A leader in Cape Town’s luxury estate housing market

If you are planning to relocate to a city with which you are relatively unfamiliar, it is wise to have the assistance of a professional real estate specialist such as the experts at Fine & Country South Africa, who have a thorough knowledge of the respective properties in the geographical areas that they represent.

What’s in a name?

Cape Town is one such highly sought-after area with a multitude of suburbs and residential housing estates. Suburb and estate names can be misleading, especially if you’re entering the high-end property market and you’ve never lived in Cape Town. As always, the golden rule – location, location, location – applies, irrespective of what type of house you intend buying.

Comparative price caution

You cannot let yourself be guided by the asking prices of estate houses to establish whether they’re of acceptable standard in a large city like Cape Town, since property prices there tend to be generally higher than in some other South African coastal cities. Direct price comparisons should be approached with caution and calls for a significant degree of local knowledge.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow’s predicted values

It is essential that you retain the services of someone competent and with local knowledge, to guide you through the process, from knowing where to look for a suitable house, average rates, taxes and levies pertaining to the estate and/or area, plus a history of overall past sale prices, to predicted investment values in the future.

Additional considerations

Other factors that may influence the suitability of your new house and estate location include the home’s proximity to your workplace, good schools and shops, rules and regulations with which residents are expected to comply at the estate, the strength of the estate’s financial management, highway access, traffic patterns, and the lifestyle into which you are buying. 

Fine & Country South Africa’s expert estate agents help ensure that you don’t inadvertently forget about or ignore factors that might cause dissatisfaction at a later stage, when it is too late to reverse or alter your decision.
