What is helping to fuel the surge is that an increasing number of large private equity funds are scouring SA for opportunities. And the tide of SA investors buying property offshore is about to turn, too...

| >> Property gets tax boost |
|
Classic Business Day asks Angelique de Rauville from Provest Fund Managers about the effect Budget 2006 is having on the property sector, Richard Hirsch from Standard Equities and Derivatives is at the studio LINDSAY WILLIAMS: The Budget is with us for the next twelve months until the next one - has it provided a boost to the property sector? ANGELIQUE DE RAUVILLE: Without a doubt. Certainly the tax-free portion of interest and taxable dividend income increasing for private individuals had a small advantage for the listed property sector, but the big advantage came in the reduction of pension and provident fund tax from 18% to 9%...

| >> The Property Game - Property ownership and property investing |
|
Supplied by Dave Welmans www.thepropertygame.co.za Most middle and upper class South Africans own their own property but this doesn't make them investors. There are fundamental differences between ownership and investing that make investing to ownership as different as music is to martial music. Ownership can be used as a vehicle for this type of investing but merely being an owner doesn't make you a property investor.

| >> Have Fun – How do I deal with water damage |
|
Water. It flows through our homes every day, and we take it for granted as long as it remains safely contained within the pipes. But imagine coming home from work to find that a washing machine hose or an icemaker line has broken loose, or worse yet, returning from a two-week vacation to find that a pipe has frozen and burst in your absence. Now the water we take for granted has become quite a destructive force, insinuating itself everywhere and doing more damage by the minute as it soaks in...
