enal growth for our office, says
principal Steve Caradoc-Davies.
We grew from 14 to 20 sales agents
and experienced a significant in-
crease in our sales volumes.

tremely active with their develop-
ment sales, with Somerset Country
Estatevirtually sellingout, andKel-
derhof Country Village making
record sales.
Harcourts Platinum has also
given much attention to delivering
world-classmarketing both in print
and online. This was recognized at
thenationalawardswhentheywere

Itsasignificantachievement for
our office to achieve third position
nationally when you consider we

fices inareaswithmuch largermar-
kets, such as Pretoria, the West
Rand, and Midrand. Im really
proud of my team and its a testa-

Our business grew by 29% last

is that, this year,were currently up
another32%overlastyearsowere
on the right track, says Caradoc-
Davies.
Asked what he attributes this
growth to, Caradoc-Davies had this
to say: We strive to deliver what
our customer wants. We offer them
extremely powerful marketing,
guaranteed service, and a choice of
selling and marketing options. Our
agents are highly trained and were
totally focused on giving our cus-

Electra-Bugundernewmanagement
After many years in a career of productive
wiring replacing thousands of earth leak-
age units, rectifying over 500 000 earth
faults, removing kilometres of illegal DIY
wiring Greg Pipe andMike Roberts from
Electra-Bug have decided to call it a day.
After23yearsintheindustrydesignedtopro-
tect the consumer frombelow standard domes-
tic electrical installations, they have sold their
company to a brighter spark.
I am proud of my service in the industry.
Many agents have trusted our service and cer-
tificates for many years enabling us to main-
tain an excellent standard.
I would also like to thank our many loyal
staff members for work well done over the
years, said Greg.
He added that he continues to request people
to verify the qualification of the person doing
the inspection as there are many fraudulent
certificates being issues with unpleasant re-
sults for both the agents and the buyer.
Greg shares his advice by urging customers
not to accept the cheapest quote for the wrong
reasons.
GregandMikebelieve theyhavenot reached
theirsell-bydateandwillnowgo fishing, travel
a bit and work on their wives nerves, before
decidingwhat the future has in store for them.
New owner Conan Doyle is now at the helm.
This young man who, after several years in a
management position in Pretoria, overseeing
a fleet of almost 30 vehicles and teams involved
intheelectricalandplumbingupgradeofmany
buildings on a daily basis, is excited about the
future of Electra-Bug.
The infrastructure, staff and morale of the
companyisgreat.Thetwooldbullsare leaving,
andIamgoingtobreathefreshlifeintothebusi-
ness and ensure that all the requirements of
all clients, past, present and future, are met,
he says
Conan added that he has lowered the inspec-
tion fees drastically for the rest of the year and
he guarantees that potential clients will be
pleased with the repair costs as well.
I will offer a years warranty with each cer-
tificate. I offer two things: efficiency and cost
effective technical service. I thenbackmycom-
pany with a one year warranty, as long as the
problem is code related.
Electra-Bugs phone numbers will remain
the same and they will still be operating from
the premises in Bright Street, Somerset West.
I amexcited about the years ahead and look
forward tobeingof service toyou.Wemay look
the same, but I assureyouof ayoung, freshout-
look. I look forward to seeing you soon, said
Conan.

Stable interest ratewelcomed
The decision by the Reserve
BanksMonetaryPolicyCommit-
tee to retain the repo rate at 5%,
is welcome news for the stability
of the property market, says Se-
eff Chairman, Samuel Seeff.
Despite the renewed economic
uncertainty and downward eco-
nomic growth adjustment since the
second half of last year, one contin-
ues to see stable trade with about
18 000 to 20 000monthly deeds office
transactions.
There is an overall positive mood
within the market and, especially
during the first half of this year,
Seeff branches have reported in-
creased buyer sentiment and activi-
ty.
While the wider macro-economic
landscape is still not conducive to
a real recovery, the market has set-
tled into a new normal.
Overall consumer indebtedness
has reduced since 2007/2008 and the
banks are more willing to grant
loans, although the high levels of
consumerdebt still constrainsover-
all sales volumes.
Thisnotwithstanding, thereis life
in the market and well-priced prop-
erties are selling, with stock short-
ages becoming a reality in most of
the major metropolitan areas, he
says.
Buyers should not sit on the side-
lines for too much longer; for those
who can, now is the time to buy.
While a rate hike towards the latter
part of the year is probably inevita-
ble, Seeff says, that even at a 1% in-
crease, mortgage finance is the
cheapest in more than 30 years. For
ordinary home buyers, this means
that there are significant savings to
be had right now.
According to FNBs most recent
house price index, average prices
are on thewhole downbyabout 20%
since 2007/2008 and this, combined
with the low interest rate, makes it
an ideal time to buy.
Even in the primary residential
sector, conditions continue to fa-
vour buyers and there are good
deals to be had.
Those looking to acquire a second
holiday or investment home will
findunmatchedvalue in thesecond-
ary coastal markets on the South
and West Coast and on the Garden
Route. If you are in the market for
a countryside getaway, you may
find evenbetter value in someof the
most beautiful towns and villages
scattered across the country.
While one would need to wait for
overall economic sentiment and
macro-economic fundamentals to
improve, the market seems to be
gaining momentum and for now, it
remains business asusualwith sell-
ers and buyers doing good business
on a daily basis.

