Condensation and dampness are common issues in many homes, often leading to unpleasant odours and the growth of black mould. This occurs when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, causing water vapour to condense. Left untreated, damp can affect indoor air quality and damage internal finishes, such as paint and plaster.

Effectively managing moisture levels through proper ventilation and heating is key to maintaining a healthy and structurally sound home environment. Addressing the root cause now saves extensive repair work later.

Here are ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜€ to manage damp and condensation:

Open windows for a few minutes each day, especially in winter, to allow moist air to escape and fresh air to circulate throughout the house.

When selling a home, choosing the right agent can make a substantial difference to the final result. Itโ€™s not just about selling quickly โ€” itโ€™s about securing the highest possible price through strategic marketing, skilled negotiation, and the right approach from day one.

If you know someone considering selling, Iโ€™d appreciate the opportunity to help them achieve the best outcome.

While affordability pressures and cautious banking behaviour remain important risks, the market is showing clear signs of renewed confidence, particularly in regions benefiting from stronger economic growth, employment activity and rising household earnings.

โ€ข Home loan applications climbed 6.2% year-on-year as lower interest rates continue supporting buyer activity.
โ€ข First-time buyers are driving demand, with average purchase prices rising to a record R1.4 million.
โ€ข Rising deposits and elevated construction costs remain major affordability risks for the residential market.

According to the latest BetterBond Property Brief, the market continues to recover as lower interest rates, improving household finances and stronger economic activity support buyer confidence. However, elevated fuel prices, global geopolitical tensions and stricter lending conditions remain key risks to affordability and future market growth.

A recent High Court ruling has sent a warning to bodies corporate and residential estates across South Africa. Levy collection practices that allow legal costs to spiral far beyond the underlying debt may not stand up in court, even where the arrears themselves are not disputed.

In a judgment handed down on 10 March 2026, the High Court of South Africa refused to grant judgment against a homeowner living in a gated community.

The homeowner owed just under R18,000 in unpaid levies after legal costs ballooned to nearly five times that amount.

The case has highlighted and criticised how levy arrears are pursued in estates, gated communities or sectional title schemes.

This is the feedback from Johlene Wasserman, Director of Community Schemes and Compliance at VDM Incorporated, who said the ruling signals a shift in how courts approach these matters.

โ€œThe ruling reflects growing judicial concern about how levy arrears are pursued. Levy arrears are the financial lifeblood of community schemes,โ€ she said.
