Can we trust real estate predictions?

Knowing what’s on the horizon is the key to a successful investment, but accurately predicting the future in any industry is a complicated affair. According to Schalk van der Merwe, franchisee for the Rawson Properties Helderberg Group, this is particularly true in real estate – predictions are far from certain and should always be taken in context with their source. “As real estate agents, we often get asked questions like ‘How is the market doing?’, ‘Is now a good time to buy or sell?’ and ‘I read this prediction, what do you think?’,” says van der Merwe. “Depending on the agent, the …

6 Steps to take when a loved one has passed on

It’s human nature not to want to think about death – your own or that of a loved one. But the consequence of not preparing for this inevitable part of life can be devastating for those left behind when a family member passes away. “Very few people have their estate planning in order or the right executor appointed.

An alternative way to ‘finance’ property

Islamic banking offers an alternative to a business or individual looking to buy property, and it is open to anyone to make use of. “Property finance, in the traditional sense, is essentially the granting of a loan to a client for the purchase of a property. This loan needs to be paid back with interest over the term of the loan arrangement. The difference with Islamic property finance is that it is based on a concept called Diminishing Musharaka,” says Amman Muhammad, CEO of FNB Islamic Banking.
