22 AUGUSTUS/23 AUGUSTUS SOPHISTICATED HOMES: CLOSE TO MANY EXCELLENT LOCAL SCHOOLS Carefree lifestyle at Boschenmeer Boschenmeer Golf and Country Estate, located on the outskirts of Paarl, is now almost fully devel- oped, with just 11 vacant erven remaining out of a total of 485 properties. Pam Golding Properties (PGP) re- ports that the secure estate is one of the most sought-after in the Boland, offering a family-friendly country lifestyle with excellent se- curity, convenient communal facili- ties and panoramic mountain views. The 140 ha estate enjoys a pictur- esque setting on the banks of the Berg River, framed by views of Paarl Rock and the Drakenstein Mountains. PGP’s area manager for Paarl and Franschhoek, Surina du Toit, says 10 properties have been sold on the estate this year (2013) – half of them by PGP agents. These include a va- cant plot of 828 m², sold for R710 000 in April, plus four family homes sold for between R2,5 million and R4,3 million. The PGP sales included the two highest prices achieved on the es- tate this year, namely R4,3 million and R3,55 million. Boschenmeer was developed in 1997 around the existing Paarl Golf Club, and offered the first 27-hole course in the Western Cape – a David Frost signature course. A new clubhouse was opened in 2004, and all residents of the estate have access to its facilities, includ- ing a driving range, restaurant, Pro Shop, carwash and Virtual Golf ar- ea, as well as a Golf Academy, ideal for improving one’s game or intro- ducing youngsters to the sport. The golf course forms the heart of the residential estate, with nearly 90 percent of all homes facing directly onto the greens and fairways. Du Toit says the estate is re- nowned for its carefree family life- style and magnificent mountain views. “This is a place where chil- dren can still play outdoors in safe- ty, feed the ducks and ride their bi- cycles in the street,” she says. “It is a very safe and wholesome environ- ment for families, protected by ex- cellent security including 24-hour manned entrances with access con- trol, and dog patrols at night. Be- sides the golf club, residents can uti- lise other superb communal facili- ties such as two tennis courts and a swimming pool, as well as a boma catering for up to 50 guests, which can be rented out for functions and events. “Another factor attracting family buyers is the proximity to the many excellent local schools, both govern- ment and private, and to the Paarl Mall. “There is even on-site accommo- dation which can be rented by their guests, including a boutique hotel and a few self-catering lodges. And of course there are a dozen superb wine farms within a 20 km radius of the estate, as well as ample opportu- nities for hiking, climbing, moun- tain-biking and kayaking.” Homes on the estate are separated into separate nodes to match the dif- ferent lifestyle needs of buyers. These include a mix of full title and sectional title townhouses, smaller “country homes” on erven of under 400 m², and larger family homes on plots ranging from 400 m² to 1 000 m². Of the remaining 11 vacant erven, Du Toit says seven are currently on the market, with prices ranging from R820 000 for a 400 m² plot, to R1,495 million for 600 m². The entry level pricing for town- houses starts at around R1,4 mil- lion, while the compact country homes typically fetch between R2 million and R2,5 million. Large family homes on larger er- ven can fetch anything from R3 mil- lion and more, depending on size and the level of luxury finishes. Ar- chitectural guidelines maintain a Cape Vernacular design theme, while still catering for owners’ indi- vidual taste. PGP currently has a range of prop- erties on offer in the estate, ranging from large family homes to compact townhouses. To view these homes, or for more information on Boschenmeer Coun- try Estate, contact PGP agent Igna de Villiers on 082 884 8492 or [email protected]. This sophisticated home in the Boschenmeer Gold and Country Estate is on the market exclusively through Pam Golding Properties, priced at R4,65 million.

Jy kanbyvoorbeeld opmotorversekering bespaar asdie markwaarde die afgelope jaar afgeneemhet, maar as jy die afgelope 12 maande nuwemeubels of ander huisraad gekoop het, moetjy die premie vir jou huishoudelike verseke-ring opskuif om seker te maak dat jy nie on-derverseker is nie.

    Disookbelangrikomseker temaakjyskeepnie lewens-, ongeskiktheid-, gesondheids- ofhospitaalversekering af nie, veral as jy n ge-sin het, maar dit is beslis die moeite werd omdie fyndrukte leesomuit tevindpresieswaar-voor jy betaal en dan kwotasies elders te be-kom om te bepaal of jy straks beter dekkingvirdieselfdepremie, of dieselfdedekking teenn laer premie kan kry, s hy.

