Firstly, never screw with peoples money it will always bite you in the ass! Secondly, trusting a company with what is most likely going to be your single biggest investment in life into a company that has no SOLID financial backing, SILLY!As you may or may not have heard, RUDCO are now under investigation. Much like their predecessors FINBOND who themselves were given a good scolding years back when they decided to charge people for bond origination services, when this clearly went against all credit regulators and laws...According to Moneyweb "On Thursday the NCR announced that it had found Rudco had contravened a number of provisions of the National Credit Act (NCA), and its predecessor, the Usury Act. One of the major contraventions of the law was Rudco's policy to accept payments for loans b

In this register a copy of the sectional plan is kept and all the documentation lodged for the opening of the register.All rules, scheme notices and other body corporate documents are kept in the register for the scheme.

INTEREST RATE OK NOW WHERE!!!!! 2007-08-16 08:25:00 Interest rate hikes?? WE NEED A BIT OF MAGIC TITO!!!!13.5% it is - up 0.5%Im listening to online feed as we speak on SABC news newsfeedSo Food increases is a BIG BIG problem, affecting us allNCA - an impact thats defintely changed to 21,5% in June to private sector loans.The JSE has tanked over 4% as global markets roiled amid a credit scare, with one UK economist calling it "pure panic". I agree totally.Interestingly, the bank's Monetary Policy Committee meeting is taking place against the backdrop of worrying jitters on international financial markets prompted by worldwide credit concerns. Emerging markets, including South Africa, were not spared by this volatility, with the Johannesburg Securities Exchange closing in the red and the rand weakening to a four-month low. This bodes well for South Africa in the medium term, but it could be a rough ride in the short term.0.5% Thats it Rate today is 13.5%

here's part 2...Sectional Title Part 1Sectional PlanThis topic looks at the definition and purposes of a sectional plan:2 Description of a sectional planThe main aim of a sectional plan is to show the division of the land and the buildings comprised in a sectional title scheme into sections, common property and exclusive use areas.The sectional plan will be the legal source for discovering the exact boundaries of sections, the common property and exclusive use areas.3 Features of a sectional planSection 5(3) of the Act requires that a draft sectional plan must:show the boundaries of the land (the sheet showing these boundaries is known as the 'block plan'and is normally sheet No. 2);give the name of the scheme;include a scale plan of each storey in the buildings;define the boundaries of each section and give each one a number;show the floor ar Read more:Chapter
BUYERS OF LAND BEWARE - TAX TRAP AHEAD! 2007-08-13 06:19:00 THE TAX COP IS WATCHING YOU!!!!!From 1 October 2007, buyers of immovable property are required to withhold "advance taxes" (for CGT - Capital Gains Tax) where the seller is a non-resident.ALL buyers where the purchase price is R2m or more should now establish whether the seller is a resident or non-resident - not doing so could land you with a hefty liability to SARS.If you fail to withhold the tax, you become personally liable for it.Having to double pay between 5% and 10% of the purchase price will be extremely painful.The scale varies according to whether the seller is a natural person, company or trust.The percentages are as follows:- 5% for a party who is a natural person;- 7.5% for a party which is a company; and- 10% for a party which is a trust.It can also be hard to determine whether or not a seller is a "resident" for tax purposes, so you would be well advised to have the sale agreement professionally checked to ensure that it contains clauses to safeguard your position, inc
Sectional Title - Online Property Course - Chapter 1 2007-08-10 05:22:00 As promised here comes the first of our new Free Online Property Courses. An initiative by Wizard Midrand home loans.SchemeThis topic looks at the concept of a 'development scheme'. It covers the underlying definitions, the approvalprocedure, building compliance and residential tenant protection.1 Sectional Title
SchemeA sectional titles scheme comes into being when conventional land and buildings are 'developed' under the Act as a 'scheme', or 'development scheme'. This happens when a developer decides to divide the land and the building(s) on the land into sections and common property by opening a sectional title register for the land and the building(s).At this stage the entry in the land register for conventional land is endorsed to the effect that the land is included in a development scheme under the Act and no further entries are made in the land register.2 Approval procedureSection 4 of the Act covers this aspect. A developer who wants to develop a sectional title schem Read more:Chapter

Property Site tells users where to find Property! 2007-08-01 06:00:00 Your Property woes are gone. Finally, an initiative, maybe even a world first from the owners of Gravity.co.za, South Africa's first property search engine.An article from the owners of Gravity.co.za..."For quite a while we've wanted to provide our users
with an area-type search feature where they could see, at a glance, all the houses in a particular area/within a given radius.Most real estate property sites overseas would probably implement it as a map, but since South African agents don't provide street addresses for their listings and reliable street/area information biased towards real estate (e.g. that include estates, brand new road and suburbs that are continually appearing) is not really available, map searches are not an option.There just seemed no way we could get something useful out until we suddenly realised that we had hundreds of thousands of users who had been telling us exactly what suburbs they thought were relevant to them.

MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING THIS TEA."This Morning when we drove down the road, we saw 7 garages open on to the street each with a new Mortgage Originator or better known as a Bond Originator offering a new service,where do they come from?"...a confused Lena LeftyWhen I received this mail I knew we needed to do some explaining.Firstly, there are 100's of new bond originators on the market and everyday a new one seems to pop up and offer some FABULOUS new deal , but there is a reality out there. There are the guys who founded this industry with years of seriously great experience and there are the OTHERS who feed off the rest. Then there are the estate agents who have also set up their own deals with banks and of course there are the BANKS themselves who also want a slice of the action - CONFUSED??? I'm not surprised.So who are the real guys and whose next in line etc?Well the original guys on the block with most experience all sta

Foreign Investors - Buying Property In South Africa 2007-07-26 02:49:00 NEWS NEWS NEWSI LOVE NEWSCall me weird but I just love picking up the paper and finding a property related article, specifically a property related article that's worth blogging about.Today's lucky winner is the Pretoria News.Property in SouthAfrica
still open to foreign buyersThere's been alot of talk about adding restrictions on the foreign ownership of property in South Africa
. According to the Pretoria News the reason there's been such escalations in the price of property is because of the foreign investmentors that have been pouring into S.A. over the last 5 years.Is that true, partially, they bring money in, they're willing to pay more so property prices jump up! However, lets think a little about this, NCA being released, new credit laws, interest rate hikes, they're all BIG BIG BIG contributors to the property price escalations. Personally i think it's someone who's blaming foreigners for the average price of a house on the Pam Golding website sitting around the R1 500 Read more:Foreign

Splitters and drop a bombs and parking salaries for BONDEES 2007-07-19 18:02:00 Recently I was asked by question from Alex on an earlier article so I thought I would share this as you need to step up your creative juices. It is your money after all. Change your own spots.....be the bankerYes splitters and bomb drops and parking your salary all end up towards a similar end result. Either easing your home loan payment load or playing bank yourself and using your home loan account as a kind of savings account. The banks in general prefer to MANAGE your money for you, but of course at a service cost.The key to all of this is DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY PAID INTO YOUR BOND ACCOUNT.SO instead of splitters etc try to stay away from stop orders etc. Instead turn your bond account into your current account.Make sure you have Internet access to both your bond account and your current account. If you can link them together even better so.Then make sure your salaries or income is paid into your bond account on a monthly basis. AT month end transfer the total su

South African Property - June/July Market Summary 2007-07-13 03:42:00 BOOMIt's been chaotic and exciting to say the least...The last month in South
Africa has been a shock to the home loans and property barons and I think it's definitely worth a nice little summary. For those of you who missed all the excitement, well, here's your chance to catchup!To summarise it all, I'd say the 3 major impacts and stories have been the following:The National Credit ActRudco Financial ServicesBank ChargesThe National Credit ActFirst was the property boom, prices rising, interest rates dropping then, WAM BAM, thank you MAM, here comes the National Credit Act. All of sudden, investors who were purchasing homes by the dozen every month, found out that they could no longer afford (REALLY AFFORD) anymore property. Banks started declining bonds left right and centre because people were hiding money from them and claiming they were earning R60 000 a month when there statements were only showing R20 000 worth of income.To top it off, the interest rates went up!

Rudco - Home Loans @ 6% - WATCH OUT! 2007-07-09 21:15:00 Happy Friday to all you readers out there. It's been a long a busy week for home loan and mortgage originators with all the HOOHAA of the National Credit Act. It does however look like the banks are slowly starting to get things under control again. Just to let you all know. Bank Submissions are now taking 10 - 14 days. It's no longer the 5 day turn around time we've all become accustomed to.Anyway back to the topic of the day. RUDCO Finance Company.Let me tell you these RUDCO boys are causing quite a stir at the moment. Take a look at the article on MoneyWeb's site: Home Loans
Fixed @ 6%.Apparently you can get your home loan now @ 6% interest. Be careful people, when a company (Rudco) claims to have financing from a external source and they're not backed by the banks or registered as a registered financial institution, those blinkers should start flapping.Firstly: Who does Rudco get their financing from, and why are they not disclosing it.Secondly: Rudco claim to be using the Wor

