With interest rates expected to increase , super estates offer even more financial benefits to the buyer and investor alike . When buying into such an estate at the beginning stage , all costs , such as transfer duties and bond registration are included , ensuring massive savings for the buyers .
Another positive upshot from investing in a super estate is that developers are more sensitive to green-building practices ; utilising low maintenance materials , rehabilitating the natural surroundings and providing water and electrical security by way of solar power back-up systems and water storage tanks . This ultimately benefits the residents who are no longer at the mercy of the national providers and are encouraged to live more sustainably and responsibly . All in all , the super estate not only provides the greatest quality of life , but it is becoming more accessible and affordable to the greater population .