    Jou laaste taak is om jou begroting en allefinansiledokumenteteliasseerenopn veili-ge plek te bre.

    Disweerbelastingseisoenenn goeiege-leentheidomnakkuratestaatvaninkom-ste en uitgawes vir die afgelope jaar op testel en om jou finansile en spaarmikpun-te vir die komende 12 maande onder dieloep te neem, veral as jy beplan om binnedie volgende jaar n huis van jou eie tekoop.

    Dit is die raad van Berry Everitt, besturen-de direkteur van die Chas Everitt Internatio-nal-eiendomsgroep. Hy wys daarop dat raad-gewers se heel eerste raad gewoonlik is omjou begroting by nuwe omstandighede aan tepas, soos werks- of salarisveranderings, ver-anderings in jouhuishoudelike omstandighe-deof leefstylenjouplanneomskuldtevermin-der en meer te spaar.

    Tweedens, s hy, moet jy seker maak almalin jou gesin het dieselfde oogmerke. In diemeeste huishoudings is daar gewoonlik eenpersoonwat geldsake hanteer, maar dis altydn goeie plan om die begroting en finansileoogmerke minstens een keer per jaar met neggenoot of lewensmaat enouerkinders te be-spreek en hul samewerking en voorstelle vir minder uitgawes en meer besparings tevra.

    Everitt skryf in die nuusbrief, PropertySignposts, dat geldkenners dit eens is dat ditmakliker is omte spaar as jy n spesifieke oog-merk het, byvoorbeeld n doelgemaakte fondsvirnoodgevalle, vir n reis,universiteitsgeldeof n aftreefonds of n deposito om n huiste koop. Kenners wys egter ook daarop datditgewoonlikngoeieplanisomeersuitstaan-deskuldaf tebetaalvoordat jygeld in nspaar-rekening stort. Die rede hiervoor is dat dierentewat jyuit nspaarrekeningverdienmin-der is as die rente wat op skuld gehef word.

    Dit is veral belangrike raad virmensewatbeplan om n eerste huis te koop aangesienbankeingevolgedieNasionaleKredietwetniehuislenings aan mense met ho huishoudeli-ke skuldvlakke kan toestaan nie.

    Die derde stap, s hy, is om jou skuldlas rea-listies onder o te neem en dadelik planne temaak om dit te verminder. En al maak ditrekenkundig dalk meer sin om skuld met diehoogste rentekoers eerste af te betaal, het na-vorsing telkens bewys dat verbruikers meergemotiveerd is om skuld af te betaal indienhulle eers werk maak van kleiner bedrae endandie paaiementewathulle spaaropgroterskuld betaal. Dit is waarskynlik die besteme-tode indien jy regtig al jou skuldwil afbetaal.

    Dosellers reallyneedsshowhousesandboards?Many sellers have an aversion toputting their property on show, orerectingaForSaleboard.Doyoureallyneed these to sell your home?

    No not if you dont want to sell for fullmarket value. Allow me to explain.

    Every buyer will try to purchase for thelowest amount.

    If a property is listed at R1 500 000 andthe buyer believes there is little interestin the property, the chances of a full priceoffer are slim.

    However, if there is evidence of strongbuyeractivityon thepropertyand thepos-sibility of other offers, then a buyer willbe motivated to make his best offer.

    Its called buyer competition and itstheonlywastoensureyousell for thehigh-est price in the market.

    So how do we create strong buyer com-petition? We need to ensure that the prop-erty is marketed to the widest buyer audi-ence possible.

    This will include print and electronicmarketing, but shouldalso include theuseof showhouses andFor Sale boards.Why?

    A typical buyer will drive through theareas theyare interested inpurchasing in.Theywill bedrawn toForSaleboardsand,if the property appeals from the outside,they will enquire on price and then makean appointment to view.

    AtHarcourtsweusephotoboardswhichattract a buyer to a photo, as well as giveinformation on accommodation, and aQRcode that scans to thewebsite where priceand other details are available.

    When a buyer enquires off a board andthey already know the accommodation,the price, and the location, the quality ofthe enquiry is exceptionally strong.

