 Search for a home on any device, any time, anywhere. Private Property, a home for everyone. Hello and good afternoon. Welcome to Winner Home on Afternoon Express, brought to you by Private Property. My name is Danilo Acquisto and it's the weekend. A new week means a new design adventure for our three design duos as they transform three cluster homes at the spectacular Eye of Africa estate in Johannesburg from white boxed spaces into lavish homes, one of which you could win. Hence the name of our show. Can I just say what an exciting journey it's been so far? What was really cool is that last week's bathroom reveal was trending at number one on Twitter for hours after the show, and it's wonderful to see how much you're enjoying watching the homes come to life and also giving your support to your favorite design duos. So please keep that love coming on social media platforms using the hashtag win a home. Now before you reveal which room our design contestants will be tackling next, let's give you a quick recap. Welcome to the show. Last time on Winner Home, the design duos pulled off an amazing feat by designing and decorating both bathrooms in their homes. Although Team House and Leisure were confident in their design choices, we're quite positive that all will go well. The judges questioned the open plan layout of their ensuite. Gives a new meaning to going to the bathroom behind the bush. Don't. In Team VC's bathroom, the judges cosied up and waxed lyrical about their modern luxurious design. But it was Team Habitat's cleverly designed bathrooms that won the judges over and won them the Challenge Plus 3000 Rand added to their budget. We've won. It was... Are you putting in a Steve Harvey an ass? Our time of coming when we will win. No, I'm not jealous. The aim is the bigger price, not 3000 extra water. Right, so let's move on to the next challenge. Team Habitat's win has certainly changed the dynamic of the competition and none of the design duos will be getting too comfortable with their new design task. Going forward into the next challenge, I'll say what doesn't kill you. And it makes sure it makes you stronger. Contestant, it's good to see you again. Is it safe to say that you're all looking a little washed up off your previous challenge? I hope you've learned some valuable lessons because the next room is going to require a mastery of your interior design skills. It's a room in which the owner will spend almost a third of their lives. This room needs to be comfortable, relaxing and invite only the sweetest of dreams. You'll be decorating and designing the master bedroom. Contestants, you have ten days to complete this challenge, go forth and design and remember, don't let those bed bugs bite. I'm not quite sure how I'm feeling about the master bedroom because I'm still recovering from the bathrooms. So, I think the bathrooms took everything out of us. It's a bedroom, so we know how to do that. We've done a bedroom before. But it has to be a master bedroom, so it has to be extra luxurious. We're super excited after winning the bathroom challenge. It's the only natural progression to take it to the master bedroom. The lion's dead. That's right. In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. But these design duos might not get a wink of sleep as they hit the ground running to plan the most important bedroom in the house. At the top of Team VCC's to-do list for the master bedroom is getting advice from their mentor. We're meeting with Annamarie for our mentor meeting and Annamarie has quite a few great ideas for us. Welcome, Annamarie. What do you think? Oh, the lights freak me out like every time. So, we're thinking of having a four-coaster bed in here. Two pedestals, a painting, a wallpaper that's side and nice. Wallpaper? Yeah, nice, chased something. We stuck the thought. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't know about the wallpaper, but I like wallpaper. So, I don't mind. So, the judges' criticism, always criticizes us on the room not balancing. So, we decided to work on a pie chart to break the room so that we can see that each and every space relates to another. And underneath that four-coaster bed, we wanted to have this absolutely stunning carpet. So, we're going to have the delicious velvet carpet. Oh, I love it. We want to make a beautiful statement with the clip. It's a big, bold one. So, we're thinking of a very heavy fabric. Kilometers, eh? Not making few little things on the side. Kilometers, okay? A beautiful velvet fabric. Nice. And we want to go with maybe a bold color because our paint in this room, which is going to be basically a continuation of what is in the bathroom. Great, great. Now, show me your final color. Let's go colors hunting. First hunting. Nittany blue nib. It's not existing. So, look at this. It's wonderful. What is this color called? It's called honey. Let me just tell you something. Those other guys have killed pink and green. So, if you get pink or green, I don't think I'm going to talk to you. But you can choose which one you want of these. No, choose between these two. Take your time and let me know before the end of the day. Perfect. We have to go and order it. Okay, guys, let's just walk out. Let's sneak out because the others make such a show when they leave. Let's just calmly go. You can't just decide. Okay, we're going to have like a brown bed or maybe a brown floor without an explanation. Everything of ours needs to work together. So, that's what we are learning from her. And it's actually an amazing journey. We're at Belgatex. We can't