New apartments in Pretoria East meet demand for convenience and luxury

New apartments in Pretoria East meet demand for convenience and luxury

We are in one of the best phases for property buyers with the interest rate at a historic low, even if it is raised marginally at the next meeting.

Gerhard van der Linde, managing director for Seeff Pretoria East says that for buyers and investors looking for a brand new apartment in the Pretoria East area, it is an ideal time to invest now.

Seeff is marketing two new developments located in Lynnwood Glen and Lynwood in great locations which offer modern living and security including security parking along with fibre internet, making them ideal for work-from-home.

The units offer the latest designs and finishes and as they are new, you can just move in with no maintenance needed.

A notable benefit of investing in a new development is that you buy at the launch prices and property values usually increase quite rapidly once it is in full occupation. New developments are usually in well-researched locations and generally offer good prospects for rental returns as well, adds Van der Linde.

A notable benefit is that there is no transfer duty payable since you are buying directly from the developer. Developments are also usually bank approved, making it easier to obtain finance, and you only start paying back the mortgage loan once the unit is completed and handed over.
