New53unit development
forMacassar
Macassar, thesmallsuburbabout
12 km from Somerset West in
Cape Town, just south of the N2
freeway, is about to get a new
housing development that is
ideally designed and priced for
the local market.
So says Adelaide Wildschut, the
Rawson Property Groups fran-
chisee for the area.
This development, to be known as
Macassar Village Estates, will con-
sist of 53 homes in four floor sizes:
48 m, 57 m, 65 m and 72 m. The
homes will all have mono-pitched
roofs and two or three bedrooms.
Communal and bathroom areas will
be tiled and purchasers can choose
between laminated wood or tiled
floors in the bedrooms. The sales
price includes a stove in every unit,
built-in cupboards in the bedrooms,
blinds, burglar bars and safety gates
on the external doors.
Each unit will have a starter ga-
rage, theremainderofwhichcanbe
added to each unit for a small extra
cost. All homes are freestanding and
on their own plots.
The prices, which vary from
R340 000 to R448 000, are amazingly
low in todays market and almost
withoutequalanywhere intheCape,
says Wildschut.
This, she says, means that thema-
jority of buyers will have to be earn-
ing a combined family income of at
least R10 000 per month and she an-
ticipates that nearly all the purchas-
ers will be applying for 100% bonds.
TheRawsonPropertyGroupis the
onlyagencyinvolvedinthisdevelop-
ment and they expect the units to be
sold out before the end of the year.
Macassar, which is sometimes re-
ferred to as the Capes sleepy hol-
low, has always had a very active
home sales market, says Wildschut.
The main reason for this is simply
affordability: prices here are very
seldom above R550 000 and can go as
low as R100 000.
Furthermore, she says, the area
has both primary and secondary
schools,anoldagehome,clinic,afew
sports facilities and retail centres.
A flourishing taxi industry en-
sures that residents can reach Som-
erset West, Strand, the Rheinmetall
Denel Munition factory and various
transport depots relatively easily.
Demand has recently been strong
enough to ensure that the Rawson
Property Group, on average, sells
four to six homes each month.
As always in the low cost market
the big challenge is to get bonds for
ourbuyers, especially thoseneeding
100%bonds.WiththehelpofRawson
Finance,we are currently achieving
a 60% success rate but it has to be
said that the credit record blemish-
es, which can cause a bond to be de-
nied, can be very minor indeed and
quite often simply the result of amo-
ment of forgetfulness rather than a
deliberate unwillingness to pay,
says Wildschut.
Thelargenumberofpeopleunable
to obtain bonds has boosted the Ma-
cassar rental market and monthly
rents can vary fromR2 000 to R6 000,
theaveragebeingaroundR2 900.The
numberof buy-to-let investors in the
area isquitesmallat themomentbut
is steadily increasing, says Wild-
schut. Formore informationcontact

Buyneworupgradeyourhome?
Selling your property is an expensive
business. There are agents fees to pay,
and when you buy a new property you
have transfer and bond costs as well. So
its not a decision to be taken lightly.
In some cases your requirements may
have changed to the point when you have
to up or downscale and in such a case
its impossible to avoid selling.
In other cases it may be a real option
to consider improving or enlarging your
existing home to accommodate your
needs. The positive of making such an im-
provement is that you can avoid the costs
referred to above.
However, you do need to give considera-
tion to the risk of overcapitalizing.
In other words, if you spend the money
improvingyour existingproperty, are you
likely to at least recover your costs, and
hopefully also some additional return on
your investment.
Its true that in some areas if you over-
spend on a property the likelihood of re-
covering these costs is very small.
When you sell one day, you may be in
a position where you have spent much
more on your property than any buyer
would bewilling to give you for a property
in your location.
If you wanted to sell, you would have to
listen to themarket and price accordingly
and then you may well lose on your in-
vestment.
Before making the decision to improve
an existing property, why not find out
what the ceiling in your suburb is.
Estate agents have access to recent sales
information that will show what prices
are actually being achieved in your area,
and what the median prices are.