wait to tell our manager... Everyone! Because the last time we saw her, it was literally... It's so hard. It's so hard. We're not winning. Yeah, so now we're winning one. And we're ready to pick our floors for the master bedroom. So, for the master bedroom, I'm thinking carpets. I went lemonade flooring. I don't know who's going to take out that polish. Oh, you? No. Oh, you're going to take out the vacuum cleaner? Miss 50's mouse wife. I might take out both. Your lemonade and the carpets. Have you already decided? We're ready for a manager to tell us how to decide. Basically. Hi, guys. How did it go? What happened with the Bolton Challenge? We won! That was disgusting! We won. You deserve it. I'm so proud of you. You did it. Yeah, it came off guard. Sure. Like we really didn't expect it. It was like... Sure. No, we thought... Get up and get your ass done. We like that. Yeah, it was really nice to win. What do you think the winning four winner was? In your words, I'd definitely say less of Jay. Yeah, we kept it more simple. Like clean line. Yeah, but we still played with... We still kept that bold. Absolutely. There's a zebra crossing. We exactly did that. But, you know, we didn't over embellish afterwards. Yeah. What ideas do you have for the master bedroom? Well, the master bedroom is based around the lion's den. So, we've gone for quite neutral tones. Like we're going to do an all-white story. Yeah. Different shades of white. Yes. We live in the different shades of grey at home. Right. Yeah. With gold. Absolutely. Yeah. So, today we're looking at carpets and flooring for the master bedroom. Yes. And what are your feelings or what does the bear think? So far, I thought we mixed the hard with the soft. Like mixing the laminate flooring with the carpet. Bradley wants to keep it consistent. Yeah. I wanted to keep it... I hate her and said, every room's a different floor. It's like a dance floor. You've got the hip hop, then you've got the jam. I would agree with Bradley wanting to maintain consistency. Okay. I don't think that would mix with carpet. So, we should just stick to the laminate. Correct. Yeah. That's the laminate we had two options. That we were thinking of mixing together. So, we're thinking of going for the Portland Bathswood and the Portland Lawnswood. Because that would be used for the left of the library. And it's worked quite well. Are we going for another win? Once you win, you can't wind back the clock. So, we're going forward. No, we've got that one in streak. Stronger, harder. Yeah. The other two must be scared. Even trying to go far ahead. Team House and Leisure want to reclaim that crown and turn to their mentor for guidance. We're looking forward to meeting up with Tian because we actually really need advice this time around. And he's been very happy with our past ideas. But I feel like this time around we really, really need his advice. Tian, so we've got middle yellow running from the master bedroom to the bathroom. And the judges unfortunately didn't like it. How do you think we should break that up? Well, first of all, I don't agree with the judges because I think that color is beautiful. But considering that maybe it's too much of a pale color throughout the whole room, you can still look at a soft tone. But what about like a soft nude or a blush or a pale pink that kind of has that articulation but offering some interest in the room. So it's not one tone throughout the whole space. Also, we're critiqued for over-accessorizing our bathrooms. So what would be like the best advice in terms of like accessorizing the main bedroom? I think the choices that you guys make are considered and they're beautiful. But maybe instead of volume, consider scale rather. So less stuff but bigger impactful stuff. You usually have a great selection of art. So I wouldn't worry about that too much but I think it's the smallest stuff, the vases, the scatter cushions, the throws. Maybe get more impactful stuff and more graphic stuff for the room. Keep it simple, essentially. Since our dresser is similar to my bedside table, we think of breaking the symmetry by painting the top of the dresser in a different color, which is a charcoal gray. What's your advice on that? So considering that the room is relatively pale, I think you need to introduce maybe a bold pattern. You've got an interesting mix of metals in the bathroom. I saw there was a little bit of rose gold and silver. So maybe even a mixed metal kind of play could be cool. There's a few things that you guys can't compromise on when it comes to a master bedroom. One is good linen, the splurge your budget there and buy the base that you can afford. Be consider storage on either side of the bed and offer the homeowner as many storage solutions as you can cram into that space. I can see that you're tired, so stock up on some great coffee and it's looking great, so good luck. Thank you, Tian. Well, it seems all the duos received sound advice from their mentors and now have to refine their vision for the master bedroom. So after the break, our design duos turned their design ideas into reality. Good reason. Because if it doesn't improve people's lives, it isn't plus gone. Plus gone, designed for life. Come back to a hashtag win a home on afternoon express and I'm loving reading through all the tweets that are coming, streaming in for the show. Keep them coming. Now, our design duos are decorating the master bedroom and we're better to get some design inspiration than at two of the country's biggest and most popular home and decor design showcases, Decorex