Valhalla Here’s what’s happening in property in the area

About the area T

he suburb of Valhalla lies in a triangular shape in the north of Centurion between the Swartkop Air Force Base and Zwartkop Nature Reserve, and remains largely unaffected by development in the rest of Centurion.

Although pleasantly isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, the neighbourhood’s location offers quick and easy access to main arterial routes in the area. Valhalla is bordered by the Old Johannesburg Road (R101) on the east and the M24 in the north. Both these roads join up with the Ben Schoeman freeway. The Zwartkop Nature Reserve forms the western border. The most southern corner links up with Wierda Road (M10) connecting Valhalla to other Centurion and Pretoria East suburbs.

The area is traditionally very popular with military personnel because of its proximity to military bases in Pretoria, but many other citizens also buy property in this reasonably priced suburb.

The suburb consists of approximately 200 apartments and townhouses and just over 2,000 freestanding middleincome family homes. Properties date back to the 1950s and 1960s, and offer lots of space inside and outside.

TOP ATTRACTIONS NEARBY:

The area boasts many established trees and parks and creates a neat impression. Valhalla has its own library, a number of churches, nurseries and primary schools.

Secondary schools in neighbouring suburbs are a short distance away, and the Wierdabrug Police Station in Valhalla serves the area.

• Spend a day at the Voortrekker Monument.

• Visit the historical South African Air Force Museum at Swartkop Air Force Base.

• For the adventurous, Zwartkops Raceway is a stone’s throw away.

• Enjoy golf at Zwartkop Country Club.

• Relax at Leriba Hotel and Spa.

Resident Jaco Meintjies says Valhalla is rich in history and he loves being part of the variety of cultures in the area today. “The area is very quiet and one does not have to go out of Valhalla for anything, except maybe for a sit-down dinner. We have a very well-stocked hardware shop, a Spar, Shoprite, smaller supermarkets, takeaway shops, Absa, butchery with the best droëwors, and a DVD rental shop.”

Recent buyers are grouped in these age demographics: 4% are 65 and older, 11% are between 50 and 64, 54% are between 36 and 49, and 31% are between 18 and 35. The Valhalla property market shows consistency over the years in terms of sales and value for money. It remains an ideal family-oriented suburb with all amenities.

Q: What kinds of properties are available in Valhalla, and who is buying them?

A: Valhalla is a well-established middle-class suburb and the types of properties include houses, townhouses, apartments, vacant land and new developments.

Q: What attracts buyers to Valhalla?

A: Purchasers are attracted to Valhalla for many reasons. One surely is due to Valhalla’s outstanding location flanking the Old Johannesburg Road and positioned between the R55 to the west and the Ben Schoeman highway to the east, offering easy access to other major highways.

Affordability is another reason.

Deeds Office statistics thus far for 2016 show that 83 full title properties were registered at a median price of R1,15m. With stand sizes often well over 1,000m2, this offers excellent value for money.

The median value for sectional title properties is R602,500, and 16 units have been registered in 2016 thus far.

SPECIAL PROJECT

Green is the new black Making your home green won’t only benefit the environment but will also save you money WORDS: CHARIS LE RICHE

IMAGE: ISTOCK

T

he best investment you can make is to make your home energy efficient. With summer looming and the threat of water restrictions, there is no better time than now. There are countless ways you can do your bit, but here are a few tips from the Neighbourhood team.

Be water wise

Though 70% of the earth is covered in water, only 1% of that is available for human consumption. It is, therefore, important to conserve water and to keep it clean and safe.

• Be sure to check your home

for leaking taps and pipes.

• Replace your shower heads

with low-flow alternatives.

• Place your geyser where hot

water is required most. That way you waste less cold water when you open your tap.

• Invest in a water storage tank for gardening and washing your car.

• Link your waste water downpipe

to a simple system to reuse this water for the garden.

• Be sure to plant only indigenous plants in your garden as they need less water.