Thedifferencebetween
turnkeyandplot-and-plan
Buyers thesedayshaveanumberof op-
tions open to them when purchasing
certain developments.
It used to be the case that, inmost cases,
a buyer could purchase a plot, or a plot-
and-plan. A few years ago, with the re-
duced fundingappetite fromthebanks,de-
velopers introduced a turnkey sale which
the banks were very receptive to.
However, there are some fundamental
differences between a turnkey and a plot-
and-plan sale, which need to be under-
stood. The conventional plot-and-plan
sale meant that a buyer would purchase
a plot, have plans drawnup and a building
quote, and submit to the bank for finance.
Once finance is approved, the buyer
takes transfer of the plot and enters into
a building contract with a builder.
As the building progresses the builder
is paid out in stages, or draws, either by
the buyer or the bank, until the property
is completed.
The benefits of such a purchase are that
the buyer can build the house he wants
according to his budget, with the finishes
he desires.
Thenegative is that thebuyerhas to car-
ry to cost of servicing his bond while the
property is under construction, which
could be anything between 4 and 12
months. In addition to this, the buyer has
to deal directly with the builder, handle
the payments, deal with issues, and carry
the risk of delivery in other words, its
up to the buyer to manage the whole proc-
ess.
A few years ago the banks took a con-
servative approach to plot-and-plan fi-
nance applications, mainly because of the
delivery risk, and in many cases only of-
fered finance up to 80% of the total build-
ing and land cost.
In order to appeal to buyers who re-
quired a higher loan-to-value bond, and
whowanted toavoid the stress of building,
some developers, on the advice of Har-
courts Platinum, introduced a turnkey
product.
The turnkey product consists of a range
of pre-designed homes with plans already
approved by the municipality.
The buyer selects the property hewants
and signs a contract to purchase a com-
pleted home where he has a choice of fin-
ishes from the range provided, but where
no changes to the plans can be enter-
tained.
The benefits of a turnkey product are
that the developer funds the entire build-
ing process, dealswith all building issues,
and delivers a completed product to the
purchaser.
The buyer only pays for the property
once it is completed, thus removing any
delivery risk for the purchaser.
This has proved an extremely popular
option to many buyers in developments
marketed by Harcourts Platinum.
The main difference is that buyers can-
not change the pre-approved plans, and
need to restrict their finishes to the range
the developer offers.
However, the benefits of not having to
fund the construction or deal with build-
ing issuesmeans that a buyer gets a brand
new home, with the finishes he wants,
without any of the stress associated with
building.
Banks are generally happy to finance a
turnkey home to the same extent they
would finance a second-hand home so
buyers benefit from higher loan-to-value
rates, although banks have warmed up to
plot-and-plan bonds again. Both products
have theiradvantagesbesureyouunder-
stand exactly what you are purchasing.

Therehas been somuch said since
the financial crisis overtook the
world in 2008, about property as a
good or bad investment so much
analysis, discussion and dissecti-
on that there is adanger of forget-
ting that what the real estate mar-
ket is really about is the individu-
al, human benefits of home
ownership.
So says Berry Everitt, MD of the
ChasEveritt International proper-
ty group, who believes that its
time to re-focus on these benefits,
the first of them being, as shown
in many studies over the years,
that homeowners are happier in
their homes and in their
neighbourhoods than tenants.
According toHabitat forHuma-
nity, for example, homeowners on-
ly move every eight years, on ave-
rage, while the average length of
stay for tenants is only two years.
Writing in the Property
Signposts newsletter, he says the
second benefit, and probably the
most important for those with fa-
milies, is that thechildrenofhome-
owners have been shown to do bet-
ter in school, have more chance of
obtaining a tertiary qualification,
have less problemswith alcohol or
drugs, and earnmore in their own
adult lives than the children of
those who remain tenants.
Thisisprobablynotthatsurpri-
sing, since home ownership also
provides social stability and ma-
kes for better neighbourhoods.
Those with a longer-term stake in
theirareaareofcoursemore likely
to participate in local organisati-
ons and work for the good of their
community throughschools, chur-
ches,blockwatchandratepayeras-
sociations. They are also more li-
kely to garden!
And generally, Everitt says,
neighbourhoodswith high rates of
home ownership will give back
to those owners in terms of lower
crime rates, better schools, more
demand in future from homebuy-
ers and higher property values.
Which brings us back to finan-
ces butnot just to the cold invest-
ment value of property owner-
ship.
Thereisawarmtruthtothefact
that homeownership, unlike te-
nancy, enables individuals and fa-
milies to createwealthwithwhich
to better their own lives and those
of the people they care about.
Just by paying off their home
loan (instead of paying rent) they
can build up equity that can then
be used to educate children, start
anewbusiness or provide for their
ownretirement all prospects that
aremuchmore real andenduring
for most prospective homebuyers
thanthepossibilityofmakingakil-
ling in the next property boom.
The real value of real estate is stable family life and neighbourhoods

