The universal code for where to buy property, this is and always will be the key to investing and growing a property portfolio.
It goes without saying that Sandton, the richest square mile in Africa, is growing at an incredible rate, the influx of industry has been and will continue to be staggering. As an indication of the growth in just over one year the parking spaces allocated to new industry such as banks, law firms and Discovery add up to almost 8000, each representing a new employee in the area.
The knock-on effect that Sandton’s growth has had on the surrounding suburbs can be seen by the interest both young buyers and investors have in Bryanston and Rivonia. There is a shortage of affordable residential property in Sandton and the natural overflow for young professionals either buying or renting property are the suburbs within a short drive from the Sandton CBD, both Bryanston and Rivonia are sought after affluent suburbs where residential properties can still be bought at a reasonable price. Clearly being close to work is a huge incentive for buyers to invest in properties that offer just that, Johannesburg is itself growing and the highways have become a huge factor when buyers consider the area in which they wish to invest, a simple trip from Bedfordview or Midrand which in the past took minutes now can take hours!
Bryanston and Rivonia offer an array of residential properties, from apartment type living to family cluster homes and traditional free hold houses all within boomed security-controlled areas. The masters of industry, CEO’s and top executives will also find the properties that match their lifestyles in the leafy suburbs of Bryanston and Rivonia.
Bryanston and Rivonia are upper end suburbs, that are steeped in history, from the notorious “Mandela Rivonia trial” to Pieter Jacobus Marais finding gold in Bryanston Extension 7 way back in 1850’s. They offer their residence a huge selection of shopping, sporting activities, restaurants and entertainment. Recently when chatting to a friend a client said, “I haven’t moved to Johannesburg I’ve moved to Bryanston!” this is so true, once you live in the area all your needs will be met, its hardly ever that one has to trek out of one’s comfort zone.
The all-important question simply must be asked, “Who do I talk to when buying, selling or renting in Bryanston or Rivonia?” unsurprisingly the answer is really easy, “Century21”
