HERITAGE IS MORE THAN A DAY🔥🇿🇦

It’s our traditions.
Our stories.
Our people.
And the moments that bring us together.

Heritage lives in the fire light, the recipes passed down through generations, the languages we speak, and the warmth of the tables we share.

As South Africa reflects on this year’s theme “Reimagine our heritage institutions for a new era” we are reminded that the most important heritage institution of all is the home. It is the place where our stories begin, our culture is lived, and our traditions are carried forward.🏡

Because our heritage isn’t just something we remember.

From all of us at CCH, wishing you and your family a safe, joy-filled, and memorable Heritage Day!😄

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has raised the repo rate by 25 basis points, taking it to 7.25%.

As a result, the prime lending rate increases to 10.75%. The decision was announced today, 23 September 2026, and was unanimous.

So, what does this mean for homeowners and prospective property buyers?

On a 𝐑𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝟐𝟎-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞, the increase works out to approximately 𝐑𝟑𝟑𝟕 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 or around 𝐑𝟒𝟎𝟒𝟒 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.

While 0.25% may sound small, changes in interest rates can have a meaningful impact on monthly affordability, borrowing costs and household budgets.

🏡Property remains a long-term investment.

Buying a property together is exciting – until the relationship ends and one person wants out, while the other refuses to cooperate.

Can one co-owner simply refuse to sell, buy the other out, or bring the joint ownership to an end?

A recent High Court judgment in 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘷 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯 provides important insight into the rights of co-owners and the legal remedy of 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰.

The judgment highlights an important principle for unmarried couples who own property together: 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲.

As electric vehicles become increasingly popular, more homeowners are considering installing charging stations at their properties. But before you plug in, there are a few important questions to consider.

• Does the installation require a Certificate of Compliance?
• What about approved building plans if the charger is installed inside a garage or other structure?
• Do Body Corporate or HOA rules apply?
• And what could happen to your insurance cover if an EV or battery fire occurs?

Understanding the 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 before installation can help homeowners avoid unnecessary complications later.

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” – Phil Jackson

Different strengths. Different talents. Different perspectives. Different personalities.

A great team doesn’t ask everyone to be the same. It creates a space where everyone can bring their best – knowing that their contribution matters and that they don’t have to do it alone.

Because your strength makes the team stronger.
And the strength of the team gives you the confidence to go further.💪🙂

When an estate agent describes a property as "𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨" 𝘰𝘳 "𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭", is that simply sales talk – or could those words create legal responsibility for the property’s condition and safety?

A recent Western Cape High Court case, 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘷 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘬𝘺, looked at exactly this issue after the wooden deck of a property collapsed just seven months after the buyers moved in.

The case highlights the important distinction between marketing language and factual representations, as well as what buyers, sellers and estate agents should understand about 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬.

When a divorce is ongoing, questions surrounding the family home can become particularly complex – especially when the property is registered in only one spouse’s name and is subsequently sold.

A recent 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓 𝒗 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒌 considered whether a spouse’s pending accrual claim could entitle them to remain in a property that had been sold to new owners.
