Unlocking opportunities: how shared property models are transforming South Africa's real estate landscape
A shared property deal by two couples has landed them this deluxe Camps Bay property, which they will use as a holiday home. Image: Supplied / Law Real Estate More and more people are turning to shared property models that are unlocking new opportunities for South Africans to get into the property market, secure decent accommodation or even make a dream lifestyle become a reality. In the ever-evolving residential property market, agents are witnessing an upswing in deals being penned between friends, relatives or fellow investors that open doors to property investment and long-term asset growth. It also opens doors to those wanting to improve their lifestyle by co-leasing properties they would otherwise not be able to afford on their own - a scenario that affects virtually everyone. Whether it's friends renting together, siblings buying an investment property or digital nomads sharing space, shared property deals in urban settings have increased in popularity over the years. Lifestyle investing "Independent Media Property" spoke to Warrick Wiegand of Law Real Estate, who shared that he's just concluded a sale involving two Durban couples who've pooled their financial resources to buy a luxury home in Camps Bay in Cape Town for R27.5 million. "They plan on using it as a holiday home, with days marked off for each family in the course of the year. For the rest of the year, it will be let out as Airbnb, with both families splitting these costs and incomes," he said. The five-bedroomed home has sweeping views of the Atlantic and Lion's Head. Image: Supplied / Law Ral Estate Changing lifestyles, pressures on households to make ends meet, and the prospect of becoming a property owner have all contributed to increased demand for shared property models, says Grant Smee, CEO of Only Realty Property Group. He believes this new trend is set to shape the future of real estate. 'Ultimately, these shared models allow more people to participate in the property market, but they must be approached with proper planning, transparency and legal safeguards to protect all parties involved.' He says the trend cuts across all age groups, from young professionals to seasoned investors. Co-investing Two such young investors are Rowan Chetty and his twin brother, Ricky*, 27, who made the bold move at the beginning of the year to invest together while they were still relatively young. Born and raised in Verulam on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast, they'd both moved to Johannesburg, where they work in IT. "We decided one day to invest together after a discussion about how going solo is more difficult and challenging. We then chatted to a few experts and decided that a joint investment was more feasible. "We got a joint bond for an apartment in Greenstone, which is made up of young, dynamic people breaking into the corporate world, with property prices going up in the area," Chetty said, adding that they live there and have friends and family living in the suburb. They have a paying tenant with a lease agreement that suits both parties. Before taking the plunge to rent a luxury home together, experts suggest a few key steps that need to be followed. Image: Pexels Co-investing allows buyers to share the capital and returns of property ownership, with collective buying in South Africa allowing for up to 12 applicants on a single home loan by some financial institutions. Mfundo Mabaso, FNB product head of Home and Structured Lending, said this solution is designed to help South Africans enter the property market and gain both affordability and access to larger home loans on more flexible terms by enabling them to combine incomes and deposits. 'FNB's Collective Buying is a home loan solution that enables up to 12 individuals to jointly apply for a single bond. "This way of investing in property comes with some benefits that a group of individuals can enjoy. Whether they are first-time buyers who want to occupy the property or buy as an investment, this home loan solution caters to those needs. "Strategically, this solution responds to a few important realities: property prices in South Africa continue to outpace income growth for many first-time buyers, and younger or lower-income customers are increasingly looking for collaborative and innovative ways to build wealth. FNB's Collective Buying allows families, friends, or even trusted groups of investors to not only share repayments and risks, but to co-create long-term asset value," he said. Co-leasing Tristen Henning, 28, who works in property management, says his decision to cohabit with a friend has given him access to a spacious three-bedroomed apartment in Blaauwbergstrand, Cape Town, which he would otherwise not be able to afford. "The co-habiting format makes renting a place more realistic for people my age, and with the job market being what it is, it just makes a lot of sense," he said. Smee says that in the rental space, there are a number of important legal requirements and risks that need to be thoroughly understood and pinned down before pals put pen to paper. First off, you need a rental agreement in which two or more individuals sign the same lease and share equal legal responsibility for the entire property. This type of arrangement is commonly used by roommates, friends, couples or business partners sharing a commercial space. If the landlord wants a lease with one primary leaseholder, all parties involved should sign a separate agreement that outlines each person's responsibilities. "These contracts can typically be drawn up on your own or with the help of a professional, both of which are legally binding once signed,' Smee said. He notes that in a case where two or more tenants sign a lease jointly, they are typically held jointly and severally liable. 'This means either tenant can be held responsible for the full rental amount or any damage to the property, regardless of who caused it. If one of the tenants chooses to move out over the period of the lease agreement, then a new contract will need to be drawn up.' He suggests that co-leasing tenants enter a sub-agreement that includes the following: Financial obligations and how payments are split. Responsibility for deposits and damages. Process for early termination. Replacement of departing tenants. 'Early termination is a common source of conflict, so it's vital to include clear terms,' says Smee. 'Treat this like a business agreement, even among family or friends and ensure responsibilities around deposits and replacement tenants are clearly outlined.'