This should give you a good indication
as towhether or not youwould be overcap-
italizing.
Also remember: The golden rule when
it comes to property is location, location,
location.
You dont want to be the owner of the
best house in the area as you are unlikely
to achieve the price you should for your
home.
Its also important to appreciate that
some improvements to a property will in-
crease its market value, while others just
wont.
For example, adding a swimming pool
will only increase the value in the eyes of
a future purchaser that really wants a
pool.
Painting the property pink is unlikely
to add any value, as most purchasers will
want to repaint to another colour.
As a general rule, improvements to
kitchensandbathroomsarewell received,
as is the addition of bedrooms, entertain-
ment areas, and garages. But be sure to
cost these potential improvements well as
in most cases building costs and planning
fees are more than anticipated.
The more information you have at your
disposal the better decision you will be
able to make.
So, in addition to doing thorough re-
search on your own area and the real costs
of the improvements you need, why not
also look at what other properties are
available to purchase that would meet
your requirements.
Looking costs nothing and you may
well find a property that fits the bill in an
area you like, for the sort of money you
are willing to spend.
If in doubt, why not ask a real estate
agent that you trust. They should be able
to give you the advice you need, free of
charge.
When you have all the facts, then make
the decision that is best for you and your
family in the long term.

Averagesizeofhousesdeclining, saysStatsSA
The latest available building
statistics from StatsSA show
that the rate at which new
homesarebeingdeliveredtothe
market continues to trend up-
wards, but that the average size
of these new units is declining.
On an annual basis, the total
value of new residential buildings
completed rose 25% in January
and February, while the value of
building plans passed for new
homes rose 20,5%, notes Rudi
Botha, CEO of BetterBond, SAs
biggest mortgage originator.
In the same period, however,
the square metreage of new small
homes (less than 80 m) completed
rose 20,2%comparedwith the first
two months of last year, and that
of flats and townhouses completed
rose 38,7%, while that of homes
bigger than 80 m rose only 1,1%.
Meanwhile the square
metreage of plans passed for
new houses of 80 m or more
rose 2,4% and that for flats
and townhouses awhopping
50,2%, clearly indicating
that this iswheredevelopers
believe future demand will be.
Writing in the latest BetterBond
newsletter, he says the major fac-
torstimulatingnewhousingdevel-
opment at the moment is the de-
creaseinwhatFirstNationalBank
has termed the replacement cost
gap the percentage difference be-
tweenwhat itwouldcost to replace
an existing home and the current
value of that home.
This differential is variously
estimated at between 21%and 33%
now, but has definitely been on a
declining trend since the start of
2012, making it easier for develop-
ers to bring new homes to market
at prices that can compete with
those of pre-owned homes.
However, the size of those new
homes is also steadily declining.
The average has gone from 141 m
in 2006 to 111 m now and is
not expected to rise again in
the foreseeable future.
This is due to rising con-
sumer preference for small-
er, more secure and easier to
maintain homes in the face
of rising property rates and utility
costs.
This trend is underscored, says
Botha, by the fact that flats and
townhouses now account formore
than27%ofallresidentialbuilding
completions, up from 24% in 2011,
andsuggests thatestateagentswill
increasinglyhave tohone their ex-
pertise in sectional title sales, and
in working with bodies corporate
and home owners associations.
Meanwhile, this is all good
news for first-time buyers espe-
cially, because there is usually no
transfer duty payable on newly-
built homes (VAT being included
in the sale price instead).
This can significantly reduce
the amount of cash they need to
complete a purchase, at a time
when theaveragedeposit required
by the banks is 17%, Botha adds.
The average has gone
from 141m in 2006 to
111m now.

SEVENTHEDITION: THE ICONRETURNS
Newlegendarrives:VWGolf7GTi
QUICKPIC
To date, nearly 1,9 million Golf
GTI units have been sold world-
wide, of which over 59 500 in
SouthAfrica alone. No one could
havepredicted suchphenomenal
success when the first Golf GTI
was launched in 1976 (in 1982 in
South Africa). At that time only
5 000 units were planned for pro-
duction.
