5 REASONS TO BUY PROPERTY IN A SECURITY ESTATE

Buying a house is often the largest investment one will make in one's life therefore it is essential to make the right decision. It goes without saying that proper homework and investigation needs to be done before concluding a deal. It is paramount to buy in a good area where property prices will increase overtime and coupled to this should be the assurance of a secure and safe environment for the family.

It is common knowledge that Silver Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate was voted the 'safest estate in the country'. The question arises why buy property in a gated community and in particular in Silver Lakes Estate.

1. Peace of mind

The peace of mind gained from knowing that the family is safe is extremely liberating. No need to worry if the garage door is left open or if someone has forgotten to lock the front door.    

2. Lifestyle and freedom

Lifestyle in a security estate is unsurpassed. If one's children are walking or playing in the street there is no reason to be concerned. Children have the freedom to go to the Clubhouse by themselves for a game of tennis, to play squash or to enjoy a swim in the communal swimming pool. Sundowners can be enjoyed on the patio at home with no concern that an unwelcome person might arrive. Unlike many other estates or security villages, Silver Lakes has ample open natural space where one can relax and unwind from the game reserve to the tranquil lakes. 

3. Changed mindset

One's mindset changes when living in a security estate. Cortisol levels drop and instead of focusing energy on survival, one can focus on the positive aspects of life. 

4. State-of-the-art security

Silver Lakes Golf Estate has a 24-hour operated security control centre, the central point from which all monitoring and responding takes place. It is a state-of-the-art hub which has qualified personnel who monitor all the access/egress points, electrified fences, cameras, access control systems and perimeter walls. Technology has become an extremely useful tool in the security industry to not only improve monitoring but also to improve access processes and procedures. All visitors and contractors are screened when entering the Estate by security personnel.  Armed response staff constantly patrol the Estate.  In an emergency or if one needs any form of assistance, security is a call away and with the implementation of a new app, the app can be used to request help by simply pressing a button on a smart phone. 

5. Reduction in insurance premiums

Who would not want to save money? If one stays in a security estate expect to pay lower car and household insurance premiums.
