On the 5th April 2014, Rand Leases Securitisation, with Rand Leases Properties undertaking the development and Kairos Holdings as their marketing company, will be launching a new 67 unit sectional title development in Albertsdal, Alberton.

The development, which will be known as Tinderwood, will be the first phase in an overall development of fourteen phases called Silver Leaf Estate, which will eventually have a total of 981 homes.
Each of the fourteen sub-developments will have their own names, perimeter fencing and access controlled gates and will, therefore, benefit from ‘double security’ once the scheme is complete and the main gate security and full walling is put in place.
The developers say once they have reached 70 percent sell out on the project, a boom controlled security entrance for the entire complex could potentially be negotiated with the local municipality.
This is according to Gavin Vickers of Kairos Holdings, who says the units in Silver Leaf Estate will be a mix of single and double storey homes, and apartments in double and triple storey walk-ups. This configuration of the units has been done in such a way as to maximise on space usage in the complex and to create as much green communal space as possible. Furthermore, he says, each phase will have its own swimming pool and clubhouse, which will add to the appeal of living here.
There are six different unit types and they range from 40 square metres to 80 square metres. The prices range from R399 000 to R799 000, including VAT and all transaction costs.
Finishes in the units include tiled floors with carpeting as an optional extra and full kitchens will be installed. There is ample parking space and each unit is allocated at least one carport bay.
This area, alongside Brackendown and Brackenhurst, with quick access to the Sybrand van Niekerk Highway, is central and has a number of good schools nearby, as well as various large retail centres, says Vickers.
“We foresee a high demand for three bedroom, two bathroom units, as those are usually what families look for,” he says, “with possibly most of those buying in here being teachers, nurses, young professionals, police and a wide range of potential employees from Edcon and SARS.
“The greater Tinderwood scheme is designed in such a way, with a mix of properties, that it has an aspirational element to it,” he says. “We envisage that those who buy the smaller one or two bedroom units, when they are ready, will sell and buy larger units within the same estate and not go anywhere else.”
Vickers says this is also a good investment proposition for buy-to-let investors, as rentals in this area are on average R4 800 to R5 000 for two bedroom units and R6 500 to R8 000 for three bedroom units, which means that the investor will find that he or she is likely to cover his or her bond from day one. The capital return on any unit in this development would be around 10 percent per annum.
“The ability to manage sales transactions via SIMS (Sales Information Management System) and using a dedicated bond originator, E-Homeloans, means our plan to keep to a 30 month cycle for each phase is achievable,” says Vickers. “We hope to stick to a maximum time frame of two and half years for the sell-out of each phase up to transferring out to the owners.”