Joberg and 100% Design South Africa. I'm so excited to be at Decorex. Yeah, 100% design, very excited. It's where we see South Africa's best designers, people that think about Africa and like they start doing things for design, for the love of design. That's where I want to be. Welcome designers. It's so exciting to have you at our Plask on stand today where we featuring our beautiful forecast themes for 2018. Do you have any idea how trends even come about? Well, data is collected from any event that contributes to our ever-changing lives. So, scientific technology, the arts movements and all of this eventually becomes part of what is trending. I love our first theme, exotic euphoria because I'm a lover of green. I love the fact that there is a blur between the artificial and the natural. Also, the phosphorescent colors that we've introduced into this palette are really exciting. Tell me, how do you come up with your color story names like exotic euphoria? It's jungle inspired. So, I think if you look at the jungle and you look at the amazing vegetation, it's quite exotic. And what better person to ask this question, Brad? Because having looked at your work, you use a lot of color and you layer all your effects. And I think even your outfit is the epitome of the theme exotic euphoria. You look like a beautiful exotic snake today. Slipping and sliding. I never saw my part with a snake. But you were wearing it. More like Eve. We were persuaded by the snake. Looking for Adam. Guys, the energy of this stand is much softer, much calmer. The palette is called soft composition and here it's an edited space. So, the design theme is all about no clutter. The retro accents give it a really modern punchy feel and yet the muted colors make it really inviting and warm. There's the color focus and we didn't even know that they do a color focus and it's very exciting to see that there's a neutral of the air that's helped or enjoyed. The neutral of the air is our ideas which was quite interesting because Claire got to give us an insight into the selection process of selecting that color and putting together the color focus as well. High Glow really is one of my favorites because talking to all of you who design this it's all about breaking the rules. It's about being adventurous. It's about pushing the envelope and I love the quirky mix and use of color here. High Glow is about expression whether you're young or old. Craft spirit takes inspiration from global cultures so with the internet and infinite information available it's a mix of items from your travels picking up colors from Instagram and using it all in a beautifully eclectic layered mix. So now you've been privy to our four beautiful palettes of 32 colors. I hope you suitably inspired. She's already owned 2,080. That's our kind of girl! Ahead of the game. So we one step ahead in terms of choosing colors. Hi guys, welcome to 100% Design South Africa and welcome to the Caesar Stone concept stand. This is a furniture collaboration that we took on just like we gave you guys an open brief to use Caesar Stone anywhere you like in the home. That's what we did here. We approached three very influential and forward-thinking designers and asked them to take Caesar Stone and create something beautiful, commercial and just generally a really eye-catching product. I've been following Dr. and Mrs. for a while and it was interesting to actually finally see the people behind the brand and seeing you go. It was a really nice experience. Yeah, we were approached by Caesar Stone to create furniture using their material. It was the first time we used Caesar Stone or stone as a material and we realized it's a heavy material, it's a durable material, it's got a great sort of surface finish and we tried to highlight that in our furniture. We made a dining room table, a coffee table and some lights. And the lights what we try to do is use different materials together. We used glass to make this heavy stone and the idea was to show the fragility of the glass with the solidness of the stone and also this hovering light above the solid structure. That's what we came up with. I don't know if you guys have any questions about the specific pieces. The question is how do you guys get inspired as designers? We're constantly creating stuff and I think that the creating part is what makes us happy and unique. That's not been done before. Either be it aesthetically, be it functionally, be it like a new material, that kind of stuff keeps us inspired. With your fluent use of steel how did you find the shifting material? Yeah, steel comes naturally to us. We've been using it for more than 10 years. This was a bit different. You can't just weld it up and grind it and so on, it's a heavier material. Using new materials create new things and that's the exciting part of it. Also exciting was the chance to design duos to meet their fans. Oh, the fans, the fans! We love them. Without them we are nothing. It's good to be appreciated for your work. I just hope they love our designs. The house and leisure team, I had an absolutely groupie moment there as when you see people on TV in real life it's an absolutely phenomenal feeling. So it's great. What you see on the TV is what you get in person. They are fabulous. They will be absolute energy. So yeah, that is very great. Love meeting the design duos here today. I'm a big fan of the show so seeing them in real life and interacting was really inspirational and just really fun. Who's your favourite design duo so far? Visi, Visi, Visi. I'm like team Unpo all the way. Is