8 things South Africans secretly miss from the '90s
A lot has changed in three decades, and there are things, moments and adventures that South Africans secretly miss about the '90s. It doesn't really feel like almost 30 years ago, but the 90s are long gone. But not the memories and the 'remember when' or 'it used to taste delicious' nostalgic comments at braais and dinner parties. A lot has changed in three decades, and there are things, moments and adventures that South Africans secretly miss about the '90s. That in-between decade on the brink of a new century and, on the back of the 80s' craziness. Snacks we miss Front and centre on that list is O'Gradys thick cut chips in baked cheese and also sour cream and chives flavours. It was the one chip that guaranteed lots of flavour. Tempo chocolate bars, Chocolate Logs, Tutti Frutti sweets and sherbet, lots of it. Mall-ratting It used to be much, much safer to go out at night in the 90s. Teenage dreams of going it alone, hanging out in malls, going to the movies and having your first kiss behind the fire escape. Holding hands in the cinema. Chilling with friends. These days, it's all online and jolling is limited to whatever's considered safe enough. K-TV on Saturday mornings Waking up early on weekends was important because K-TV hit our screens as the sun came up. It was cartoon time, Candice Hildebrand time and the kind of screen time that had a beginning and an end, before we headed outside to continue playing, inspired for the day. Advertising was actually good Sun City's glam, Lunch Bar's Much Much More and 'It's not inside, it's on top' along with Volkswagen's epic commercials were actually enjoyable, creative and many phrases became part of our local slang. Not anymore. Advertising as we knew it is dead and buried, and while the creatives still ponytail about, we'd rather avoid the ads. ALSO READ: Joyspan: The one life measure that really matters Kwaito was born It's music that defined a generation. In the 90s, Boom Shaka was it, man. There was kwaito in taxis, malls, weddings and anywhere a boombox was present. In between, don't forget Mma Brr, Brenda Fassie, the queen of South African pop. Retail therapy was real We had department stores like John Orrs, Stuttafords and Garlicks where you could browse for hours. They had coffee shops inside, and it made shopping romantic. There were the grocery store commercial wars between Checkers' Clive Weil ads and OK's Gordon Hood. Who can ever forget the phrase 'trolley for trolley'. It ended when the 90s died. This was a VHS recorder and player from the 90s. Picture: iStock. Videos Before DVDs, we had VHS tapes and video stores where you could rent movies. It was a vibe and a half in the '90s. Weekend nights were spent browsing at the local video shop, walking out with a single flick and heading home to watch with popcorn. You had to remember to rewind the tape, return the movie on time and most of all, hope that your player didn't swallow the cassette. Slang and local talk — words that felt especially 90s ('jol', 'lekker', 'howzit', 'eish'). Threads (and explainer posts) about South African English and township slang show how these expressions tied people together in the 90s and are still fondly repeated. Guides and lists explain origins and examples. Soft rebellion The 90s were the era of grunge, soft rebellion and self-identity. Nirvana, Alice In Chains. Seattle rock. On the other side, it was rave culture. MDMA joined the narcotic circuit. Chokers, slip dresses and tees under sundresses were fashion's hottest tickets, and DJs became as famous as real musicians.

Next Stay Close ✕ The first episodes showcased renowned local singer Jarrad Ricketts viewing a sensational Camps Bay villa for his family vacation. This multi-story property in one of the Mother City's most exclusive suburbs featured uninterrupted views from all angles of the house, leaving the entertainer insisting that his wife will come around to the whopping R50 000 per night price tag. Meanwhile, fans of the show have also been able to enjoy glimpses of an impeccably designed Bishop's Court modern farmhouse as well as a mindblowing penthouse, which seeks to be the best of its kind on the African continent and was built to resemble a yacht, in the new season. Its latest offering has also seen the introduction of new agents, which include Wendy Khumalo, Neteske Gavin, Romy-Leé Ferreira and Dael Dyer. They join familiar favourites such as Byron Louw, Kim Tresfon and Jonathan Tannous return to the show, promising a diverse mix of personalities and strategies that could either charm or clash throughout the season. Meanwhile, one of the most notable comments shared by many of the agents on the series was just how high the demand for property is in the city. Property director Warrick Wiegand, who makes an appearance on the show, believes that: 'The reason why the Cape Town property market is so alluring is because everybody has started to realise just what a world-class city on any scale Cape Town is. 'The demand has got to a point where it far surpasses the supply. From an international standpoint, Cape Town is exceptionally underpriced and undervalued and still has much more room for growth.' Meanwhile, Louw, a popular figure who has appeared on previous seasons, shared similar sentiments. 'I think it is a cosmopolitan mix of things that keeps Cape Town as a top contender, such as the favourable exchange rate, steady foreign investment and local attractions matching world-class standards.' As more episodes of the new season of 'Listing Cape Town' drop weekly, Louw is thrilled for viewers to witness what the series still has in store for them. 'Besides all the gorgeous views and the luxury living, I am personally very excited for viewers to see a younger set of buyers breaking into the property market and forging their unique path.'

Image: Instagram Louw elaborated that some of the other season highlights will be scouting for a client in Brazil and flying over to Rio De Janeiro to seal the deal. Wiegand added: 'We featured the world-famous, one and only Stefan Antoni in our iconic Camps Bay listing that he designed.' He said that the acclaimed architect also details his insightful thoughts on the home from an architectural point of view. The property director also promised viewers that the latest installment will include: 'New agents, bigger negotiations, better properties and an all-round must add to your weekly calendar overall.' Meanwhile, Louw believes that the high-end real estate agents on the show are what makes it so popular. 'In my opinion, the show remains a hit because of the diverse set of agents, all at the top of their game, who bring their own unique approach to deal-making.' On what he thinks will surprise viewers the most about the new season, Louw said: 'We were able to top property prices and still have them selling so swiftly. Just when you think Cape Town has plateaued, the market will surprise you.' ∎ Watch new episodes of 'Listing Cape Town' season 3 on Wednesday at 8pm on BBC Lifestyle (DStv channel 174).