The first-generation Golf GTI set
a fundamental standard for dynam-
ic performance thatwasmore clear-
lydefinedthaninanyothercompact
car of its era. Everything was just
right about itthe safe and taut
chassis, the agile and fuel-efficient
injection engine and the cars styl-
ing, as unmistakable as itwas time-
less.
All of this combined with the in-
signiasofa futureiconaredstripe
around the radiator grille, a black
border around the rearwindscreen,
a sporty steering wheel like in the
Scirocco Coup, a golf ball as a gear
shift grip, ergonomically perfect
sport seats with a classic tartan de-
sign and a name that would never
be forgotten: GTI.
The engine of the first Golf GTI
produced exactly 81 kW. Now, the
seventh-generation Golf GTI deliv-
ers 162 kW to the front wheels -
which is exactly double the power
of the first Golf GTI.
The turbocharged engine of the
GTI is from the third generation of
the EA888 engine series and has a
completely newly developed cylin-
der head. A unique feature in this
power class is the water-cooled ex-
haust gas circulation loop to the tur-
bocharger that is fully integrated in
the cylinder head.
This type of exhaust gas
cooling makes a crucial con-
tribution to improving fuel
consumptionat full load in the
new GTI. The 1, 984 l TSI en-
gineadditionally featuresvar-
iable valve timing with dual
camshaft adjustment and
valve lift on the exhaust side,
which is adjustable over two
stages. This enables optimal
controlof thechargeexchange
process for better perform-
ance, fuel economy and low
emissions.
The new GTI is equipped
with a stop/start system and
a six-speed gearbox as stand-
ard. The benefits of BlueMo-
tion Technology system are
evident in the combined fuel
consumption value of
6,0 F/100 km (CO: 139g/km).
The fuel consumption of the
new Golf GTI was reduced by
1,3 F (7,3 F/100km) compared
to the previous model
(155 kW). The optional 6-speed
dual-clutch transmission
(DSG) offers uninterrupted propul-
sivepower,whichmatchesthechar-
acter of the sporty icon to perfec-
tion. In this case, the fuel consump-
tion is 6.4 F/100 km (equivalent to
148 g/km CO), an improvement of
1,0 F/100km (7,4 F/100 km).
The significantly improved fuel
economyvalues of the newGolf GTI
can be traced back to actions that
fought for every tenth of a litre in
savings.
The sports car, like the basemod-
el, is based on the new modular
transversematrix (MQB).And, sim-
ilar to the base model, the weight of
the GTI was also reduced compared
tothepreviousmodel from1 393 kg
to 1 351 kg (42 kg savings). The car's
aerodynamics were also improved
from 0,73 m in the previous model
to 0.70 m. In urban traffic and in
traffic jams, the standard Stop/
Start system of the GTI has a posi-
tive effect on fuel economy.Thesub-
stantially higher torque of 350 Nm
(instead of the 280 Nm of the previ-
ous model) made it possible to also
reduce the gear ratios for lower en-
gine speeds, adapting them to the
engine's lower rev levels. This
helped to reduce fuel consumption.
The internal engine modifications
weremadeincludinganewandin-
novative thermal management sys-
tem; they contribute towards the
noted18percent improvement in fu-
el economy in the 2,0 F TSI.
The low fuel consumption and
emission values of theGolf GTI con-
trastwith the car's drivingperform-
ance data. The 162 kW Golf GTI ac-
celerates to 100 km/h in 6,5 seconds
and has a top speed of 246 km/h
(DSG: 244 km/h).
ThenewGolfGTI isdistinguished
from other cars in the model series
by numerous additional features
and classic GTI insignia. On the ex-
terior, they include the red painted
brake callipers, smoked LED rear
lights in a custom design as well as
chrome tailpipes on the left and
right.
For the first time, the sporty
Volkswagen also has, in addition to
theGTIbadges at the front and rear.
red plates on the front wings
at the height of the character
line with the same typogra-
phy of the GTI logo that has
been used for decades.