it because of what he looks like or is it because of his design? It's because of his design but then what he looks like isn't so bad at all. Ladies love Unpo. So dark and what? No. Give them a look. Give them a look. Look, come on boy. Do it. The design duos are enjoying their taste of fame but really it's you who could be living the good life at the Eye of Africa estate as our grand prize winner with your choice of one of the three homes being designed by our duos. Now besides top notch security one of the other perks of being a resident in the lifestyle estate is easy access to great leisure activities. There are play areas for kids walking and biking trails and a communal swimming pool but there's one activity that's hard to miss because it's the signature of this exquisite village-like estate. The Eye of Africa Golf and Residential Estate offers residents the freedom to go from doorstep to tee-off within a few metres. Something the estate director of Golf knows all too well. Hi and honestly driving around this golf course is so beautiful. What has been your golf journey and getting yourself to this point? It was my love for golf that made me change, you know, do a career change back in 1992. I actually accepted a job in the pro shop at Ranford team but knew that I had some catching up to do and I made it my business to learn everything about the entire business and I've been very fortunate. I mean, the first golf course actually built that I was involved in was in Graceland in Secunda. Coming to Eye of Africa was also a dream for me. I live on the estate, I work on the estate, I don't have to go anywhere. Very blessed. And what makes this golf course itself so unique? Firstly it's a Greg Norman design, signature design and the only of its kind in South Africa. What makes it a little bit unique as well is where you normally have nine holes and you go back to the clubhouse and you have your half way house. This you play out to the furthest point on the golf course, have your half way there and play back to the clubhouse again. The nice thing about this golf course it's very challenging. It challenges every shot but it's also player friendly. Now listen, every golfers looking for something unique about the golf courses that they play on. I mean, what are some of your personal favourite spots on this course? Once you start getting to number 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 that stretch is beautiful because it's a little bit higher up and you see just everywhere around you. One lucky viewer gets to win a home on this incredible estate. What happens if they don't play golf or would like to start? We have a fully stocked pro shop. We have teaching professionals. We have a driving range, chip and putt course. All the facilities are there. If they want to get into it, we get to help them and we can certainly teach them to play golf. Well to be honest, I'm one of those people. I've played in like two rounds of golf in my life. Do you think you've got somebody who can help me? What you need to do right now is meet Ryan Kimber. He's one of our teaching professionals and he can show you the ropes. He's a very likable young man and he certainly will get some very, very good tips from him. Let's go. How's it going? Very good. Nice to see you. Listen, I honestly find golf one of the most intimidating sports. Why do you think it is like that and how do we break those boundaries down? I think it's just quite a hard sport to do to hit the small ball with a club that's only the size, which is not the easiest thing and people tend to think too much into it. The swing, everyone gets technical so it just becomes a mind game really. What is the appeal of golf and why did you choose to play the game? It's a fun sport. You can play with a lot of guys at one time which is quite nice. The competition is there but it's nice to just get outdoors for a bit in a weekend, spend some time with friends, have some beers afterwards. It's just generally quite a fun day out. Where do we start with the swing, right? Yes. Have a practice swing then. Let's see what you've got. The nerves! Can we go for the ball? Yes, take it away. Mama, I made it! Now this better work out. This is for TV. Awkward. I think you can see that. Can you set up again there? She's got quite a strong grip there. You want to actually just loosen it. This thumb at the back there you want to put down the shaft. This thumb can actually go a little bit slightly over there. So that's what we call a neutral grip. It should keep everything a lot tighter. It should be a bit better. You can give it another swing there and see how it feels. There we go. Oh my word. That wasn't too bad. Good shot. Thank you. Pleasure. Right, let's keep going. The PAR 72 championship course spans over 6,895 metres and the design endeavoured to integrate the course seamlessly with its stunning natural surrounds. That was fun so far. I didn't come in on par at all. I'll come to more lessons. Don't worry. I'll tell you what. If I sink this putt, you buy me pizza. If I miss this putt, I'll buy you pizza. Deal. Let's do it. Oh no. You hit the line right. I'll buy pizza. I'll buy pizza. Vmiters will accept defeat with a treat at their state's restaurant. There it is. Thank you very much. Thanks. So Ryan, a deal's a deal. The pizza's yours. Thanks for the lessons today. I'll come for more. Definitely need them. And if you're our grand prize winner, this could be your brand new hobby.

