PROPERTY:ONLY 3%GROWTH EXPECTED INNEXT FIVE YEARS

Rentingabetter short term investmentDALEEN FOUCH

The profitability of property as ashort term investment has de-clined according to propertyeconomist, Erwin Rhode.

Rhode says his most recent find-ings suggest that short term invest-ment in property will not producespectacular capital growth, addingthat renting a property may, in theshort term, save the consumer mon-ey.

Rhodeestimates thatover thenextfiveyears, only 3%growthcanbeex-pected for property investment. Hesays this, coupled with inflation at6%, will produce stunted short termgrowth.

In a case study, Rhode looked atthreescenariosto findoutwhichsce-nario would be the most profitablein the short term. In the first scenar-io a property is bought with cash, inthe second, the property is beingrented and in the third scenario thepropertyisboughtwitha100%bond.

He says the first two scenarios hadthe best results. He concludes thatthe only way a short term invest-ment in property is profitable, is ifit is bought in cash.

The reasons for the stunted shorttermgrowth, according toRhode, in-cludes the fact that bankshave strictlendingcriteriaanddonotgive100%loans for property worth more thanR600 000. A second reason is the ex-treme financial pressure underwhich consumers find themselves.

But local estate agent and princi-

pal of Helderberg RE/MAX, Lee Sie-bert, argues that for the majority ofpotential home owners, property isa long term investment. She agreesthat for the short term investor, buy-ing property in cash is the best op-tion, but adds that theaveragebuyeris looking for a long term invest-ment. Siebert says before the imple-mentationof theNationalCreditActin 2007, it was easier for the consum-er to get their bond approved. Shesays now, people, especially firsttime buyers, seem to move away

from borrowing money from thebank and instead approach familymembers for financing

Carl Nagel, residential team man-ager at Rose McFall Properties, saysbecause the supply of property isvery limited in Somerset West, hewould recommend that consumersrather look at buying a property in-stead of renting. Property has al-ways been a good investment.

He says renting a property in Hel-derberg especially, has become veryexpensive.

A seller may be thinkingthat, inorder toget themax-imum exposure to themostbuyers, it is best to list withas many companies as pos-sible. It might sound like alogical conclusion but thereasoning is faulty, and theconclusion is wrong. Allowme to explain.There is only one condi-

tion under which a buyerwill pay theirmaximumfora property and this iswhen theyhave to competefor it against other buyers.Inordertoachievethisbuy-er competition it is important for a sellerto ensure that themarketingof their prop-erty attracts the right buyers to their list-ing.Therightbuyerisabuyerwhois look-

ing in the correct price range, has require-ments that are met by the listing, and hasthe financial ability to purchase the prop-erty.So where do we find such buyers? Buy-

ers do not belong to estate agencies. Thereis only one pool of buyers out there andthey search for property in a number ofways: print marketing, Internet and web-site marketing, video, showhouses, andboards, to name but a few. None of thesemethods can be ignored. The better themarketing, the more of the right buyerswill be attracted.Thereality is that thismarketingcomes

at a significant cost to the estate agent. It

is simply impossible for an agent to com-mit the resources required toattract thesebuyers to a listing if they do not have thesecurity of a sole mandate.On an open mandate the best that an

agent could do would besomebasicwebsitemarket-ing, the odd print advert, aboard, and showhouses.This marketing is weak. Isit not part of a specially de-signed marketing plan tai-lored to attract the rightbuyers. And whilst it mayattract some buyers, it willcertainly not attractenough to create strongbuyer competition.The other problem with

open or joint mandates isthat the agents involvedwill compete to get yourpropertysoldforanyprice,not the best price. If they

get an offer they will urge you to acceptit, not because its the best offer out there,but because if you accept another offerfromanotheragenttheywillearnnothing.Does it reallymake sense to select a sell-

ing strategy that doesnt allow the estateagent to commit the resources required toattract the right buyers and create buyercompetition? It makes even less sense toput agents in a position where their moti-vation is to sell your home at any price sothat they earn a fee, rather than the bestprice.On the other hand a sole mandate with

an estate agency that commits, inwriting,to a professional marketing plan and in-vests their resources inattracting thebestbuyers makes perfect sense. It costs youno more. All thats required is commit-ment.Committoasolemandatewithapro-fessional estate agency and sell for more.

Honda launchesCBR1000RRSPQUICKPIC

For 21 years Honda has pursueda concept of Total Control withtheFireblade,afterrewritingtherulebook in 1992 with the origi-nal CBR900RR.

Over the last decade theCBR1000RR has developed into per-haps themost balancedSuperSportmachine available, combining ex-ceptional performance and han-dling with a satisfying ability to ex-tract the verybest fromevery rider.Victories in theWorldSuperBike

(WSBK) championship and all-con-quering success at the Isle of ManTT, with average lap speeds of130 mph plus over 37,73 miles overthe mountain course, is testamenttotheCBR1000RRsinnatecapacity.The open-class CBR has built a

loyal armyof fans around theworldover two decades especially withover 200 000 sold, throughout Eu-rope. And in response to demandfromhard-core performance enthu-siasts, Honda for the very first timein 2014 is producing theCBR1000RRFireblade SP. A track-focused, yetfully road legal, limited editionSport Production version of thestandard bike that not only looksspecial it is special.In Japanese to give something

edge is to add polish. And for thededicated track day goer thats ex-actly what the CBR1000RR Fireb-lade SP has been given: Total Con-trol with an extra edge.The chassis wears circuit-ready

front and rear hlins suspensionplus Brembo four-piston monoblockcalipers,with framerevisionsand new top and bottom yokes tosuit. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPtyres are the finishing touch.The 999.8cc inline four-cylinder

engine gets the same updated cylin-

der head as the standard 2014CBR1000RR Fireblade, with im-proved inlet/exhaust gas flow andcombustion efficiency, and an extra2 kW peak power boost. HowevertheSPfeatures factory-matchedpis-tons and con-rods, to ensure opti-mum internal balance.As a track-focused machine

At 35 mm (from 38 mm) the ex-haust pipe diameters are smaller,increasing torque and a new verti-cal connecting pipe balances pres-sure between cylinders two andthree. Peak power of 133 kW up2 kW arrives at 12 250rpm; torqueis improved in the 4-6 000 rpm area,peaking with 114 Nm delivered at10 500 rpm.The CBR1000RR SPs 999.8cc, 16-

valve inline four-cylinder enginehas the same cylinder head updatesas the standard machine. The inletand exhaust ports have been re-shaped and polished with the com-bustion chambers gas-flowed to

improve efficiency.The CBR1000RR SP uses a new

wavedesign ignitionkey; it offersimproved security and its compactsize greatly reduces the chance ofbreakage. Also new is the fuel tankcap it uses an improved breatherdesign for better venting.Instrumentation is a multi-func-

tion LCD with a cockpit displaydominated by the digital bar-typelinear tachometer that scrolls left toright as engine speed increases.Beneath this are themainnumer-

ical readouts: gear position, coolanttemperature, speedometer, clock/lap time, trip/fuel efficiency/fuel

consumption and odometer/nu-merical tachometer. At the bottomof the display are lights for head-light highbeam,neutral and indica-tors.Clear and easy to read in all light

conditions, the tachometer has fourdisplay modes: Conventional,which uses black LCD segments toshow current rpm; Reverse, whichemploys black LCD segments toshow remaining rpm. PeakHold in-dicatesrpmintheconventionalwayand also leaves a tell-tale segmentshowing the peak rpm achievedwhile Single Segment uses a singleblock to show current engine speed.In addition the odometer may beswitched to display engine rpm nu-merically.The lap timer features four