GERMANHATCH: THEA3 ISDESIREABLE
Audi5-doorSportbackhas it all
HANJO STIER
G
ood news if youre in the
premium hatchback mar-
ket, your extremely tasty
choices have just been supple-
mented with a rejuvenated ver-
sion of an old favourite the Audi
A3 Sportback. Ingolstadts regu-
lar3-doorA3arrivedlatelastyear,
but the Sportback 5-door version
has takena little longer to gestate.
Itwasabout time.BMWscrispnew
1-Seriesdidwhat it coulduntilMercs
hotly anticipated A-Class pitched up
and recent A3 sales reflect this. De-
veloped on VWs accomplished MQB
platform of Golf 7 fame, the cool Ba-
varian and fashionable Benz may
now have a fight on their hands.
Visually, an A3 is the sensible, so-
ber, sophisticated choice. Its clean
lines and slanted lights have an air
of elegant simplicity about them;
which also typifies the interior. The
updated MMI interface is based on
AudisMIB (Modularer Infotainment
Baukasten) platform, which tran-
scends models more easily.
The Sportback has a 35 mm longer
wheelbase to take those rear doors
and create extra space at the back.
Boot space grows by 30 F and the rear
overhang isabit longer.Byusing alu-
minium and other weight-savingma-
terials, the new Sportback sheds
about 80 kg over preceding models.
Whatelsecanonesayaboutthenew
A3 Sportback? Lets see: just like the
3-door A3, it is available in S, SE or
Quattro trim with escalating specifi-
cations. Engines are also identical
with 1,2, 1,4 and 1,8 turbo-petrols as
well as a 1,6 turbo-diesel.
The 1.6 TDi produces 77 kW and
250 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 10.9
seconds and a top speed of 195 km/h.
Average CO2 output is just 99g/km
and fuel consumption 3,8F/100 km.
The 1. TFSi musters 90 kW (122hp)
and 200 Nm, 0-100 in 9,5 seconds,
203 km/h, 123g CO2/km and
5.3L/100 km.
Itsbigger1.8TFSibrotherpromises
132 kW (180hp) or 250 Nm, 100 km/h
in 7,3 seconds, 232 km/h, 130 g CO2/
km and 5,6F/100 km. All petrol are
availablewith a 6-speedmanual gear-
box, the diesel and 1.8 Quattro only
with a seven-speed S-Tronic automat-
ic gearbox which is an option for all
but the 1,2 TFSi model.
It gets even more confusing, as
some trimsarenot availablewithcer-
tain engines and a fewA3 Sportbacks
willonlybeavailable laterintheyear.
I suggestyouvisityournearestdealer
to place an order. What I can tell you
personally is that the A3 SB is every
bitassublimetodriveasyoudexpect.
We sampled almost everymodel on
the launch and the Audi hatchback
didnt put a foot wrong. Build quality
is superb, the ride is exemplary and
the driving experience was impres-
sive. The diesel is obviously less
sporty than its edgy 1.8 Quattro sib-
ling but I had themost fun in the ordi-
nary, manual 1.4 TFSi.
Standard features on all models in-
clude power everything, remote cen-
tral locking, air-con, MMI interface
with retractable LCDscreen, adjusta-
blemulti-function steeringwheel, au-
to lights and wipers, extensive trip
computer and Bluetooth. Posher ver-
sions get leather, more bling, sporty
accoutrements and bigger wheels.