Now, to add bespoke character to their master bedrooms, the design duos can collaborate with creatives or artisans from various different spheres. Teamhouse and Leisure have sought the expertise of a man who knows all about heavy metal. Joe Burgbase, furniture designer and fabricator, Joe Payne, is renowned for his inventive, original and practical products. We think his style is very simple, minimal and contemporary and I think it complements our style. We've decided to get the self-help side table because we all need help. Yay, our self-help side table is ready. Thank you so much, Joe. Are you happy? Yes. Now, final touch. We just need to add our Caesarstone and then we're good to go. I think it'll look great. Thank you so much, Joe. But the way to call the self-help side table, basically it came from a desire to need for a side table to hide all the odds and ends that are quite embarrassing, such as your self-help books. That's cool. I think it's much more different from having a traditional Joe. It's going to look great with your Black Sea is so tough. I think it's sort of amazing. Joe, we noticed this trace here. Is it possible to recycle them into mirrors? Oh, these are quite cool and I'd love to have the same one on my side of the bed and have a Caesarstone in it so that it complements that. Using Caesarstone on the tray as well as the table will be wonderful because it'll create almost like a family of products. Joe, so we're thinking of having mirrors here as well. Do you have any other finishes for mirrors? Yes, absolutely. There are three main ones. That's the clear, the gray and the bronze. And are they the same price? They are semi-affordable, yes, depending on your finish on the edge. So you can either aeroset, which is cheap, you can polish it, which gets a little bit more expensive. And the one thing I want to find out is do you think it'll look like it'll look proper if we mix the different colors of mirrors and all? It'll add some variation. You're already using your color as in your white and your black. I think you can use the gray and the bronze quite effectively. The mixture of up is up to you guys though. Oh yeah, because that's something like I've never seen being done. Neither have I really, but I think it's your responsibility to push the boundaries just a little bit and to push you to meet luck with that. Thank you so much Joe and for helping us from the beginning till now. Only a pleasure. Yes. Have fun. So which mirrors do you think you should use? I want the bronze. I want the gray. Then why did you ask me? Because I don't even have all of them. You're really loving like the kind of products he offers. And he accommodates our time pressure. He's just on his head. He's like, take your time. Which nobody ever like has time for because it's like all our collaborators are always pulling out, but then with him he's always consistent. Mirror, mirror on the table. Who's going to win the bedroom challenge? Team House and Leisure. We finally get to get around mirror. Team Heavy Ted. B1 to be coming back for our crown. It's going to work. Yes. For their creative collaboration Team VCR having custom bedside tables made by furniture designer Paul Vacchia. All right. So guys, I am so happy that you guys were inspired to make a server. Based on our initial drawings, I have like a 3D that we can run through with some materials that I applied. So this is basically the idea that we had. It's a bit longer, which I love. I love the fact that you have like a nice long bedside table. I have a range of timbers that I was thinking and I was actually thinking that we should use the key art, especially because we use it with the tending and it works so incredibly well. And I love how it picks up on the guys' cherries. And I think we have all of our colours in here. So look at the white, the key art and also the top of the stuff. Exactly. So are you guys going to, are we going to use the same patterns as the tandoor? Are we going to do something different? So I quite like this pattern. But I think I'd want it maybe mirrored and slightly longer lengthened just so that it actually draws the eye and your attention towards this big bed that we have. We have a big four-poster bed in the centre so I think that would work. Yeah, I agree. And I think it's an interesting play on form. And we also wanted maybe to be a little bit more flush because I see here it's slightly rain. Yes, yes. So maybe we should have it flush. I'm not sure how to do that. Because of the types of timbers that we're working with and the thicknesses we could run into technical problems. So we will have a relief effect. I just don't know how much. I like the fact that it's like I want to have those different patterns. Like I want you to maybe when you're looking at the product itself like maybe try and feel it and touch it so that you fold the different bumps and also to break away from the white. Yeah. So these cutouts I've seen the Tandeka that they're empty and I don't know if you want to have in-your-bedside tables something you can see through. So I think maybe what do you think should we cover like private things in my bedside table looks like something exploded in it. So I think it would be much better to have them closed off and we can use the key art as a relief and do the same kind of relief idea that we're using for the main design and we can use that here. So I think it's going to look great like that. I love the idea. We love the idea. Okay so Pepe who want to leave these phones with you so that you can work your magic. Yes I'm going to try and work my magic very similar to Asim that they also take from the African culture and so with that what we hope to achieve is that there's a full unblend of our love for African things and pause take on the African aesthetic and it all just blends together to make a contemporary yet African piece. Team Avatar's master bedroom needs to roar with luxury so they've got reams of fabric to turn into bedding and cocoa. Hello. She's Bungile. How are you? How are you? Nice to see you. Sure.

