This popular home show, in collaboration with developers and real estate agents, will showcase properties and residences available in the Midstream Estates area – ranging from luxurious apartments to beautiful family homes and gardens, as well as retirement units.

Midstream Estates – established in 2003 – is a popular and sought-after residential estate that offers a village lifestyle while conveniently located between Pretoria and Johannesburg with easy access to major roads. There are 5 security estates within the greater Midstream Estates, and offers residents a choice of excellent schools, a large variety of recreational activities, two shopping centres and medical facilities such as the state-of-the-art Midstream Mediclinic and Medical Centre. It prides itself on its “zero tolerance” policy toward security, and residents’ secure living remain a top priority. 

During the Midteam Home Show Bonanza, prospective and interested buyers will have the opportunity to view available properties and have a chance to peek into a day in the life of a Midstream Estates homeowner. Buyers are invited to browse through the boutique shops, enjoying a beverage in one of the restaurants, and enjoy the safe and friendly hospitality of the estate. Midstream Estates has become one of “the” estates to live in – where families are free to relax and enjoy their time spent at home. 

Family values and a healthy style of living is what makes Midstream Estates so popular. Surrounded by evergreen parks, the estate offers a variety of real estate options that will suit singletons and families alike. 

For existing property owners, the Midteam Home Show Bonanza gives buyers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the real estate market in the area, as well as determining where their current property compares in terms of current market worth. 

Midteam Estate Agents
Midteam Real Estate is the best real estate agency with the greatest variety of properties in the area. Established in 2004, the agency is located in the heart of Midstream Estate. The agency specializes in Midstream exclusively and prides itself in having developed extensive knowledge and understanding of the greater Midstream Estates market and specialises in the sale of residential and development properties in the whole of Midstream Estate.

Now is the time for investors and property buyers looking for newly constructed properties to purchase greenfield developments. As from here on out, it is going to get significantly more expensive due to soaring raw material prices. This is according to Chris Renecle, the MD at Renprop, a Johannesburg based developer and rental manager.

“On new builds or future builds there will be an inflationary increase so buy now at current prices. In the coming years, you will be paying significantly inflated prices,” says Renecle. He adds that more and more inflationary pressure is going to be brought to bear on new residential property builds in the future thanks to much higher input costs due to the fallout around the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Construction prices have already increased dramatically with raw materials prices, such as concrete and steel, all on the up. In fact steel prices have gone up some 50% in the last year, despite demand for new builds in the residential market being generally low,” says Renecle.

According to the CRB Commodities Index1, steel rebar prices were 60% higher on May 12, 2021, than they were the same time last year. They were sitting nearly 30% higher on June 27, compared with last year.

American-British information provider, IHS Markit2 predicts that steel prices will remain elevated and supply chain disruptions will delay price declines into the second half of 2021. Steel of course is just one of the raw materials that is expected to come under increasing inflationary pressure.

Renecle says there is also a shortage of bricks, aluminium, and glass because of production slowdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. All of this creates a price premium with the costing of all recent development tenders for Renprop being considerably higher than they were previously.

Mining vs construction

Another problem for the construction sector is that it is competing with the mining industry for raw materials such as steel.

The mining sector, which is experiencing a boom at the moment, is snapping up all the available steel that comes to market, while at the same time there has not been enough local steel production to keep up with the demand.

While there has been little activity as far as new developments in the general commercial property sector is concerned, residential real estate is still experiencing pockets of demand. 

“But even though demand isn’t where it should be at the moment, this won’t keep prices from rising,” explains Renecle.

His advice to those wanting to get into the residential market is to do so while they still can. This is particularly true for those wanting to purchase investment properties as expected higher prices are going to eat into any potential future returns.

As it stands, Renecle says the properties that are best placed at the moment to provide strong rental returns for investors are those priced between R800,000 and R1m, particularly two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments with open planning living.

Renecle says this price range is the sweet spot at the moment, based on rental demand and generally provides the strongest rentals for investors.

New developments

Renprop, which recently introduced a rental guarantee product that delivers an 8% net return to investors that beats money markets, says there is healthy demand at two of its new developments, which are both in the R800,000 to R1m price range.

These include Fern Valley Apartments in Ferndale, which borders Bryanston, where two-bedroom units are selling from R799,000 and Brooke Manor in Rivonia, where the group is selling two-bedroom units from R979,000.

“Both new developments have rental guarantees in place, which offer comfort to investors in difficult times. This means the developer guarantees a rental income for an investor buying a property. Typically this is set between 6-12 months depending on the value of the property and mitigates the risk for investors wanting to enter the buy to let market.  At the same time investors do not have the hassle of finding their own tenants with Renprop securing them and making sure investors earn rental income from day one after transfer,” concludes Renecle.

