Solar geysers come standard in every home. There is the optional extra for buyers to add solar that would allow the house to be unaffected by load shedding.
There is a minimum 10% deposit on the total plot & plan price required for all buyers. The deposit is paid into the attorney’s interest bearing trust account, at a rate of 7.6%.

The plot transfers first, and the building / contract amount is held back on retention
The retention amount is paid out as work progresses (the amount is determined by the bank based on work done on the project)
As the plot transfers first, the buyer will have a bond instalment on this amount
Interim interest will also be charged once progress draws are made
The client has to service the interim interest to ensure that it does not feed into the contract amount. If this happens, there will be insufficient funds for final payment
The full bond instalment is only due once the project has been completed and the final draw is made
The plot and plan are being sold simultaneously; the two agreements being interdependent of each other, there is one 60 page Offer To Purchase. And as such the financing is being arranged for both of them together as one amount. Our admin and finance team are available to assist you throughout this process.
We have been 100% pre-qualified by four major banks (Nedbank, Std Bank, ABSA & FNB). We also have approval from Nedbank Private Wealth, RMB & Investec.
There is no transfer duty on purchases within the La Luc development. Purchasers will be saving anywhere between R650k – R950k on transfer duty as they are buying off-plan.
Yes, there is nothing stopping a foreign investor from buying a property in South Africa. As long as you have the necessary FICA requirements & documents you are able to buy as a non-resident. South African banks are even able to finance the purchase up to 50% the value of the property for foreign buyers. Any foreign buyer would be required to pay a 30%-50% deposit depending on the structure of the agreement and purchase.
Any natural person or legal entity can purchase a unit/s within the development, however the estate rules and regulations require that at least 1 occupant of the home is over the age of 50.
You can start the process of selling your unit in La Luc as soon as it transfers into your name. It is highly likely that you would be able to sell your unit for a profit due to the competitive pricing of the La Luc units and high demand and scarce supply of homes in Franschhoek.
La Luc Estate is 100% going ahead. We have all of the necessary approvals and official/authorised documents in place.
Multiple flood mitigation measures have been put in place. The engineers Aurecon/Zutari have worked on massive projects such as Century City & Val de Vie – they are regarded as a top engineering firm and have done the calculations on Lion’s Rest.
Rapid Compact Compaction & Floating foundations are a couple of the measures taken to ensure the reliability and dependability of the foundation and builds on the plots.
