean that nothing is truly final. This just adds to the uncertainty, which must be negotiated in the coming time.

Tenants must play it straight

However, it’s important that tenants know what the impact of each option will be, says Palmer. “Simply jumping at a payment holiday, for instance, may come with some unattractive longterm consequences. Interest will still be accruing and you could end up with a nasty surprise in a year’s time. Do the math before you sign anything.”

Tenants shouldn’t assume they’ll be granted payment breaks. “They should have all the necessary documentation at hand when going to their landlord.

It also may be worth having your credit record handy to show a record of good payment behaviour,” Palmer advises.

Other trends Another trend in the lockdown rental market is Airbnbs converting to long-term lets, because of the tourism sector’s shutdown and because – like all short-term rentals – it’s still prohibited under alert level 3. This way, however, there’s more competition with others already in the market, says Savage.

In some cases, Airbnb owners are even removing the furniture from their properties, as unfurnished apartments remain the most popular choice for tenants for reasons of affordability.

Social distancing is likely to stay with us beyond lockdown. That’s why top-quality rental agents have been turning to cutting-edge technology like virtual valuations, 3D virtual tours and real-time virtual showhouses to deliver the same level of service while minimising face-to-face contact.

This also ensures that only serious, qualified tenants make it across a rental property’s doorstep, Savage says.

Legal difficulties For agents, tenants and landlords, navigating the rental arena during lockdown, irrespective of the alert level, can be fraught with legal difficulties, says Shevelew. If, for instance, a tenant should refuse to

5

allow estate agents to show homes to prospective tenants or buyers because of fear of exposure to Covid-19, this will amount to a breach of the terms of the lease in most instances.

“This is a difficulty which must be addressed by estate agents and landlords alike,” says Shevelew.

“In the normal course, one would be able to cancel the lease if the tenant refused to comply, or sue to compel the tenant to comply, and claim damages if any are suffered.”

Seeking legal recourse in such a case is, however, not straightforward considering the way that the lockdown regulations have affected the courts. “Each court has its own practice directives and in some instances only selected cases may be placed on the roll,” he says.

More confusion The uniformity of the alert levels we have enjoyed thus far may soon be a thing of the past, Shevelew says. “Alert level 3 regulations make provision for declaring certain areas hotspots that may become subject to more stringent regulations. This means that the situation in certain areas could change on a dime, with different regulations applicable in different locations. Keeping track of what is permitted where, will become increasingly difficult.”

He adds that, aside from the uncertainty caused by vague wording of regulations, or inconsistent application by the police, “there are several ongoing legal challenges to the regulations, and there are bound to be more in due course”.

Each legal challenge brings with it the possibility that, just as everyone has figured out how the regulations as they currently have been gazetted work, they will be set aside or changed by a court. Just this past Tuesday, the Pretoria High Court declared the regulations promulgated in respect of alert levels 3 and 4 unconstitutional and invalid.

“Legal challenges in and of themselves are without a doubt a constructive and essential part of a constitutional democracy, but they do mean that nothing is truly final.

This just adds to the uncertainty which must be negotiated in the coming time,” says Shevelew.

It’s all systems go… almost As property professionals were only expected to start working under level 2, it was a joyous turn of events for the real estate sector to be granted permission to leave their offices to sell property again WORDS: MARANA BRAND & HELÉNE MEISSENHEIMER

“A

fter weeks and weeks, late nights and early mornings by many people in the industry, we’ve managed to finally open a door,” says regional director and CEO, RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian Goslett, about the reopening of the real estate sector.

“We’re only at the start line now of a long recovery ahead. Relentless tenacity, an impeccable work ethic, unquestionable skill, experience and an unbridled passion for the clients we serve will determine our success as we forge ahead in these uncertain times.”

The who and how

Under level 3 regulations, most estate agents are permitted to operate normally since 1 June, except for short-term home-sharing, letting, leasing and rental for leisure purposes, explains Lavashnee Mandry, senior associate: property department, Adams and Adams.

“As estate agents are a vital link in property transactions, this news will

IMAGES: SHUTTERSTOCK

be welcomed by homeowners who want to sell their properties, as well as buyers, tenants and other industry players such as banks, mortgage originators and attorneys,” she says.

Safety first

Businesses that are permitted to operate under alert level 3 are, however, subject to strict compliance with health protocols and social distancing measures. These include mandatory wearing of face masks, using hand sanitisers, daily screening of employees etc. The return to work should be phased in to put in place these measures, Mandry says.

Tony Clarke, MD, Rawson Property Group, says the whole industry has been working around the clock to create the safest possible plan of action, “to allow people to put a roof over their heads without risking their health and safety”.

Goslett reiterates the necessity to adhere to prescribed safety protocols.