A property developer is helping South Africans earning under R22 000 a month access an “underutilised” government housing subsidy to assist those wishing to become first-time homeowners. 

The government’s Finance Linked Individual Subsidy Programme (FLISP) helps qualifying first-time buyers caught in the “gap” sector -- those who historically earned too little to buy property – with financial support. 

Property expert Toni Enderli, said FLISP subsidies, combined with the lowest interest rates in 50 years, transfer duty relief and higher home loan rate approvals, mean many families who rent may now be able to buy into the affordable housing bracket for the first time. 

Responding to reports of bureaucratic challenges in accessing FLISP subsidies, Enderli says International Housing Solutions (IHS) -- developers of the entry-level, innovative and eco-friendly, gated community, Ihlathi, in Parklands, Cape Town -- has appointed dedicated FLISP agents to help. 

“Many who qualify are not accessing FLISP funding due to various challenges. Our FLISP team is helping them buy their first home in Ihlathi by taking away the administrative pain,” said Enderli. 

Realtor of Excellence’s development sales director, Wayne Lawson, said: “Low interest rates, no transfer duty or fees, higher loan rate approvals, attractive entry-level offerings and FLISP subsidies offer unprecedented opportunities to prospective home buyers.

“Monthly repayments for one-bedroom units (priced from R699 999) at Ihlathi are under R5 500 per month, compared to R7 500 a month to rent a similar space.” Two-bedroomed units start from R779 999 and three-bedroom units from R1 249 999, he added.

IHS’s SA MD, Rob Wesselo, said Ihlathi is Green Building council-certified, includes solar geysers, fibre-ready internet, and 24-hr security monitoring. “In addition to affordability, you’re buying into a safe, secure and ideally located community on a green belt. This value is unprecedented,” he added.

South Africans, fearful of a declining rand and uncertain property laws, could consider investing in Switzerland where one of the world’s top ski resorts offers safe and attractive returns and an idyllic getaway, says a leading SA property expert.

Toni Enderli said Andermatt ski resort -- rated among the best in the world for its incredible year-round lifestyle and recreational facilities, significant tax incentives and attractive returns -- has drawn a flood of global interest, including from South Africans.

Enderli, a Cape-based property entrepreneur, said pricing in Andermatt is on par with the Atlantic Seaboard and recorded an almost 90% surge in sales last year. The diverse property options include “headache-free ownership” and a guaranteed 3% annual net return on fully managed and serviced, one-bedroom apartments.

He said the resort, which is undergoing a R22-billion redevelopment, is ideally located, 1.5 hours from Zurich or two hours from Milan – both just a 12-hour flight from SA.

“For me, Andermatt is arguably among the world’s top 10 investment and lifestyle resorts, offering 180km of skiable slopes, an 18-hole golf course, and some of the finest biking routes in the world – in addition to almost every other sporting or recreational activity available – all in the spectacular Alps.”

“The village centre is car-free with beautiful hotels, restaurants and cultural attractions contributing to an incredibly safe, friendly and communal environment,” he said.

Enderli said Andermatt was exempt from restrictive foreign property ownership laws, resulting in a deluge of new investors from Italy, Germany, the UK, the Middle East, China and recently, South Africa.

“I invite South Africans to take advantage of this incredible opportunity while it’s available,” he added.

A community-focused residential and commercial village in the Stellenbosch winelands has been judged as South Africa’s best mixed-use property development, placing it in line for one of the most prestigious property awards in the world.

Nooitgedacht Village, which has attracted investment of over R1billion since it’s 2013 launch, was voted the country’s best by the African Property Awards, and will now vie for the title of Best Mixed-Use Development in Africa at the International Property Awards, known as the “Oscars” of the property industry. The village is part of the historic Nooitgedacht Estate and combines Old Cape and Bo-Kaap architecture with modern commercial and retail components.

Property expert Toni Enderli describes the village as “a community model of the future where you can safely live, work and play without getting into a car.” “It’s authentic, sustainable and affordable. Apartments start from R1.4-million and amenities include a hotel, restaurant, medical centre and gym, all located around a two-hectare eco wetland park.

Residents also have access to the 200ha Nooitgedacht farm for cycling, running, picnicking and more.” The village is up against developments from the rest of Africa, Dubai and Arabia, judged by a panel of 80 property experts and chaired by members of the UK’s House of Lords. Winners will be announced at a gala event in London on 12 June, attended by developer, Werner Wirth.