    That means viewing by a genuine pur-chaserwithstrong interest and less time-wasting on unqualified buyers.

    Showhouses are a very powerful tool inachieving buyer competition.

    Its important to ensure that showhous-es are properly marketed just erectinga few boards and hoping for the best is notthe way to do it as you attract many un-qualified purchasers.

    But when buyers in a database arematched to a show house and specificallyinvited to the show house, and the show

    ouse is advertised, then attendance isstrong.

    In addition to this, at Harcourts Plati-num we have been trialing show housesthat run for shorter,more condensed peri-ods, such as 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    The show houses are advertised in thebody of our main print advert with theopening times. The response has been in-credible.

    Inmanycaseswehaveagroupofbuyerswaiting at the show house for it to open.Atarecentshowhousewehad12different,qualified buyer groups through a luxuryproperty in 1 hour.

    Buyers who showed interest could seethebuyercompetitionandweremotivatedto act swiftly, making their best offer.

    The result was a sale at 98% of askingprice within 2 days, and the property hadonly been listed 1 week.

    So, if you want to sell for the best pricethemarketwill pay thendont reject show-houses and For Sale boards. They makeall the difference.- Email your real estate question to ste-

    Hot tips fora coolpool this summerJuly and August are generally the busi-estmonthsof theyearforswimmingpoolbuilders,ashomeowners lookforwardtosummer and take advantage of the dryweather in most parts of the country toget their additions and alterations done.

    But with pools, as with any home im-provement, the secret of being able to reallyenjoy the finished work is to start right bypicking the best contractor and controllingthe building process, says Berry Everitt,MDof theChasEveritt Internationalproper-ty group.WritinginthePropertySignpostsnewslet-

    ter,hehasthefollowingadviceforhomeown-ers:

    )Never hire anyone who comes to yourdoor unsolicited or interrupts dinner witha telesales special offer. If you want to putin a pool, you make the first move, and findoutwhatplanningpermissionyouneedfromyour localauthority todoso.Thengetquotesfrom at least three reputable pool builderswho are members of the National Spa andPool Institute (see list on www.nspi.co.za).

    )Dont base your choice of contractor en-tirely on price. Research the track record ofeach company. They should have no lessthan three years experience building pools,be able to show you photos of their finishedwork and be able to supply phone numbersof past clients you can call for references.

    ) Insist on running a credit check before

    settling on a contractor. You can do this onthe Internet now at a minimal cost.

    )Ask about who will be doing the actualwork the contractors employees, or sub-contractors? Good pool companies use theirown labour, and will only start work oncethe necessary plans have been approved.

    ) Protectyourself.Geteverything inwrit-ing and never pay more than a 10% deposit and that into a proper bank account, notin cash.

    ) Link all further payments to specificbuilding milestones and hold on to the fi-nal 10% until you are satisfied that all is inworking order and, if required, you have re-ceived approval from the local building orsafety inspector.

  • 18 Paarl Post22 Augustus, 2013 BOLANDSOLDPAARL/WELLINGTONChlidanthus, the scentof springWhat is itwiththespringseasonthatgetsus all excited? Yes, theres that elementof new life and the prospect of newbegin-nings,but theresalsoawonderful senso-ry appreciation for nature new blos-soms, their scents, their beautiful pretti-ness and their promise of soon-to-growfruit.

    As floral themes pop up everywhere fromfabric ranges to school projects you maywant to join in the flower-power brigade byplanting bulbs that love flowering in Sep-tember and October when spring is at itspeak.

    Chlidanthus, with their incredibly sweet,

    citrus fragrance, should be your first portof call when choosing a bulb to really makeyou feel like spring has sprung. Known asthe perfumed fairy lily, C. fragrans is thespecies available to gardeners (its alsoknown as the Peruvian daffodil for its originin the Peruvian Andes), a species guaran-teed to fill your home with the exhilaratingaroma of the new season.C. fragrans funnel-shaped yellow flowers

    are a striking little collection of petals, 10 cmin diameter, on 20 cm long spikes. Becausethe flowers appear before the leaves do,theres nothing for them to hide behind just bloom after bloom, about three or fouron a stem.

    The Greek word from which Chlidan-thus is derived chlide, meaning opu-lence is indicative of the strong state-ment these blooms can make.