will be of great interest to you welcome to our loft Good afternoon Dan So Michelle let's talk about what your company does because numbers seem to be the most important thing when it comes looking at buying So what TPN does is we are credit bureau and we collect rental data on tenants around South Africa and the idea is to understand where people rent how much they rent for and most importantly how they're paying their rent on a monthly basis coupled with that rental data we overlay the and determine the gross yield on a per property basis So if I rub the genie's lamp I can get all this information out which will help me make a wise decision when it comes to buying to let So what is your data showing where are people buying where are people renting where should we buy and where should we rent So there's different things that a landlord or an investor is going to sell my delinquency ratios my vacancy ratios and and how much rent I'm actually able to achieve We look at that and we say, well what are the different areas performing I can tell you down in the western Cape it's one of our best performing areas in terms of rent collection so our tenants paying credibly well done in the western Cape but as we know properties are the premium and so our yields are not nearly as high in the western Cape as they are in say Johannesburg my best gross yields but unfortunately my tenants are a little bit more challenging to collect rent from and so I might have a little bit more of a delinquency rate Okay You mentioned delinquency sorry to interrupt you there but a delinquency itself is that basically a tenant who doesn't pay on time or doesn't pay at all Correct So we look at the data as a good standing tenant as a tenant who's paid on time paid late either in the grace or later in the month but by the end of the month he's paid up our delinquency is then our tenants who either party No we don't and nationally we have about 6% of tenants who are on the delinquency not payment Just quite a lot Just quite a lot Or you could go to below 3,000 main rentals and there your tenants are 13% in the did not pay category Pay or rent people pay it otherwise we obviously the landlords guys are making these investments don't get to make their money back what about estates I mean where are estates on your map at the moment are estates a good place to invest So estates are a fantastic place to rate in terms of location location location typically what you're buying into lifestyle estates and a buyer to rent even a buyer to invest is not a short term decision it's a long term decision and so over a 10 or 15 or 20 year period one expects there to be a change in the cycle and for capital appreciation to start delivering in our estate market Estates are a good place to start looking into but in terms of the rules and responsibilities you're kind of liable as the owner of the property if your tenant starts to behave terribly on the estates also play loud music you're quite responsible as the owner so first of all how do we go about choosing the right tenants to put into an estate house that we're renting out so tenant selection is one of your key critical areas in terms of replacements what you want to look at there is their previous rental experience how they've paid their rent their previous credit behaviour can we ask for that information absolutely we need the consent of the tenant so effectively what the investor or the agent on their behalf does ask for consent so the tenant that we're placing has the right history and therefore is going to be a good tenant going forward so one of the key elements of your lease is signing a lease agreement at the beginning of the lease and making the rules of the lease the homeowner's rules materially part of that lease agreement so an action to the actual lease agreement that's important because if your tenant is non-compliant in terms of those rules the investor can pass their fine on to the tenant in terms of any fines that he might have received if the tenant is breaching the rules in such a way that it's a material breach of the lease agreement the landlord can then start the process of evicting the tenant and it's the same process in terms of whether the material breach is non-compliance of rules versus non-payments the challenge with the lease agreement is it can be either verbal or written so simply how can she attach rules to a verbal lease agreement but the rental housing act has got some amendments play potentially that means that the lease will have to be in writing and it's a good idea then to annex those body-corp rules or homeowners' rules as part of that lease agreement. So there you guys have it renting out a property on an estate can be a very good investment but with most rental investments conducting research beforehand and screening your tenant thoroughly is absolutely needed so if you have a petition on private property to stand a chance to win a multi-million rent home on the Eye of Africa estate all you have to do is log on to privateproperty.co.za and answer that very simple question and then vote for your favourite designed duo after the break on the show today I check in to see how the master