“We need to make sure we capitalise on this opportunity safely. It’s imperative

that protocols are followed strictly to ensure the safety of our clients, our colleagues and our agents,” he says.

Industry body Rebosa (Real Estate Business Owners of South Africa) prepared a safety protocol for property professionals and advises, among other things, that the viewing of show houses should only be allowed by appointment and should be limited to one or two sellers.

According to Carl Coetzee, CEO, BetterBond, putting all the necessary health and safety measures in place will not only provide peace of mind to all concerned, “but will also reinstate trust in our industry, and demonstrate our commitment to making a meaningful and constructive contribution to restarting the economy”.

Many to benefit

It’s extremely positive that the real estate industry is to be fully operational again, as this sector makes a meaningful contribution to the country’s economy, taxes and employment, says Andrew Golding, chief executive, Pam Golding Property group. Many people aspire to own a home, as ownership provides security of tenure and a nest egg for the future.

“In addition, estate agents are largely dependent on commission-based income for their survival, while a host of other related sectors including financial institutions, mortgage originators, conveyancers, construction and engineering companies, among others, directly and indirectly derive income and employment,” he says.

Coetzee adds that the opening of the property sector is particularly good news for buyers, and investors too, as the prevailing market conditions are geared to favour residential property buyers.

“With interest rates at a 50-year low, and the threshold on transfer duty raised to R1m earlier this year, upfront expenses when purchasing a property are lower, making it a buyer’s market for sure.”

Virtual viewings are here to stay

In terms of viewings of homes for sale, the Pam Golding Property group will continue to make use of high-quality virtual tours, iShow days, as well as other technological innovations, which they’ve found successful during lockdown.

“However, where a buyer wants to physically view the property, we’ll make the necessary arrangements and follow the strict protocol guidelines as set out by the authorities,” Golding says.

Rawson Properties, like many others, have also been fine-tuning their suite of digital tools to facilitate more comprehensive virtual services than ever before. “These include virtual valuations, virtual show houses and live virtual tours, all of which will continue to be leveraged to minimise human contact when the industry ramps back up to full operations,” says Clarke.

Tribute to sector lobbyists

Industry leaders in the real estate sector lobbied on behalf of the thousands of property professionals unable to earn an income from the sale of property to have the entire value chain of real estate services operating under level 3. These include the National Property Practitioners Council (NPPC), Samuel Seeff (Seeff ), Tony Clarke (Rawson), Adrian Goslett (RE/MAX), Richard Gray (Harcourts), Herschel Jawitz (Jawitz Properties), Rebosa, and the Estate Agency Affairs Board (EAAB).

The efforts by the real estate sector were also supported by industry representative bodies from the legal profession, valuators, mortgage brokers and the banking sector who all made submissions to government.

However, according to Clarke, the discussions with government are far from over. “Our goal is to have the industry formally reclassified as a level 4 service to ensure continuity, should hotspot flare-ups cause a return to stricter lockdowns. We don’t want to end up in a situation where new leases or sales are paused halfway through the process because we went back to level 4 lockdown,” he says.

What buyers want Lockdown and Covid-19 have undoubtedly changed our world forever. This also rings true for our wants and needs when it comes to new homes.

S

haken by the effects of Covid-19, the world is going to be a vastly different place long after we emerge from the national lockdown.

When it comes to the property market, Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO, RE/MAX of Southern Africa, predicts that buyer preferences are also going to be quite different.

space to 1 Extra work or study

The way we conduct business might forever change now that companies have seen that they can continue operating while their employees work remotely. Home offices were once make-do setups, but buyers will be looking for a more long-term, functional space.

“After spending so much time at home, I think people will want homes with a larger floor area and an office-type room. They might also shy away from open-concept living spaces and prefer homes with separate living areas,” he predicts.

for the 2 Space extended family

For many, staying home has meant staying apart, inspiring some to consider homes that could bring the family under one roof.

“We’re likely to see an increase in interest in homes with bigger kitchens, living areas and two master suites, or homes with separate semi-detached spaces that could serve as a second living space.”

Larger grounds

Children, parents, dogs – everyone has pent-up energy to burn these days. A private outdoor space allows room to play and a place to enjoy a braai without leaving home. “We might even see people investing in swimming pools again once the warmer seasons approach.”

hile lockdown restrictions were eased at the beginning of this week, allowing a semblance of normality to return, the prospect of a possible peak in infections later in the year or a second wave of the virus in the near future, poses concerns for all citizens and will impact on their choice of residence, says Andrew Golding, chief executive, Pam Golding Property group.

shopping centres rather than large shopping malls, which attract large numbers of shoppers from a wide area.”

“In a time of social distancing, it makes sense for people to minimise their interactions with people outside of family and a close circle of friends.

