Welcome to the May 2011 Pam Golding Property Group Newsletter


Dr Andrew Golding,
Chief Executive
Pam Golding Property Group
In a world where global events continue to take unexpected twists and turns, the relative stability of the bricks and mortar asset class of property as a sound medium to long term investment strategy is becoming ever more apparent.

Curiously, residential property has seldom been considered historically as an asset class in its own right but recent volatility in other asset classes has again highlighted residential property potential as an alternative and indeed premier asset class. A recent manifestation of this was the inclusion in the UK of residential property in the IPD all property index.

Indicative of the sound investment potential of residential property is the sustained demand for upmarket lifestyle estates, which has remained constant even through the recessionary period.

Offering a highly appealing way of life, coupled with attractive return on investment, luxury residential estates are consistently popular among a broad cross-section of home buyers.
 
 
 
 

A fine example of this is Kingswood Golf Estate in George, where sales are on the increase to both local and international buyers for permanent residence and leisure use, as well as for investment.

Some areas continue to buck the somewhat slow recovery being experienced elsewhere. In the Cape Town area we see steady growth in property sales with marked improvement in the sectional title market.

The popular university town of Grahamstown
is another area experiencing ongoing demand for homes, including investment properties for the buy-to-let market.