The launchcoloursareRed,
Black and White. They have
been synonymous with the
Golf GTI since its early days.
Also standard in the newGolf
GTIarethenewlydesigned18-
inch Austin alloy wheels
with size 225/45 tyres.
The famous Golf GTI Vien-
na leather sport seatswith ex-
ceptionally good ergonomic
properties, have been re-
tained. The instrument clus-
ter makes a strong statement
with a colour display and
unique instrument graphics.
TheGTI-specific look in the

GutsySuzuki SX4
conquersSaniPass
QUICKPIC
It may only be nine km long, but
Sani Pass, the notoriously dan-
gerous, steep and twisty gravel
mountain pass linking KwaZu-
lu-Natal with the Mountain
Kingdom of Lesotho, has long
been considered a serious test
for off-road vehicles.
For exactly that reason, Suzuki
Auto Club SAs Jaco Nel decided
that driving up Sani Pass would be
aworthy testof theversatileSuzuki
SX4hatchbacks all-terrain talents.
And while conquering Sani Pass
would be the key objective, the trip
would entail driving some 1 350 km
over varied terrain, including
crossingLesotho from the top of Sa-
ni Pass to the border post at Ficks-
burg.
The SX4s odyssey started inCen-
turion, and after following the na-
tional route to Villiers, Nel and his
crew opted for the road less trav-
elled, traversingmostly rural grav-
el roads all the way to the town of
Himeville at the foot of the Draken-
sberg. The SX4 took the ruts, rocks
and washaways in its stride, while
demonstrating the benefits of its
all-wheel drive system to good ef-
fect.
But the real test was yet to come.
Arriving at the South African bor-
derpost, locatedat thebottomofSa-
ni Pass, the SX4 was dwarfed by all
the large, so-called "serious" off-
road vehicles waiting to tackle the
pass.
Needless to say, the presence of
the compact Suzuki, which admit-
tedly looks more like a sporty
hatchback than an all-terrainer,
evoked much shaking of heads. It
wasobvious that therewassomese-
rious doubt about the ability of the
SX4 to reach the top of the pass.
Intent on proving their critics
wrong,Nel andhis teamsetoff from
the border post, opting for the cars
4WDAutomode to provide the nec-
essary traction. The SX4 made it
look all too easy, copingwith the of-
ten treacherous conditions with
consummate ease.
The last few corners near the top
of the pass proved to be the most
challenging,as theverysteepgradi-
entwouldnormally require switch-
ing to low range. However, the SX4
wasnt going to be intimidated by
that fact, and bravely soldiered on,
withNel opting for 4WDLockmode
to optimise grip.
Much to the surprise of several
onlookers, the Suzuki SX4 arrived
at the top of Sani Pass without so
much as a scratch. But the chal-
lenge was by no means over. Some
of the roads leading from Sani Top
to themain roadwere even rougher
than the pass itself.
Undaunted, the SX4 took the con-
ditions in its stride,and didnt miss
a beat on the long and often chal-
lenging route to the Ficksburg bor-
der post. After a welcome respite
and overnight stay in the cherry
capital of SA, the SX4 was saddled
up for the final leg of the journey,
this time on tar.
Showing off its versatility, the
SX4 swapped roles from talented
all-terrainer to comfortable cruis-
er, cossetting its occupants in cli-
mate-controlled luxury as it cov-
ered the final 400 km to its home
base.
The SX4 covered just more than
1 350 km in three days, of which 500
km on gravel roads. Fuel consump-
tion averaged approximately
8 F/1 000 km, and the entire trip
was completed without a single
hitch: no punctures, no body dam-
age, and no mechanical ailments.
Our trip proved emphatically
that the Suzuki SX4 is a great all-
rounder. It copedwith awide varie-
ty of road conditions, conquering
the iconic Sani Pass in the process,
while delivering on the comfort,
performance and safety fronts,
too, Nel concluded.
