Owning property in Fish Hoek has many other attractions too. For example, the large diversity of outdoor activities available to residents in Fish Hoek, such as shark cage diving and various other beach activities. In spite of the fact that there are sharks in False Bay, attacks on Cape Town beaches are rare and there are shark spotters on duty in the[area every day.

If this is not enough to set your mind at rest, there are several walled tidal pools and protected beaches along the Fish Hoek coast where children of all ages can play and swim without fearing anything other than maybe too much sun.

Here are some tips to help you buy the best Fish Hoek Properties to suit your needs: • Forget Furniture – Many Fish Hoek properties for sale include the furniture. Sadly banks do not recognise the price of furniture when one applies for a loan. The best way to get around this is to make a separate deal with regards to the contents of the home.

• Find A Reputable Agent – If you are not living in or near your investment, make certain that your Fish Hoek property is being professionally looked after. Rentals that are collected on your behalf should also be deposited into a protected trust account.

• Obey The Rules – When considering an investment in Fish Hoek properties, verify the plans and boundaries of the property, as well as municipal by-laws. If it is situated on the beachfront, ensure that there are no illegal structures within any reserves. Ignoring this can result in high reinstatement bills and costly fines.

• Check The Finishes – Type and quality of finishes are imperative when choosing coastal Fish Hoek properties. The salty air and hot sun can speedily erode certain features, becoming a very expensive business. Wood requires regular care, while rust can become a nuisance in certain kinds of steel.

Investing in Fish Hoek Properties can reap high rewards, but making hurried decisions can also produce a big loss.
