LLUXUXURY RURY RETIREETIREMENTMENT VIVILLALLAGEGE

SESELLLLING FING FASTAST

The words retirement village no longer conjure up the same image it did when our Grandparents were at that stage in their

lives. Modern attitudes and the need for security have changed the way of thinking and the baby boomers of the 50s and

60s, who are the retirees of today, view this stage in their lives with

excitement and vigour. They are techno savvy, have done their research, and rightly feel they deserve to enjoy their latterly

years.

The Somerset Lifestyle and Retirement Village in its planning, looked at all these aspects, and is fast

becoming the primary retirement option of choice. Taking into account the modern building techniques all

built to the new SANS energy saving building regulations, fibre optics which enables easy communication

within the village and the experience of 60 years in the retirement industry, this is no surprise.

After the successful launch of the fully furnished Life Right cottages the interest in Life Right sales have

soared. The beautifully furnished cottages bring the facets of the design to live and showcase the room

dimensions admirably.

Keen purchasers have already chosen their apartments in the new luxury apartment block, due to be ready

for occupation in September 2014, with one client purchasing two abutting apartments to be joined into

one. Large private patios and lush little gardens make up the picture of practical and comfortable living.

With a choice of one and two bedroom cottages and apartments and two and three bedroom freehold

houses, The Somerset has something to suit all and we are making sales weekly. The clubhouse which will

commence early 2014, will cater for residents needs with the newly formed Governors Club, which is open

to all residents, being the hub of the social activities. Frail care facilities will also be available early 2014.

The Somerset, situated on the Cnr of Sir Lowry Pass Road and Bizweni Ave, Somerset West, is on show

10h00-13h00 and 14h00-17h00 daily (closed 25/26 Dec & 1 Jan)

Contact numbers 021 8400018 & 021 8526153.

Visit us soon to view our showcase and speak with one of our specialised sales consultants so you can make the right choice. With all this information out

in the market place and a lot of food for thought, we wish you a Blessed Christmas and a peaceful festive season with you loved ones. We really look forward to have you as neighbours in

The Somerset and hope that you make the right choice.

WorldsViewhomesalways indemand

The tranquil, leafy suburb of

Worlds View is one of the most

sought-after in Somerset West,

occupying an elevated location

adjacent to the Helderberg

Nature Reserve and the elite

suburbsofGoldenHillandSpan-

ish Farm.

Worlds View is aptly named,

with its many homes enjoying

sweeping panoramas across False

Bay, the Hottentots-Hollandmoun-

tains, theHelderberg itself and sev-

eral picturesque wine farms. Pam

Golding Properties (PGP) reports

that it is a prime investment area,

with excellent resale values being

achieved, even on older homes in

need of some renovation.

PGP agent Edelweiss Hankey

says there is sustained demand for

the suburbs large family homes on

spacious plots, as well as for its se-

cure sectional title complexes.

Currently there is a shortage of

stock, which is boosting prices and

contributing to a quicker market

recovery in this area than in many

other suburbs, she says.

Just five properties in total

changed hands in the area in the

12-month period ending October

2013.Many families putdown roots

in this area and stay here for 30

years or more, which also contrib-

utes to the low availability of prop-

erty at any given time.

There is very little vacant land

left in Worlds View, although PGP

is currently marketing a vacant

plot of 3 200m at R3,495 million.

Entry-level homes in the sectional

title complexes start from an af-

fordable R740 000, with some small

lock-up-and-go cottages available

in the R2 million to R3 million

range.

Larger family homes are priced

atR3million andupwards,with su-

per-luxury properties available for

up to R9 million and occasionally

even substantially more. Hankey

says she expects prices to climb in

the new year, due to the high de-

mand/low supply environment.

The areas enduring appeal is

borne out by several examples of

excellent returns on investment

achieved in the past ten years, par-

ticularly for those prepared to

spend time and money improving

older homes.

Aproperty inKloof Street,which

was bought in 2004 for R2,6million,

was renovated and sold in 2007 for

R9,5million.Another home inBird

Street was purchased in 2003 for

R2,5 million, renovated and sold in

2008 for R15 million.

Meanwhile an erf purchased in

1999 for R3,8 million was sold in

2011 for R9 million, and another

bought in 2001 for R28 million was

sold 10 years later forR12,5million.

This prime Somerset West property is up for grabs. The breathtaking view from Worlds View.