Cape Town get ready: ‘There is never a bad time to buy property…there are only bad investors who don't know how to take advantage of the opportunity.’

With pivotal elections on the horizon and a daily news stream fraught with negative economic sentiment, it is no surprise that South Africans are tiptoeing around potential investments and adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach.

Yet with recent claims from the City of Cape Town that homes in Cape Town have increased in value by 34% in the past three years, there is undoubtedly no time like the present for would-be property investors.

Wealth Alliance, an organisation that empowers individuals to change their perspective on traditional wealth creation, offer property investment seminars, masterclasses and mentorship programs. These programs will now be available in the Cape Town area, starting with ongoing free seminars* for anyone interested in the key to building wealth through property, regardless of industry experience.

These programs are carefully designed to assist entrants in the property sector, and therefore cover key aspects of the property market:

• Areas in South Africa where you’re likely to find the best property deals, and which finance strategies will help you finance your investment;
• Best Cape Town neighbourhoods to invest in as well as informal settlements ripe for investment
• Various investment strategies including back-to-back deals, capital flips and how to invest in property without any of your own capital
• Different types of properties to invest in, from residential to Airbnb and commercial
• Building your network, finding and financing property deals

According to property specialist and Wealth Alliance co-founder, Sylvia Koketso Milosevic, ‘there is never a bad time to buy property…there are only bad investors who don't know how to take advantage of the opportunity.’

As an entrepreneur who has boldly entered the property market and reaped the rewards, Sylvia now actively shares her learnings and provides people with practical tips and advice.  Drawing inspiration from Napoleon Hill’s legendary bestseller, ‘Think and Grow Rich’, she runs a series of dynamic property investment seminars and training sessions. The seminars apply the 13 classic principles of ‘Think and Grow Rich’ to the local property market, and demonstrates how new investors can successfully negotiate the property sector.  

“While it is certainly a difficult economic environment for investors right now, we believe that with the right tools and knowledge, South Africans can benefit from the current downward trajectory in property prices - and turn their financial goals into reality,” she says. “We teach our students that by applying the right strategy, regardless of the market conditions, they can achieve outstanding returns.”

According to Milosevic, “investors should combine strategies that will have you making money from day one, so it doesn’t matter if the market declines, you are still making money every single month, down the line, until there is an upswing again.”

Moreover, declining house prices are not necessarily so negative - as it allows first-time homebuyers to enter the housing market at cheaper prices. They can then benefit from the uptick when it comes. Notably, the recent budget speech highlighted some positive socio-economic investments on the horizon which speak to a brighter future ahead for savvy investors.

Regardless of the current political status quo, however, it is critical that potential investors arm themselves with the knowledge and know-how to turn property into smart investments – despite difficult macroeconomic conditions. “We are thrilled to be able to share our knowledge and experience with potential investors in and around Cape Town, and to unlock the infinite opportunities that lie within the local property sector,” says Milosevic.

Wealth Alliance seminars are now available in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Polokwane and Venda, with new markets to be launched soon.

The generous retail arcade with some of Durban’s finest stores, restaurants and coffee shops, connects the square with the lush Chris Saunders Park.

Indigenous trees, grass and planter boxes form part of the development’s design to create an attractive natural open space where a connected work culture and distinctive leisure and retail elements exist side by side. Designed with people in mind, Park Square connects the surrounding communities through considered stores, restaurants and services while simultaneously being a dynamic place for professionals to work and socialize.

Outlets to look out for include a brand new top tier Spar and Tops at Spar, Medstone Pharmacy, Armitage Men’s Outfitters, Pizza Hut, Postnet, Hello Hunny Beauty Studio, Seattle Coffee, Mike’s Kitchen, Sergeant Coffee, D’Lishious Shawarma, the Eye Gallery, Eazi Laundromat and International Bank Vaults. On the mix of retail outlets, Nedport Director, Ken Reynolds commented, “Selecting the right assortment of retailers for Park Square was a thorough process. We are confident that we have an excellent combination of fashion, food and coffee purveyors as well as great service providers that will attract people to the development to shop, relax and get things done.”

Located on the uMhlanga Ridge close to Gateway Theatre of Shopping, a GO!Durban Integrated Rapid Transport System stop and other attractions, and with ample parking, Park Square will benefit from excellent access in an upmarket, safe and convenient location. Office areas will enjoy a second, more exclusive breakout space which enhances the development’s people-centred approach. “We look forward to welcoming the community to see what our beautiful considered new space has to offer. We are sure they will be impressed!” concludes Reynolds.

