The Clarinet is situated in Melodie, Hartbeespoort in close proximity to Village Mall.

Lock-up-and-go investment properties have become more and more popular as investors realise the benefits of low maintenance, security and easy placing of tenants.

Many residents of smaller units are finding that the unique benefits of the lifestyle suit them just as well, or even better, than a house ever could. The advantages are many and varied; here are just a few of the reasons why an increasing number of home buyers are choosing smaller.

Location the key when it comes to going smaller. Choosing a smaller unit often means a better location in close proximity to malls, amenities and the best that the environment has to offer.

Another upside of the location is the lifestyle smaller units frequently offer. Being close to the action means that everything is literally at your doorstep, from bars and restaurants to pubs and theatres, sporting facilities and parks. It’s a totally different atmosphere to a house out in the suburbs, and one many people will happily sacrifice space to be a part of.

When it comes to a unit in a sectional title development, expect less maintenance than with a house. First off, they tend to be smaller, meaning less upkeep and cleaning. In new developments, it should also mean you’re moving into a brand new facility built to the very latest safety and construction requirements. In addition, without a garden there’ll be no weeding or lawn mowing – upkeep of any communal green areas is the responsibility of the body corporate. Likewise, any maintenance issues with the building at large will be handled by the body corporate.

An apartment complex offers a certain amount of security – not just anyone can get in. You require not only a key to get into your own apartment, but a swipe card or access code for the gate entrance.

A smaller unit is likely to be cheaper than a house in the same area. Having a small space means power costs are likely to lower. It’s also possible to cut down on car use, since many developments are in areas where walking and catching public transport is a feasible option.
