"DOWNSCALING DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN DOWNGRADING!"
One of the biggest challenges in Durbanville and surrounds is finding a suitable retirement option...
If, and when clients do manage to find something available, it's often out of their budget range, sold too quickly, or insufficient for their needs.
In an attempt to help our clients consider the options on the table, Pieter de Swardt & Liezel Traut compiled a list of 34 different retirement options in the Northern Suburbs for your consideration.
Firstly, how to prepare to purchase a home for your retirement:
- Get a valuation done on your own home to know how much you can spend on your anticipated choice of retirement.
- Go and view the choices you have made.
- If something is not available immediately, put your name on the list of applicants to be called once something becomes available (You can always say "no" if you are not ready for the move).
- Get in touch with our team for any assistance or advise.