tionandmitigationaswell as anauto-

RangeRoverSport official pace caratPikesPeak
QUICKPIC
The all-new Range Rover Sport has been
confirmedas theofficialPaceCar for this
Sundays 91st running of the Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb. Known as the
Race To The Clouds, the annual event on
AmericasMountain inColorado,USA, is
famous for its spectacular location and
unforgiving nature, with much of the
12,4 mile course lined by sheer drops
down the mountainside.
As the course-opening car, the Range Rov-
er Sport will revisit the scene of its own
record-setting run earlier this month, when
it powered to a new best time up the hill for
a production-standard Sport Utility Vehicle
and broke the long standing record for any
type of production-standard vehicle. The
RangeRover Sport negotiated the 12,42 mile
course, which has 156 corners and ascends
from 9,390 feet (2,860 m) above sea level to
14,110 feet (4,300m), in just 12 minutes
35,61 seconds an average speed, from a
standing start, of 59,17 mph (95,23 km/h).
The record was set in a Range Rover Sport
powered by a 510PS 5,0 F supercharged pet-
rol V8 engine, the vehicle altered from pro-
duction specification only in the fitment of
a roll cage and harness seat-belts to meet
racing safety requirements.
On the record run, the Range Rover Sport
was driven by Pikes Peak specialist Paul
Dallenbach.
This Sunday, the Pace Car will be driven
by veteranmotorsports competitor and offi-
cial Gay Smith, of Colorado Springs. Smith
was the 1974 Rookie of the Year on Pikes
Peak and has served on the events Board
of Directors for 20 years.
This years Pikes Peak International Hill
Climb has attracted 157 competitors (70 cars
and 87motorcycles), with drivers and riders
from 16 nations. The entry is headlined by
World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb.
Timed runs start on Sunday 30 June at
08.00 Mountain Daylight Time (BST 7
hours, GMT 6 hours). For the first time,
the event is being broadcast to fans around
the world via the internet, on RedBull TV.
Internet visitors can also, starting from
this weekend, watch a newly-released four-
minute documentary film about the Range
RoverSports record runatPikesPeakearli-
er this month, with spectacular views from
inside and outside the vehicle. This can be
seen on Land Rovers YouTube channel.

tain, 14miles north-west of the town of Colo-
rado Springs.
First run in 1916, Pikes Peak is the USAs
second-oldest motorsport event. Some of
Americas most famous racing drivers
Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Rick Mears,
and Al Unser have won the competition,
as have internationally acclaimed rally

The Mercedes-Benz group of
companies in South Africa (MB-
SA) announced its participation
in an exciting nation building
project called 21 Icons South Af-
rica,which celebrates the contri-
bution by iconic South African
citizens to shaping our society.
The project aims to inspire and
mobiliseyoungSouthAfricansto
emulate the example of these in-
spiring individuals, whose
strongvaluesandmoralshaveal-
lowed them to achieve greatness.
The 3-year project focuses first on
the legacy of established icons such
as Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu
and FW De Klerk; then introduces
emerging South African role-mod-
els; and finally works towards lay-
ing a foundation for young leaders
of a future South Africa to emerge.
In addition, the project will include
a community development element
through corporate social invest-
ment.
21 Icons uses the art of storytell-
ing, across multiple media plat-
forms, to build a picture of the
tenacious spirit of South Afri-
cans.Mediaplatformsusedwill
maximise the national reach of
the project in order to touch the
lives of asmanySouthAfricans
as possible.
These stories of courage, de-
termination and inspirational
leadership echo a set of values,
which are also the foundation
of MBSAs own corporate cul-
ture.
As a proud patriarch of the
South African village for more
than 60 years, MBSA is at the
forefront of teaching the coun-
trysyouthaboutself-actualisa-
tion, through its various social
investment initiatives.
MBSA CEO, Dr. Martin Zim-
mermann says: History
whether of an individual, a
business or a nation allows us
to learn specific lessons, which
we are able to apply to our lives
and our future. South Africa stands
on the brink of adulthood, as it
rounds out 19 years of democracy.
During this time there have been
many stories of hope, inspiration
and success. As the country charts
its way into the next 20 years of de-
mocracy, these lessons have the po-
tential to become the cornerstone
that drives renewed nation build-
ing, and the emergence of tomor-
rows leaders.
Zimmermann adds that it is im-
perative for these stories of success
to be sharedwith a younger genera-
tion, so that they may be in-
spired to similar success.
MBSA has a long history of
contributing to the building of
South Africa, spanning over
more than 60 years. The compa-
nycontinuesitscommitmentto
the country, not only by run-
ning one of the most renowned
and successful motor manufac-
turing plants in the world, but
alsothroughitscomprehensive
skills building focus and com-
munity outreach programmes.
Our production plant in
East London is in itself an icon-
ic story of success. The resolute
spirit of our workers, their de-
dication to excellence and their
passion has placed this plant at
the southern tip of Africa firm-
ly on the worlds automotive
map, Zimmermann says.
South Africans can look for-
ward to seeing more about the
21 Icons project in the media,
with an innovative series of docu-
mentary style programmes set to
flight on SABC 3. Catch the first epi-
sode on Sunday, 28 July before the
news at 19:00 oclock.