RE/MAXprincipalbecomes client

This yearmarks the 40th anniversary of

theRE/MAXbrand,making it thatmuch

more special that RE/MAX Oaktree re-

cently celebrated 14 years of continued

success, says Dot Foster, Broker/Owner

ofRE/MAXOaktree,whoseofficeservic-

es the Stellenbosch area.

Although the property market has expe-

rienced some rather turbulent times since

we first opened our doors,wehavemanaged

to continue to successfully flout industry

norms and come out on top. This year has

been a particularly good year with sales

around 87% higher than they were during

2012. While this is partly due to the fact that

the propertymarket has normalised, it is al-

so largely due to the fact that our office and

the RE/MAX system appeals to successful

agentswho are business-minded and see cli-

entsastheirpriority,saysFoster.TheRE/

MAX brand has become synonymous with

excellent service and we believe the brand,

and our office, have added considerable val-

uetotherealestatemarket inourarea,along

with thebuyers and sellers thatwe service.

AdrianGoslett, CEOofRE/MAXof South-

ernAfrica, congratulatedRE/MAXOaktree

on their achievement by saying: In todays

property market, the real estate offices that

we have are those whoweathered the storm

of the recession because of their profession-

alism and passion for the industry. It is the

calibre of real estate professionals such as

the RE/MAXOaktree office that have made

the RE/MAX brand push forward and suc-

ceed where others have failed.

To celebrate the RE/MAX Oaktree 14th

birthday,Fosterchose tobecomeaRE/MAX

Oaktree client putting her ownhouse on the

market. I lived in the house that my late

husband and I had built for the last 30 years.

It is a small family home that is well-posi-

tioned for schools and family living, she

says. While I had my reservations that the

home may not be easy to sell as it is quite

different to the average home in the area,

I also knew that the positive elements of the

propertysuchas its ideal location, lowmain-

tenance features and its separate flat with

its own entrance and private garden, would

be selling factors.

Foster notes that while it was an emotion-

al timehavingrecently lostherhusbandand

having raised her three children in the

home, she knew that in order to ensure that

the sale happened as quickly as possible and

for the best possible price, she would have

to put into practice all she had learnt from

real estate professionals over the last 14

years.

My office has helped numerous buyers

andsellersthroughthepropertytransaction

process. I know that due to their emotional

attachment to their home, sellers can often

make themistake of overpricing their prop-

erty, which can be detrimental to the sale

of theproperty. That iswhy I allowedmyself

to be led by the good agents in our officewho

know the area and the buyers in the current

market. They were able to assist me in cor-

rectly pricing the home so that it would not

be on the market longer than necessary,

says Foster. When the time came to put the

homeon show, I ensured that both thehouse

and garden were clean, neat and tidy. I also

removed all clutter and personal photo-

graphs so that thepotential buyers could im-

agine themselves in the space. The day it

went onto the market, there were six sets

of clients booked to view the property. The

secondbuyermadeacashofferat full asking

priceand thepropertywas soldon that same

day.

She notes that this experience proves the

importance of correctly pricing a property

and creating a good first impression. It is

alsohighly important that sellersworkwith

a reputable, experienced agent that they

trust, Foster concludes.

most cheerful of all the summer annuals. Re-

lentless in their ability to produce flowers

throughout their life span. A garden is all the

richer for these marvellous plants.

Marigold plants are relatively neat and

make for excellent borders and edging in the

flower bed. That said however, theywork just

as well in a container either on their own or

mixed with other plants. Marigolds are popu-

larly used in the vegetable patch as they deter

nematodes in the soil and flying pests.

When plantingMarigolds, it is advisable to

pinchback the stems.Thiswill allow formore

side branching which in turn will produce a

sturdier plant.

Marigolds do not require particularly fer-

tile soil and in fact if the soil is too nutritious

thiswill encourage foliagegrowthto thedetri-

is not necessary to fertilise Marigolds, but it

Chinas favourite SUVnowinSA

QUICKPIC

The recipient of a number of

awards in itsdomesticmarket, in-

cluding the annual CCTV SUV of

the Year trophy, GWMs H6 has

been a phenomenal sales success

for the brand in China, selling

around 20 000 units per month

regularly. Now South Africans

candiscover its numerous talents

for themselves.

We are very confident that theH6

can be similarly successful in South

Africa, says GWM SA Chairman,

Tony Pinfold. As proven in its do-

mesticmarket,againsttheverysame

rivals it will face here in South Afri-

ca, the H6s allure is not difficult to

grasp; it offers class-leading spa-

ciousness and comfort in a stylish,

upmarket design, along with turbo-

charged power and excellent fuel

economy.