Save energy

With municipalities buying back surplus energy from homeowners who use alternative resources, and with time-off tariffs being put into effect, it is more important than ever to save electricity.

• Invest in energy-efficient

appliances and check the Energy Star rating when buying.

• Unplug appliances – like cellphone chargers – when not in use.

• Switch to energy-saving bulbs.

• When washing clothes, use the cold-wash function to save energy.

• Switch to gas appliances.

• Remember that smart alternative energy sources like a heat pump, solar geysers or panels will add more value to your home.

MPACT RECYCLING: Mpact Recycling recently launched its 2016 Kerbside Campaign, which raises awareness about recycling by educating and engaging South Africans from all walks of life on the environmental and socio-economic benefits of recycling household waste.

Ronnie green bags for paper were dropped off at residences within the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni along with calendars highlighting collection days in the area.

Pamphlets also explain to residents what is suitable for recycling and how to recycle.

For further information on Mpact Recycling and collection days, or your nearest Ronnie bank, visit mpactrecycling.co.za/our-operations/ paperbank-search or call 0800 022 112.

RECYCLING

BEYOND RECYCLING Let’s not waste our earth’s scarce resources. When you recycle with Mpact Recycling, your waste paper, cardboard and milk and juice cartons are used to make new paper and other products. This contributes to a sustainable future for you and future generations. Mpact Recycling is the leading collector of paper for recycling in South Africa and is the largest producer of paper made from recycled materials. We are involved in the entire process from collecting through to making new paper and converting it into boxes. Also, with our move into plastic recycling, we will ensure that more used polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles can be made into new bottles. Our new plastic recycling plant processes 29 000 tonnes of PET bottles a year and will produce a new raw material from what was considered waste. This plant will save about 185 000 cubic metres of landfill space each year, equivalent to 75 Olympic-size swimming pools. Mpact’s substantial collection footprint adds weight to our contribution to job creation and environmental stewardship.

Mpact is also actively leading change in the industry through smarter, sustainable thinking.

IMAGES: SUPPLIED

Q: How did your business start?

A: Cindy and I wanted an outlet for our creative abilities and decided that a retail space with beautiful items we both made or sourced would be the best way to bring this vision to life.

A: T he space we occupy is in a great location with good accessibility

and visibility and the tenant mix at the centre allows us to also complement the offering. The property has a large shopfront, is light and bright with a modern clean feel and has wooden elements ideal for showcasing our products.

30-year home loan?

We all know home loans represent one of the cheapest forms of credit, but are there any advantages to signing up for a 30year bond as opposed to a 20-year one?

WORDS: ANNE SCHAUFFER IMAGE: ISTOCK

TOP TIP: Only use your home loan to fund items or expenses that would have attracted higher rates of interest.

T

welve months, six, or cash is the little ditty which rings out when you’re in most of the big chain stores and, of course, you’re often wooed by the longer payment option, because it seems more affordable.

But if there’s interest involved, it may be more affordable on a monthly basis, but it’s certainly not cheaper in the long term. It’s the same with a home loan. There are, however, occasions when opting for a 30-year home loan can be advantageous, but you need to think carefully about it, because interest makes it costly in the long term. Tommy Nel, head: credit, FNB Home Loans, says that not only does a 30-year bond result in 64% more interest payable, compared to the 20-year option, but you might also be charged a higher interest rate. Generally speaking, says Nel, a 30-year bond will only be granted to somebody who can afford the monthly repayments of a 20-year one.

But the 30-year option can be beneficial for a property investor, says Nel. He says that under certain circumstances, with all things being equal, the 30-year option could be more tax efficient.

“An investor taking a 30-year loan may claim the interest on their home loan as a deduction against rental

income for 10 more years, as opposed to an investor who took up the 20-year option.” This only works, of course, if the person satisfies all the requirements for claiming the interest deduction.

There’s another way a 30-year bond can work: if you’re disciplined and use your bond as a savings tool and a cost-effective way of borrowing money.