    For your own garden of opulence,plant these bulbs (which should be forsale in August and September) in anarea of full sun to semi-shade, 4 cm be-low the ground, and 8 cm apart fromone another, in friable soil containingnutritious, old compost. This should bedone in early spring (September andOctober) for best results. If planting di-rectly in the garden, consider lining awalkway with these plants so that thescent carries you along your walk, oron a terrace at eye level so that youreinstantly hit by the scent as you passby. Alternatively, pots are a great wayto carry the scent indoors when theflowers begin to bloom, affording youa true sense of spring inside your home,and not just out in the garden.

    Whats more, indoors you have lesschance of these plants being pesteredby the snails and slugs that love attach-ing themselves to Chlidanthus.

    The bulbs will go into a dormant statebetween April and June, so if you wishto lift them, do so at the end of this peri-od, in the month of June. Offsets shouldbe kept for planting, although patiencemay be required with these, as theyusually take three years to flower.

    The same patience may be necessarywhen waiting for winter to end so thatyou can start planting your favouritesweet-smelling yellow petals.

    No matter where you choose to plantyour Chlidanthus, you can take advan-tage of their potential as great cut flow-ers and place them in vases in eachroom in the house, giving your interi-ors a spring in every step.

    ToyotaMotorsport prepares for2014DakarRally inNamibdesertQUICKPIC

    Aweek of concentrated testing inthe Namib Desert near WalvisBayhas takenToyotaMotorsportSouthAfricaabig step forward intheir preparations for the 2014Dakar Rally in South Americafrom January 5 to 18.

    It will be the third time the ToyotaImperial Dakar Team tackles theworlds longest and toughest motorrace following a third place in 2012and a second in 2013. The team willagain enjoy sponsorship supportfrom commercial partners ImperialToyota, Duxbury Netgear, Innova-tion Group and Toyota FinancialServices.

    2009 Dakar winners Giniel de Vil-liers and Dirk von Zitzewitz, third in2012andsecondin2013,andImperialToyota Hilux team-mates, Dakarrookie Leeroy Poulter and Rob How-ie,whonavigatedDuncanVosto10thplace in 2012, travelled to the vast,open expanse of the Namib, some32 km south east of Walvis Bay andwithin 18 km of the Atlantic Ocean,totakeadvantageof thecombinationof sand dune fields and gravel tracksclosely resembling the geographythey will experience in the DakarRally.

    Since our success in the 2013DakarRally inJanuarywehavecon-tinued our development of the Toyo-taHiluxintheDonaldsonSouthAfri-can Cross Country Championship,whichisoneofthetoughestandmostrespected national championshipsin the world, said team principalGlyn Hall.

    AnthonyTaylorandDennisMur-phy are leading the championshipwith three rounds remaining after

    winning the last three rounds andDuncan Vos and Rob Howie arethird, so we are happy with ourprogress. Id say that the local cham-pionshipsatisfies55%to65%ofwhatwe need to know to tackle the nextDakar with confidence, with the ob-vious exception of driving on sanddunes.

    The local championship gives ustheopportunity to test the reliabilityof the vehicles components. For therest weve come to Namibia for thesanddunesand thesemi-desert envi-ronment that is so similar to the ge-ography of the South Americancoastal areas, specifically in ChilesAtacama desert, reputed to be thedriest in the world.

    The team,under theever-watchfuleye of Hall, has been concentratingonsettingup thechassis andsuspen-sion of the Hilux and also worked onthe aerodynamics, brakes, gearing,drivetrainandnewairconditioning,the lattergreatlyappreciatedbyGin-iel andDirk .Poulter took full advan-tage of the opportunity to drive theHilux in the sand dunes for the firsttime.

    While other engines were evaluat-ed, it was decided to stick with the5 F V8-version that did duty on thisyearsDakarandthatpowersthetwodomestic championship vehicles.

    Theweatherconditionswereper-fect for the entire week enabling theteamtocompleteover2 000kmofval-uable testing in the desert, saidHall.

    We got through our very full pro-gramme of tasks and nearly all werecompleted with good results, espe-cially thenewsuspensionwhichwasonly finished the day before we left.A great team effort. We still havesomeissuestosortout,whichiscom-

    monplace when you are developingnew ideas.

