Mark Kleynhans, director of Aucor Property, says with three commercial and residential auctions under their belt, the Aucor Property team is settling into the market.
He says based on the positive feedback to date and the number of enquiries from both buyers and sellers in Gauteng and in the Western Cape, they can see that the market has confidence in both selling and buying property using the auction platform and the results that it brings.
“With the current rate cut and the demand for good quality commercial, industrial and retail stock we fully expect to see a turnout of qualified buyers looking for the right properties on the day,” he says.

The Pearl of Hout Bay complex is once again on the market - and ideal for sectional title development, says Tanya Jovanovski, Rawson Auctions franchisee for the Western Cape.
Although this upmarket three level residential/hotel/B&B complex, which consists of 20 sectionalised units (two bedroom luxury furnished apartments) and 22 basement parking bays, failed to attract buyers in the previous auction, the seller is willing to sell and is open to offers via Rawson Auctions.
The reserve price was set at around R27 million and the property did not get bids.
Although this upmarket three level residential/hotel/B&B complex, which consists of 20 sectionalised units (two bedroom luxury furnished apartments) and 22 basement parking bays, failed to attract buyers in the previous auction, the seller is willing to sell and is open to offers via Rawson Auctions.
Jovanovski points out that the sectional title registry for this complex has already been opened – meaning 20 units measuring between 77 and 147 square metres could be sold off individually at prices from R1.2 million to R1.5 million.
The first floor is zoned for commercial – and could be rented out or sold.
“There is a shortage of commercial space in Hout Bay so the take-up would be fast and the centre could also become a frail care facility or old age home.”
She says alternatively, if rented out as a block of furnished apartments, these units could achieve rentals of between R8 000 to R10 000 per month – which would give a very good return for any investor.
On 16 August, Rawson Auctions will auction on site a home in Steinbeck Way, off the prestigious Klaassens Road in Bishopscourt.
The home, although perfectly habitable as it is now, could easily be renovated and thereby have some 35 percent added to its value, says Jovanovski.
She explains that the double storey home is typical of the grand large and imposing mansions found throughout Bishopscourt.
Set on 1 092 square metres erf, it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a formal lounge cum dining room, a TV family room and a large open-plan kitchen with oak cabinetry, an under-counter oven hob and an extractor fan.
The garage can accommodate four cars.
Located at 38 van Eck Street on an erf measuring 2.0556 hectares, it has a total GLA of 11 352 square metres, this property will be auctioned on 14 August.
Jovanovski is expecting bids in the region of R2.5 million and the reserve price has been set at R3 million.
On 15 August, Rawson Auctions will sell a central city studio apartment located in Longmarket Street in Cape Town.
The auction will take place at 12pm at the Rawson Property Group Head Office situated at 222 Main Road in Rondebosch.
Unit 9 at Red Lion building is regarded by many as one of Cape Town’s best examples of a total upgrade to an existing CBD building.
The apartment measures 56 square metres in floor area with a kitchen fitted with all of the most modern appliances (including a washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven and extractor fan).
Jovanovski says the going rate for apartments in this block in recent months has been R900k or more and she expects opening bids to come close to that price because buy-to-let investors know that demand for urban lifestyle CBD apartments in Cape Town is still very strong.
“The last 10 years have seen a huge rise in the call for this type of central city accommodation, as a result, the more recently developed units throughout the CBD are now appreciating in value at 6 to 7 percent per annum,” she says.
The apartment to be sold, although chic and sophisticated, is priced at almost half what is being asked for similar new CBD flats – but provides everything that they do, according to Jovanovski.