One of the ways to achieve this is to remain in one’s neighbourhood – shopping, eating (when permissible) and using the amenities in the area.

This suggests an increase in activity in ‘Main Street’ or neighbourhood

Says Golding, “If social distancing becomes a more permanent feature of the national and international landscape, one could expect growing demand for homes in estates – as people seek the relative safety offered by living in the confines of an estate.”

Another way to minimise interaction with others is to live and work in a place which offers retail outlets, sporting amenities, schools, medical facilities, offices or business hubs, or is near these amenities. Estate living ticks all these boxes and often even more.

Increasing appeal

Lifestyle estates, especially those within

Estates will also become increasingly attractive for those who can and want to work from home.

“These features make estates far less accessible to members of the public, thereby reducing exposure to external influences, plus there’s the potential for more spacious homes, reducing the feeling of being confined to a small space during a lockdown.”

Affluent buyers buy into estates

Amenities such as schools, childminding and shopping facilities and other activities on site all contribute to a sense of security from a health and safety point of view, while providing highly attractive environs in which to live, with fewer maintenance hassles.

“Some estates also lend themselves to multi-generational living with a wide variety of options available – such as more affordable apartment and cottage units catering to young couples or retirees, over and above the more spacious homes on offer.

There’s a trend towards incorporating a more diverse offering of homes in estates – including more affordable sectional title properties and retirement villages. This ensures that estate living caters to a larger market of potential homeowners.”

the city 4 Swapping for the country

With movement being so restricted, city living doesn’t offer the hustle and bustle it used to. Many homebuyers may be rethinking their dreams of living in a big city in favour of owning a larger home on the outskirts of town.

“People are going to look for homes where they aren’t living on top of their neighbours. The appeal of living in tiny apartments just to be near business hubs is likely to lessen, especially if companies continue to allow their employees to work remotely,” he says.

easy reach of cities and major hubs, have proven increasingly attractive in recent years for several reasons, says Golding. These include security, as well as open spaces such as play areas for children and 24-hour security patrols, among other features, all contributing to a less stressful family-oriented way of life with safe open spaces for exercise, sporting pursuits and recreation.

THE ECO ESTATE MONAGHAN FARM ON THE JUKSKEI RIVER, PRETORIA

He says the lack of congestion on an estate has great appeal for those wanting to escape from high-density, congested city living, where some have been cooped up in tiny apartments.

“Many estates are increasingly selfsufficient and completely or partly off the grid in terms of water and energy, making the decision to live in a secure lifestyle estate wise in terms of cost and convenience.”

New World Wealth estimates that over 40% of South African HNWIs (high net worth individuals) live or have homes on residential estates, says Sandra Gordon, senior research analyst, Pam Golding Properties.

“Recent trends in this sector of the market include a move towards lifestyle and retirement estates, rather than golf estates, while parkland estates with parks, birdlife, walking and cycling trails are becoming more popular.

Most developers are now creating small neighbourhoods within estates, allowing for more open spaces and parklands, unlike the old model where homes were spaced evenly around the entire property. In addition, many estates have started to add luxury apartments to their offerings, whereas previously, most estates focussed only on freehold houses.”

“Even as house prices – particularly at the upper end – slow in the face of a struggling economy, which had slipped into recession even before Covid-19, the percentage of estate homes sold in the upper price band has continued to rise, albeit relatively slowly. It appears likely that the arrival of Covid-19 and the persistence of infection fears will reinforce the trend by underlining the appeal of estate living,” Gordon says.

“A

lthough life has undoubtedly become very stressful for everyone, we’re all experiencing the effects of lockdown in different ways and to varying degrees,” says Yael Geffen, CEO, Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty.

A growing number of small and medium-sized companies, which do not offer essential goods and services are permanently shutting their doors and, as unemployment rises, more and more people are finding life increasingly difficult.

The lockdown has shown us the need for community. We’ve seen people coming together to do incredible things. One of the reasons we choose a neighbourhood to live in, is the vibrance of the local community. “So let’s all do our part to save our communities by taking care of the people who live in them and supporting local businesses to keep the economy going,” Geffen says.

There are many things we can all do to support the communities in which we live and thrive, and for most we don’t even have to leave home.

Most farmers’ markets across the country are closed because of the pandemic, so many of the smaller farmers will have no outlet but still have crops and food products available.

If you are a web designer, help struggling businesses to build an ecommerce website to move their sales online or if you’re adept at social media, help a business to promote its brand and product.

Covid-19 is putting an immense amount of pressure on animal shelters across the country as their ability to raise funds is limited and adoptions cannot take place. The websites of your local shelters will have information about how you can assist them.

As the number of people with coronavirus increases, there will be fewer and fewer eligible donors and it will be extremely difficult to recover from critical shortage levels.