    Leeroy, as we expected, has fittedinto the Dakar team very easily andhas gained valuable knowledge inboth the big sand dunes and roughgravel conditions ahead of theDakar. He used every hour availableto run in the dunes and finalisedsome of the testing of the new carwhile Giniel completed some televi-sion work on the final day.

    We now need to complete the two

    new Dakar bakkies that are underconstruction in our workshop andapply what weve learnt this pastweek in Namibia. There is still a lotof work that lies ahead and the pres-sure will be on until we deliver theDakarvehicles toSouthAfricanAir-ways early in December.

    The team returned to home baseat Barbecue Downs near Kyalami onSunday to completepreparations forthe next round of the South Africancross country championship, the all-

    newVryburg400inNorthWestProv-ince next weekend.

    Big on car, small on price theNissanAlmera returnsQUICKPIC

    The new Nissan Almera is available with a1.5F petrol engine. The 1 498 cc unit producesa healthy 73 kW of power at 6 000 rpm and134 Nm of torque at 4 000 rpm. The low-emis-sionandefficient engineallows the five-speedmanual version of the new Nissan Almera toachieveaveragecombinedcycle fueleconomyof 6.3F per 100 km, the four-speed automaticvariant achieving 7.2. Carbon emissions forboth models are 149 g/km and 171 g/km re-spectively.The already compact engine has been rede-

    signed and repackaged for the new Almera,various components including the air filter,fuel hose and intake manifold being adaptedto suit the compact nature of theAlmeras en-gine bay which has been designed aroundminimal proportions in order tomaximise in-terior space.Theautomatic gearbox inpartic-ularhas seencomprehensivedesignenhance-ments which contribute to its light weight,compact nature. Changes include flatteningof the torque converter, a reduction in the to-tal number of gearbox components by 12%,relocation of the gear layout and amore com-pact direct control linear solenoid all ofwhich results in a total length reduction of

    43 mm and weight saving of 10 kg, inherentbenefits including a reduction in fuel con-sumption, improved shift performance andbetter driveability.Contributing further to driving enjoyment,

    handling and NVH, torsional stiffness of the

    new Almera has been heightened, thanks toreinforcement particularly towards the rearwhere the parcel shelf, the rear seat crossmember and seat-back V-brace make signifi-cant differences. So too do the crease lines onthe roof of the newAlmera, which contribute

    to a significant reduction in booming noisewhile driving low frequency sounds and vi-brationswhichworsenNVH levels. The roofbeads also contribute to better fuel consump-tion thanks to cleaner aerodynamics.Thechassisalsocontributes toenhancedef-

    ficiency as a result of an innovative redesignof key elementswhich impact on the vehiclesweight and under-body aerodynamics. Newmaterialsand improvedmachiningprocessesalso underwrite a lighter, more rigid andmore aerodynamic undercarriage. Suspen-sion is by Macpherson strut with coil-overdampers up front, with an H-type torsionbeamarrangement at the rear. Several designimprovements have weight-loss effects aswell, the benefactors being fuel economy andride quality, where a 15% increase in suspen-sion stroke at the front is particularly signifi-cant.The weight-saving continues in other as-

    pects of the new Almera including the rearbrake drums and indeed the interior, wherea parts reduction in dashboard constructionresults in a weight saving of 3,4 kg alone.

    Volkswagen Group South Africa hasopenedaworldclasssportsandrecrea-tional facility for its employees at themanufacturing factory in Uitenhage.

    The R30 million PeoplePavilion, whichcaters for indoor and outdoor sporting ac-tivities, will be used by all Volkswagenemployees and their families on any dayof the week.

    The PeoplePavilion is not just a build-ing but a platform where all our peoplecan engage with each other in a differentmanner beyond the hierarchical struc-tures. This world-class facility in termsof structure and quality represents whatVolkswagen stands for as a people-orient-ed organisation, said David Powels,Managing Director of Volkswagen GroupSouth Africa.

    The PeoplePavilion was built on thesame land that housed the previousVolkswagens sport complex. Our initialplan was to renovate and improve thephysical structure of our aging sportscomplex. However, it became apparentwhen we were reviewing our new compa-ny strategy that people form an importantpillarofourplantobeingagreatorganisa-tion. This provided us with an opportuni-ty to invest in a people facility whichwould help to improve their quality of lifewhilst also allowing us to engage withthem, added Powels.

