• Electrical Connection Fee (R24,000)
• Levy Stabilisation Fee (R15,000)

*Calculated on a 4 bed, 2 bath unit at R2,362,390

Levies are determined in terms of the sectional title and exclusive use area of the apartments. Levies are calculated at a standard rate to be determined.

They cover the costs of security, cleaning and upkeep of the common areas, maintenance of the building, building insurance and all running – and management costs.

Monthly rates are based on the value of the property and are calculated based on the value of the property and then multiplied by 0.007159 to get your yearly rates. Divide this by 12 to get your monthly rates.

Rates include COCT rates & CID levy.

Moreover, residential properties enjoy a rebate of R450,000 of the property’s municipal value, provided the total value is R5 million or less. For properties exceeding R5 million, a nominal R15,000 rebate applies.

Example:

(R2,85 million property)
R2,850,000 – R450,000 = R2,400,000 taxable value
R2,400,000 x 0.007159 = R17,181.60 per annum
This equates to R1,431.80 per month

No hidden costs. VAT inclusive, no transfer duty. Rates, taxes and CID will apply.

The contract price is the price the client will pay for the property. You must be aware that there is occupational interest due from the date you take occupation until you take ownership (transfer takes place).

The other costs applicable are detailed above and include monthly rates and levies. Bond costs will be payable prior to registration of your bond once you take transfer of your unit. Transfer costs at this point will also be applicable but these costs are largely offset by the interest that you earn on your deposit during the construction period.

Construction of Ballito EDGE is scheduled to commence in January 2026, with Phase 1 handovers expected in January 2027.

Occupation will be granted once the development is complete and the required certification has been issued.

From the date of occupation, owners may:

• Occupy the apartment
• Place a long-term tenant
• Participate in the short-term rental scheme (managed by Arcis / Drop-Inn)

Ballito EDGE is located within the North Point precinct in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal, a growing coastal residential and mixed-use node.

The development publishes:

• Indicative rental income
• Estimated levies and rates
• Estimated monthly costs
  Estimated rental yields per unit type

These figures are provided as guidance only and are not guarantees.

Arcis positions Ballito EDGE as a modern, eco-conscious, community-focused development in a prime North Coast location with strong rental and lifestyle appeal.

Investors have access to powerful tax incentives, including the popular Section 13sex of the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962. This scheme enables any taxpayer who owns five or more new, residential rental units (do not all have to be from the same development), to claim up to 55% of the purchase price as a tax deduction.

Example:

• Purchase five units at a total purchase price of R19,868,075
• Minus the launch discount = R1,000,000 (R200,000 per unit, if purchased on launch)
• Final purchase price = R18,868,075
• Deemed purchase price = R10,377,441 (55% of final purchase price)
• 5% of the deemed price may be used as a tax deduction per year

This works out to a tax deduction (tax write-off) of R518,872 per year for 20 years.

Total tax write-off = R10,377,441 (over 20 years).

The taxpayer must own at least 5 residential units. The deal kicks in once the buyer takes ownership of their 5th new unit. A residential unit refers to a building or self-contained apartment, mainly used for residential accommodation with the exclusion of structures used for business purposes, for example, hotels.

All units must be situated in South Africa.

Residential units must have been purchased new and unused. (For example, buyers of flats that had previously been occupied would not qualify for this incentive.)

The units must be used solely for the purpose of trade (i.e. residential letting). This prevents housing claims for personal use.

Please consult your tax advisor for further clarification and information.
