 Well, if you're looking to buy a house and thinking about the neighbourhood, specifically look no further. We're going to give you that advice this morning. Now, Private Property has recently launched an exciting campaign called Neighbourhoods, where you buy logging onto their website and get to explore the different neighbourhoods in South Africa to help you decide which one will suit you. And also, your needs, of course, for the best. Now, our property expert, Simon Bray, Private Property CEO, is here this morning to discuss another neighbourhood, the Western Seaboard. My neighbourhood, Simon. Welcome to the show, man. Nice to have you. Thanks, Ian. Good to be back. Look, man, we're talking about the Western Seaboard. Very excited. I've been living there for a couple of years now. But from a property expert point of view, what makes this kind of neighbourhood so attractive? I mean, I know from the get-go, you know, we've got the sea, the beach. It's right there. No, of course. I mean, it's the perfect beach lifestyle. But if you've been living there for two years, then perhaps you should be the expert on the Western Seaboard. You know, the lifestyle's great. You know, you've got the beach, you've got the scenery. There's always an epic view of Table Mountain, so you just get this feel of Cape Town, but from a different angle. There's a lot of other things driving the lifestyle in that area. Great shopping centres, great schools. There's a good sense of community out there, which I think is what drives a lot of people towards that area. And, I mean, if you go down there on a windy day and you see those kites across the beach, I mean, it's really beautiful. These beautiful coloured kites. And I don't think people realise that it's one of the premier kite surfing beaches anywhere in the world. It's one of the best places in the world, coming into that environment and experiencing what that natural beach has got to offer. Look, I won't lie that I didn't have my fair chef trying to take a kite surfing, but I will leave that story for another day. Listen, let's talk some property now for a moment here. Sure. What does this area offer? I think the Cape Town market has been a great growth story for South African property prices nationally. So a lot of people moving into Cape Town from other regions in South Africa and from around the world. And that has pushed the property values up across the Cape Town region. And I think the great story about Western seaboard is it hasn't really affected that environment yet. It's still great value property, affordability and convenience. So kind of the words when you think about Table View, Blohberg, Milnerton, those areas. And I think for first-time buyers, for South African local residents, for middle-income families, it's really important to have that value option and as close to Cape Town as it is. So you can live and work in those areas without compromising on your lifestyle. And I think that's what's driving the property market on Western seaboard. Absolutely. I think it's also a great way, you know, for especially a family just starting out, you know, if wanting to get into the property market. But what about those investors maybe looking to buy property to obviously rent out? Is it a good area to look at? Well, as I mentioned, you know, a lot of focuses on areas like Atlantic seaboard. And then the idea is that you're going to get great capital growth. And that's true, but it just depends on what baseline you start. So an apartment here in Atlantic seaboard is going to set you back between two and three million. You can buy a three-bedroom house for that across the across the way in Blohberg. So it's it's really a good value option for investors to look at. And I think what's great is when you look at that, it all becomes about rental yield, right? So in investment in that area, you're buying a three bedroom sectional title units at one and a half, 1.8, your bond repayments on that are just over 16 grand a month. And the average rentals in the area going between 17 and 18 grand a month. So there's great opportunity to pay the initial costs from day one. So as an investment market, it's particularly attractive. It's all in all, you know, I think a great area to invest in. But of course, you want to be comfortable if you're going to be living on that side. Talking about the kind of people that you will find in the, you know, specifically the Western seaboard side, the people obviously buying there, needing to commute to town. I mean, what are the type of people that we are looking at? When we chose to profile the Western seaboard on the site, we obviously picked the stereotypical kind of resident and we've got this great guy that runs a kite surfing shop on the Western seaboard. And he lives and works in the area. But your typical resident in those areas actually travels and commutes to Cape Town CBD every day. And that's a great element of living there is the access to the CBD is only 15 Ks away. You've got the bus routes that run as well. So a lot of the people that choose to live out there are people that live and work in Cape Town, but want the feeling of space and value that they get out there. Well, you've definitely done your research correctly because you've summed me up pretty well. Thank you very much. Simon, just lastly, your tip of the day when it comes to looking at that as a neighborhood. Yeah, I mean, if you're in the Cape Town region and you're looking for a good value opportunity and a great investment potential, then you should definitely consider the Western seaboard and the suburbs that surround that area. All right, perfect. Simon, thank you so much, man, educating us on the Western seaboard this morning.