    The facility has a gym which is man-aged by a qualified Biokineticist and isopen to all Volkswagen employees to usefor a nominal membership fee. The gymwill also be used for the rehabilitation of

    Ford cleans up on home eventQUICKPIC

    Mark Cronj and Robin Houghton, dominatedproceedings in the inaugural Ford Dealer Ral-ly, claiming yet another victory in the FiestaS2000.

    Ford proved its dominance of the South Afri-can rally championship with Japie vanNiekerk and GerhardSnyman also victori-ous in the S2000 Chal-lenge while AshleighHaigh-Smith andCraig Parry took tophonours in the S1600class.

    Cronj andHoughton demon-strated their inten-tions from the outset,setting the pace in theopening stages.

    Conditions werequite tricky. Some ofthe stages on the firstday were very rocky.We got a puncture dur-ing the recce andtherefore decided to bequite cautious in theearly stages. It workedand we managed to escape puncture-free, ex-plained Cronj.

    Claiming three victories from six stages thepair headed into day two as the favourites.

    Since the lead car sweeps the field, there isa fine balance between avoiding obstacles andstill keeping a good pace, he continued.

    Managing to strike that balance Cronj andHoughton went on to take their fourth win infivestarts,givingthemaclear leadinthecham-pionship battle.

    Jan Habig and Robert Paisley in the BasilRead Fiesta S2000 were less fortunate. Despite

    their early pace they succumbed to mechanicaldifficulties in the closing stages, ultimatelyputting them into retirement.

    What a great weekend to be a sponsor, saysJohn Nagel, Ford Racing Manager. Not onlydid we walk away with victory in three catego-ries but we enjoyed a phenomenal weekend ofspectating.

    Centered around Cullinan the rally was eas-ily accessible from Johannesburg and Pretoriaandwiththestagesallquiteclosetogethertherewereplentyofgreatspectatoropportunities. Idlike to thank the landowners that allowed usto race through and spectate on their proper-ties. Everyone worked exceptionally hard inthe hot dry and dusty conditions to make thefirst ever Ford Dealer Rally a huge success.

    The Ford Dealer Teams efforts would not bepossible without the support of its dedicatedsponsors: Ford Dealer Network, Castrol, OMP,Ferodo, Portable Shade.

    LandRoverSA tobackAfrikaans concertQUICKPIC

    Jaguar Land Rover South Africa andSub Sahara Africa (JLR SA & SSA) hasannounced its participation as the offi-cial vehicle supplier to the popular Af-rikaans is Groot concerts.

    The popular concert attracts some of thebiggest names in Afrikaans music in SouthAfrica who will play to sell-out audiencesat Moreleta Church in Pretoria East on 6,7 and 11 to 14 September and at Grand West

    Casino in Cape Town on 15 and 16 Novem-ber.

    Becoming the official vehicle supplieris a natural fit for Land Rover, says PeterBiven,MarketingandCommunicationsDi-rector for JLR SA & SSA. Land Rover ena-bles a lifestyle for its owners, be it that fish-ing trip, an expedition to the great out-doors, or carrying people and equipmentto appreciate some of the finest local musictalent.

    TheAfrikaansmarketremainsanimpor-tant and influential customer-set for LandRover. As ironic as it is for a very Englishbrand to support Afrikaans music, we havea loyal base of Land Rover fans within theAfrikaans community, says Biven. Thisis driven by their appreciation of the greatoutdoors and off-roading in general, wherefierce competition resides between brand-loyal friends and 4x4 enthusiasts alike.They become our best defenders, so tospeak, jokes Biven with reference to LandRovers own iconic Defender.

    Land Rover will be supporting the Afri-kaansisGrootDirectorteamwithtwoFree-landers and two Discoveries over the next12 months They will get to appreciate thepremium brands capability in the urbanjungle, as much as the adventure of manag-ing the appearances of equally iconic SouthAfrican artists that include Bok van Blerk,Theuns Jordaan, Jaunita du Plessis, Bobbyvan Jaarsveld, Arno Jordaan, Karlien vanJaarsveld, Riana Nel and Steve Hofmeyr.

    Land Rovers current line-up is exactlythe type of premium vehicle these artistsand many of their audience appreciate andown. Its a great opportunity for the bestin premium 4x4s to work with the best inAfrikaans talent.
