Here Comes the Sun

The Growth of Residential Solar Energy

SAMUEL SEEFF
CHAIRMAN, SEEFF PROPERTIES“ The effect of a poor economy is a weakened property market with slow volumes and stalling prices. A good property market needs a good economy. People need a reason to invest, we should be encouraging that, not scare them away with populist policies and higher taxes.”
MIKE GREEF
CEO“ There’ s a drive to get a foot in the door with regards to Cape real estate, particularly with the steady flow of people from other provinces migrating to the Cape. The highest growth sectors will continue to be security estates, sectional title apartments and family homes near leading schools, however, land is in short supply in the Cape, given the natural boundaries of mountain and sea, so even properties further and further from central areas are starting to grow in value.“
ADRIAN GOSLETT
CEO RE / MAX SA“ Before purchasing a home it is in the buyer’ s best interest to check the title deed to see whether there are any restrictive conditions that exist on the property, especially if they plan on building on or changing the property in any way. The aim of restrictive conditions in a title deed is to create a property or neighbourhood with specific characteristics that appeal to a certain demographic of resident.”