With its smooth contours, chis-

elled flanks and exquisite detailing,

theH6 provides a distinctive and up-

market newalternative in the fierce-

lycontestedcompactSUV/crossover

segment. All South African-specifi-

cation H6 models feature premium

trimand, as such, boast 17-inch alloy

wheels, full colour-coding with

chrome detailing, roof rails, fog

lamps front and rear and privacy

glass.

Under its elegant bodywork theH6

featuresanall-newunibodyplatform

that ensures superb rigidity and low

levels of NVH (noise, vibration and

harshness). Suspension is via

MacPherson struts at the front and

The H6s underpinnings have been

tuned to delivermaximumoccupant

comfort. With a ground clearance of

180mmwhen fully laden, the H6 can

also confidently traverse rougher

roads and thosemiddelmannetjies so

typical of SouthAfrican adventures.

The colourpalette includesTitani-

umWhite, Sky Silver, blue, red, No-

ble Grey and Pearl Black.

The H6 measures 4 640 mm in

lengthandridesona2680 mmwheel-

base.Thesegenerousdimensionsen-

dow the H6 with class-leading spa-

ciousness. In fact, closer inspection

of the H6s measurements reveals

that it fits into a segment between so-

called compact crossovers, as typi-

fied by the Hyundai ix35, Kia

Sportageandothers,andlargeroffer-

ings such as the Hyundai Santa Fe

and Kia Sorento. Price-wise, howev-

er, the more spacious, better-

equipped H6 competes with entry

levelvariantsofcompactcrossovers.

The drivers seat features manual

height adjustment, while the rear

bench boasts a reclining backrest.

The rear seats are split 60:40 and can

tumble forward to transform the al-

ready spacious boot into a truly cav-

ernous utility area. The boot itself

movable) tohelp organise luggage.A

neath the boot floor.

From the drivers seat, the empha-

sis onmaximumergonomic efficien-

cy is obvious. The leather-trimmed

steering wheel is adjustable for both

rake and reach, the facia-mounted

gearlever falls easily to hand and

there are fold-out armrests for both

front seats. The H6s interior is fin-

ished in upmarket black, with satin

silver accents further contributing

tothesophisticatedambience.Leath-

er and soft-touch surfaces also ap-

pear on the doors.

The crowning jewel of the H6s

standard features list is its compre-

hensive info-tainmentsystem.Afull-

mounted in the centre of the facia

within easy reach, and features ra-

dio/CD/DVD/MP3 playback. It is

further supported by a mini-SD slot

(below the screen), andUSBandaux-

iliary ports mounted in the storage

box between the seats. The system

features Bluetooth integration, and

can be remotely controlled via but-

tons mounted on the steering wheel.

When reverse gear is selected, the

screen displays a feed from the rear-

mounted camera, aiding in parking

manoeuvres. An audible warning

systemisalsoactivatedwhenrevers-

ing.

Other standard features include

KiaaddsnewK2500 to the line-up

QUICKPIC

Kias K2700 Light Commercial Vehicle

(LCV) has been well received in the local

market since its launch in September

2001. To date, the K2700 has been one of

KiaMotors SouthAfricas (KMSAs) best

selling vehicles, and remains as popular

as ever.

The success of thismodel lies in its tough-

ness and versatility. The K2700, with its 1.3

ton load capacity, offers a flexible solution

to any business from the largest organiza-

tion to a small business owner, comments

David Sieff, Marketing Director, Kia Motors

South Africa. The current line-up of the

K2700 consists of 3 derivatives: the Work-

horse Tipper, -Dropside and -Chassis Cab.

Thismonth, KMSAwill be adding the new

K2500 to its line-up. This new model will be

available as a Workhorse Dropside and has

aone ton loadingcapacity. It featuresabrand

new turbo charged diesel engine producing

power of 96 kW at 3800 rpm and 255 Nm of

torque between 1500-3500 rpm.Anew6-speed

manual transmission results in smoother

gear changes and improved fuel economy.

Compared to the K2700, the K2500 features

slight cosmetic changes to the exterior, with

a body coloured front bumper as themost no-

ticeable difference. Another key difference

from its K2700 sibling is the fact that the

K2500 is onlyavailable ina single rearwheel.

The K2500s height dimensions is slightly in-

creased compared to the K2700, and features

an extra 20mm of headroom.

On a features level, the K2500 is similarly

specified to the K2700, with the exception of

newly added remote central locking, which
