Don’t Skip the Inspection

A property might look perfect at first glance, but what’s happening beneath the surface?

From plumbing and electrical issues to damp, structural concerns and general maintenance, small problems can quickly become expensive surprises.

Before you make an offer, take the time to understand the condition of the property and what you may be taking on.

The lesson? Look beyond the pretty finishes. Know what you’re buying, ask the right questions and make an informed decision.

Buying a home? Let Wakefields help you make your next move with confidence.

South Africa's inflation story just took a welcome turn.

According to Dr Roelof Botha's latest Bright Side report, "the rising trend of inflation made a welcome U-turn in July, with the consumer price index (CPI) dropping from 5% to 4.3%." It's a meaningful shift, and one that may take pressure off the SARB to raise rates further this year.

For indebted households and businesses feeling the squeeze, this is the kind of news worth watching closely.

SELLING YOUR HOME: The Final Step
You’ve accepted the offer, the paperwork is signed, so what happens next?

The final stage is property transfer, where ownership is officially transferred from you, the seller, to the buyer.
Your conveyancing attorney will guide you through the legal process and paperwork, including the necessary compliance certificates and documents.

While there may seem like a lot to organise, you won’t be doing it alone. Your estate agent and conveyancer are there to guide you every step of the way.

How long does it take?
The transfer process can take up to around three months, depending on the circumstances and how quickly the required documentation is completed.

Once the transfer is registered at the Deeds Office, the sale is officially complete!

Selling your home doesn’t have to be complicated when you have the right team beside you. Thinking of selling? Talk to Wakefields and let us help you navigate your next move with confidence.

What is Real Estate ?

"I am the basis of all wealth, the heritage of the wise, the thrifty and prudent.

I am the poor man's joy and comfort, the rich man's prize, the right hand of capital, the silent partner of many thousands of successful men.

I am the solace of the widow, the comfort of old age, the cornerstone of security against misfortune and want. I am handed down to children, through generations, as a thing of greatest worth.

I am the choicest fruit of toil. Credit respects me. Yet I am humble. I stand before every man bidding him know me for what I am and possess me.

I grow and increase in value through countless days. Though I seem dormant, my worth increases, never failing never ceasing, time is my aid and population heaps up my gain. Fire and the elements I defy, for they cannot destroy me.

My possessors learn to believe in me; invariably they become envied. While all things wither and decay, I survive. The centuries find me younger, increasing in strength.

The thriftless speak ill of me. The charlatans of finance attack me. I am trustworthy. I am sound. Unfailingly I triumph and detractors are disproved.

Minerals and oils come from me. I am producer of food, the basis for ships and factories, the foundation of banks.

Yet I am so common that thousands, unthinkingly and unknowingly, pass me by. I am real estate.

- LOU SCOTT –