bedrooms are progressing at the halfway mark because if it doesn't improve people's lives it isn't plus gone plus gone designed for life you're back with us actively on SABC3 now as the master bedroom design process continues we naturally get a little curious to see what that end result might look like so yours truly did a little detective work for you creating a space full of the sophistication of the savannah team habitat's master bedroom incorporates modern elements of design with a taste for the wild team habitat with a lion's den theme for their master bedroom let's see how it's doing at halfway brad in a beer team habitat oh so just you guys where are they sorry Janilo but we were not in a position to host visitors not yet not yet not by a long shot well they're not here at the halfway mark which isn't great because I wanted them to describe what's going on but I'll give you a sneak peek in the meantime anyway from what I can see the game of thrones themes of wallpaper has been installed here which I think is quite busy but it's looking nice paint is going on so let's hope team habitat are continuing their shopping speed to bring in that eccentric style for that master bedroom for team house and leisure the first big task that needed completing was installing their carpet to add more softness to the space it is the very same carpet we have in our spare bedroom the idea is to keep the curtains the same since the spare bedroom is the dressing room for the main what's special about our carpet is that it actually has got under felt and when you step on it it literally just falls like luxury in team VC's master bedroom workers progress really well and Empor is already hanging up the curtains so he and Lessejo can assess the room you're putting up the curtains because we want to see the height it can mess us up we don't want long curtains yeah we don't want house and leisure situation so we just want the curtains to look perfect Tendilo this is our master bedroom as it stands right now we love our bed it's beautiful it's exactly what we wanted yeah however we feel like the wallpaper and the curtains are not gonna work considering all the other stuff that needs to come in here it's gonna be too busy but it's actually nice so we're not sure if we're gonna keep it or take it out so I don't know if maybe you can give us your suggestion you're thinking maybe we can try and break it out with picture frames well what they explore or anything but I'll take a look so what do you think you see the black one's quite nice with the frame because it really accentuates the gray on the wall and it pops it stands out but I'm not too sure about the white what it kind of blends into nothingness but that kind of might be what you guys are looking for you wanted to more color so we're gonna have white linen and we're gonna have like a green throne and two orange cushions so it's either we take the wallpaper out or the kittens and we kind of take the kittens out we love the kittens we love the kittens more than we love the wallpaper yeah alright so as I only know how to do in puns I'm gonna leave you to it alright good luck to both of you thank you so much Daniel thank you back in the lions den one not two but three chandeliers like the way towards the rooms completion love me some lighting I love me some lighting I was very nervous about the chandeliers especially three between the wind up it was yes yes yes and yes while the ceiling sparkles the floor is comfortable underfoot with bulgur tex laminate in a herringbone pattern over in team house and Leisure's master let's see what team house and Leisure have planned at the halfway mark of their master bedroom oh and it seems like there's just half a team here you just house or your Leisure which one Leisure Leisure where's house house is on his way here right you look like the thinker what are you basically concentrating over there I'm a bit worried about the paint being done on time cause usually at this point we way past the painting phase so now I have to sit here and make sure it's done but there really was a layer of paint extended from the bathroom into your master bedroom so you changed your minds on that we are changing because when the judges came the previous round they didn't quite vibe with the yellow so we're thinking of like muting the color bed so we're just gonna keep it in the bathroom and this side a much muted color great so what's the least to be done I mean you mentioned worrying about being done on time what's the least to happen in here luckily this time around there's not a lot of fixtures it's just like hanging of our cat in rail and for the bed our bed is actually here it's in the garage and it's not even yet assembled so we're waiting for this to be done because it needs to be assembled in here and then we're going with very luxurious bedding this time around of course every master bedroom needs a super luxurious comfortable bed for a good night's sleep and what better choice is there than Sealy postipedic when that Sealy mattress arrived it's you just the king's vibe and how can the business not drive the king's eyes and it's thick huge I mean like a devil Mac meal it was a healthy mattress with the progress we've seen at the halfway mark it's anybody's guess who will come out on top will Team Habitat make their dream of winning another challenge come true can Team VC balance visual impact and restful serenity to pull together design that's a master stroke all will Team House and Leisure be masters of the bedroom and win a challenge once more let us know