“Pay the amount you would save in the form of a lower repayment on a 20-year option versus a 30-year option, as pre-payments into your flexi-facility,” says Nel. This allows you to build up a prepaid amount immediately accessible if you need funds. If you had taken the 20-year loan and paid only the minimum monthly repayment, there’d be no funds in the flexi-facility.

Nel also suggests other ways a 30-year loan can work well: “If you, the homeowner, are putting excess funds into your bond to try and pay it off sooner, or if you’re investing these ‘savings’ (between 30- and 20-year instalments) into shares, unit trusts or increasing your pension fund contributions.”

What isn’t smart is to opt for the lower instalments of a 30-year loan, and use it to boost your lifestyle.

The day of reckoning will arrive.

Marriott International plants itself on African soil

C

ape Town’s skyline is set to change as the world’s largest hotel company cements its local presence with the development of three hotels in Cape Town, and two in Joburg.

The ink had barely dried on the $13bn merger with Starwood Hotels that made Marriott International the largest hotel operator in the world, when the company announced a series of firsts. This notably included a R3bn agreement with local property developers Amdec Group that will result in five branded hotels opening in South Africa, catering for different market segments among international and domestic visitors.

The three new hotels in the Mother City include the first Marriott Hotel in Cape Town; the first upscale extendedstay brand in South Africa, Residence Inn by Marriott; and AC Hotels by Marriott, the first hotel under this brand for the Middle East and Africa region. And, of the R3bn total, R1bn is earmarked for the Joburg developments: Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch and Marriott Executive Apartments, expected to open mid-August 2018.

The first of the Cape Town hotels to open will be the 189-room AC Hotel Cape Town Waterfront at The Yacht Club in June 2018, a unique mixed-use landmark that includes exclusive residential apartments and prime-grade offices.

The gist of the acts is in regulation of the industry, which is a good thing: homeowners associations weren’t regulated, so there was no uniformity. Now compliance is key.

MICHAEL BAUER, PROPERTY MANAGER, IHFM

Average time on the market for homes in SA

A

ccording to Lightstone, the process of selling a home – also known as “time on market” – in South Africa takes, on average, between three and nine months.

Time on market shares a commonality with most key indicators of the property market – such as house price inflation, total transactions, and new property stock built – since it too is dependent on economic drivers like economic growth and interest rates.

The relationship between major economic variables and time on market is not, according to Lightstone, as strongly linked as one might think.

It seems as if time on market is only responsive if there is a significant shock in the economy, such as the subprime mortgage crash of 2008/09.

However, even when these economic shocks occur, the number of months a property needs to be on show for before it is purchased, seldom changes by more than one month.

There is also a significant difference between the average time on market of mid-value properties and high- and luxury-value properties.

On average, mid-value properties take five and a half to six and a half months before they sell, while highvalue and luxury properties take between five and six months to sell.

Knowing your retirement options

A

ccording to Marelize van Rooyen, marketing director, Retirement Villages SA, the Retired Persons Act establishes a minimum age for residents of a retirement property. It states that the property can be owned by a person of any age but that one of the residents must be 50 years or older to occupy the residence. A particular village or estate may amend these stipulations, so anyone considering buying into a retirement village should familiarise themselves with the development’s constitution and rules of conduct.

The act also covers the type of ownership that is allowed, including single title or freehold, sectional title or life-right purchase, or rental. “In a single title development, all the traditional responsibilities and accountabilities of traditional home ownership would

be applicable,” says Van Rooyen.

“The developer of a sectional title development carries no responsibility for the ongoing maintenance and cost management aspects once built.”

For both a single and sectional title property, depending on the village constitution, a percentage may be due back to the village upon the sale of a unit.

“Life rights offer that purchasers have a legal right to occupy the unit for the duration of their life,” says Van Rooyen.

“Unlike sectional title developments, an advantage of life rights is that it is not a property transfer, there are no bond registration fees, transfer duties and no VAT payable, thereby avoiding the negative effects that such costs have upon discretionary income and estate values.”