Are banks charging you more than they need to with bank charges? 2007-07-03 04:15:00 DID YOU KNOW?Bank charges make up 40 % or more of the banks
revenues!Where else in the world does an entry level employee pay more in bank charges than he does in tax?An average person earning R2800.00 per month will pay 4 % of his income in bank charges per month. Can banks even explain what we are paying for. No explanation? Nobody I've have spoken to knows exactly what they're paying for in bank transactions because of the way banks reflect their charges and the way they structure their packages. Over and above this, are there hidden costs that we are not aware of?In the US, it is so easy to open a bank account, and even better there are no charges involved. You receive FREE atm withdrawals, limited number of cheques, electronic funds-transfer payments, and Internet banking. Amazing!In South Africa the average individual pays +/- R1800 on charges per annum on a normal current account. Take penalty fees for example, why are these so high? If you have an unpaid on your account due t
Buy To Let - Rentals Going Up! 2007-06-29 17:12:00 Well it's a sad state of affairs when I finally realised this morning that the first thing I wanted to do was look at my BLOG. Gone are the days where I used to drink till 4:00am, party all night and sleep all day! I have become an online nerd! AND I LOVE IT!So good morning to you all!After writing my article this week about Buy To Let Mortgages I realised that I'd left out the part about:"Now that Buy To Let has become the BIG THING for property investors in South Africa, Rentals
, well unfortunately, they're going up!"So this article is for those of you that are renting.South African tenants face major increases in rentals over the next couple of years. According to the Record newspaper, the massive movement of people from outskirts of South Africa to the city centres are forcing rental prices up. Along with this the demand for apartments and flats to be built cannot keep up with the demand for rentals themselves.With property prices booming in SA, more and more people are starting Read more:Going
Buy To Let Mortgages - Top 10 Tips 2007-06-27 06:27:00 Top Ten Tips for Buy To Let!1. Choose the Right PropertyLocation, location, location...2. Choose the Right MortgageCheck the amount you can afford. Remember that with the National Credit Act of South Africa it's no longer 30% of your income that's taken into account on your qualification but what you can afford after your expenses have been deducted at the end of the month.3. Work out Costs and IncomeWork out how much your monthly mortgage repayments will be and whether your rental income will exceed this.Remeber to look and see whether you can afford your mortgage repayments if the interest rate increases again (most likely to go up another 0.5% in the next 6 months). Another thing to consider is that should your tenant dissapear, can you afford to pay the mortgage costs for the next 3 months?4. Buy To Let 'Hidden Costs'Don't forget your bond costs.

I WANNA BE A PROPERTY BARON!!!!!! 2007-06-21 18:10:00 I WANT TO GET INTO THE PROPERTY BUSINESS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL - I'M JUST NOT SURE WHERE TO START!!!!!!Thanks for the frank and open emails I have received lately and just to touch base here are some of the real deal answers. Yes, it gets quite daunting as everyone seems to worry more about themselves first and only then consider any form of straight and open answers to where to go and how to get involved. There are no 100% fixed rules except for death and taxes, but these are the guidelines we use and have done so successfully.I, and my whole family, Wife, son, sisters in law, brothers in law etc are in the property business and not only do we do financing (Mortgages) but we do a lot of what you want to do. We buy, invest, build, sell etc as this is a great business to be in and the risk lies with you 100%.Firstly let me answer some simple questions examples are R 20,000 income (Gross) and R 500,000 purchase price.1. You can buy as many properties as you want. The key is can you afford

Folks looking carefully and what they spend their money2. Folks saying..maybe I should manage my money better (Do some consolidation) - If you want help here call me.3. The banks getting to actually offer you something substantial that will NOT put you at risk when interest rates jump.4. Folks buying for themselves versus buying for investment - it looks like we will see a lot more fractional ownership deals happening - If you want info email me. Remember financing
Top 4 Legal Pointers when Buying Property 2007-09-19 04:07:00 Before you buy, ask a conveyancer to check zoning regulations and title deed conditions so you know what your new neighbours are allowed to do. If you lose your view or find a business loading zone right next door, you have only yourself to blame. If you are a first time buyer and wondering whether to buy in your own name or set up a cc, company or trust, remember that under the SARS regulations for capital gains tax, you now face 50 per cent tax liability on the nett capital gain when selling a property registered in a trust, cc or company, as opposed to 25 per cent as an individual.If you buy into a sectional title and want to extend your unit, you will need the approval of the members of the body corporate before you go ahead.If your neighbour at the end of the street paints his double-storey facade a lurid pink, there is nothing you can do. Grin and bear it!

Property from a Developer
" is it all that grand?What the developers love to do, and it's a quick and sure way for them to sell their properties off plan is that they build one or two units. This way they have a sure way to show them off or as estate agents like to say put them "on show". You then see this great opportunity to buy "off plan". What falls into your lap now should you go for it is the following; 1. The responsibility to ensure that the time scale is realistic2. He is a reputable developer3. Checks are made on his credentials4. Whether or not the developer is using a builder5.