Affordable housing, mixed use development projects and the impact of new technology and the Internet of Things on the commercial, industrial and residential landscape are just some of the topics of discussion on the future of the South African property sector at the upcoming African Real Estate & Infrastructure Summit that returns to Sandton from 11-12 October. Some 200 property professionals are expected to attend this award-winning real estate event.  

Programme highlights and speakers at the African Real Estate & Infrastructure Summit include:

· Panel discussion: The Affordable Housing Conundrum: How do we make affordable housing more attractive to investors?

- Panellist: Harold Spies, CEO, Similan Properties, a property development company specialising in the development of security estates with homes and apartments for the emerging middle class market in Mbombela, Gauteng and PE:

“While investors are looking at yield, developers have to evaluate yield drivers. To me, the answer is in the layered approach of addressing product concept, quality, management and constant evaluation.  It’s not a single thing, but a combination of the detail. When we dare to challenge the norm and strive for affordable luxury, design neighbourhoods and build communities, we have to pause at answering to experience design.” 

· Panel discussion: Integrated Urban Development: Investigating successful mixed use development projects with case studies: What makes these projects successful and how can we continue their sustainability.

- Panellist: Brendan Falkson, Director of Rosslyn Hub, a 100-ha mixed use development at the centre of the Tshwane Auto City, in Rosslyn. The Tshwane Auto City, is Africa’s first multi-OEM auto city, based on successful auto cities in Germany, Japan and China:

“The more role players that can buy into the ‘big vision’ of a project at an early stage, the more chance that this project will not only succeed, but thrive. Integrated urban development is especially significant in South Africa in order to bring communities closer to work opportunities and create better social cohesion."

· Presentation: The Impact of Technology and the Future of Residential Brokerage - What are international firms doing to stay ahead? How does technology improve the residential space?

- Rali Mampeule, CEO of Phadima Group Holdings:

“The new tech real estate business in the selling, leasing and buying of properties space will overtake the traditional sales and marketing companies in terms of overall values service to client and speed.”

· Presentation: How are IoT and the 4th Industrial revolution practically impacting the commercial, industrial and residential landscape - What is the impact on developers and investors in this area and are millennials changing the status quo for property development?

- Ms Laetitia Cook, Director, BiZense and Real Estate lecturer at the University of Pretoria:

“Rapid change is brought about by the 4th Industrial revolution, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and the ability to analyse huge data lakes, as well as new technology such as Nano tech, Med Tech, Prop Tech etc. To us it may seem daunting but our customers, tenants, and future landlords are already comfortable in that space. We should not fear this wave of change. The old way of doing things will not solve the challenges we are facing now.”

South African commercial property firm Rosh Pinah Properties is delighted to announce that it has opened a satellite office in London, United Kingdom. The office, to be overseen by South African entrepreneur Dan Greenberg, will assist South African buyers, in particular, who want to invest in commercial properties both in the UK and Europe.

In addition, the firm has enlisted the support of close associate Joseph Schiff from OEH International, who will oversee investments in Central and Eastern Europe.

Commenting on the decision, Rosh Pinah director Patricia Potgieter said: “While South Africa continues to yield opportunities, current market uncertainties mean investors are looking elsewhere in the world to balance their property portfolios.”

“Even despite volatility surrounding the Brexit negotiations, commercial property Investments have hardly fluctuated in the United Kingdom, and provide buyers with stability and limited risk exposure,” added Rosh Pinah Director René Styber.

Demand for housing close to city nodal hubs, for example, remains high throughout the United Kingdom. According to Greenberg, office conversions to apartments offer higher yields than new builds and in most cases funding is immediately available on completion of purchase.

“Investors in the UK property market can generally count on a seven per cent annual yield on a property, while borrowing at three per cent. This makes commercial investments extremely attractive."

Access to Europe

While Europe may have appeared out of reach for local buyers, according to Rosh Pinah there are a number of cherry picked investments on the market at significant yields, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

To this end, the company has established a number of associations with European property groups, which can provide access to commercial property deals within specific countries.

The increasing affluence among former Eastern bloc countries and the emergence of aspirational citizens, who want to see their cities model facilities that are available in the West, have contributed to a boom in retail shopping centres. According to Rosh Pinah, a number of large-scale multipurpose commercial property developments in downtown Warsaw, Poland for example, as well as large cities in Bulgaria and Romania, may be of particular interest to South Africans, who have an impressive track record in local retail investments.

“Rosh Pinah is eager to present these ground breaking developments to both local funders and developers,” Potgieter said.
