The calm before the storm. 

Cape Town is expecting another big storm to arrive on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th of July 2020, with rain forecast until next Tuesday.

This is not unusual for Cape Town this time of year but can catch people unaware. While we are grateful for the rain to fill our dams heavy rain and strong winds are expected, so do please take precautions!
 
To avoid flooding into your house please clear all the gutters on your roof and also clear out any ground drainage in front of your property.

Gutters and drainage can be easily blocked with leaves and debris and result in unnecessary damage. 
​
We recommend this to all our tenants, sellers and will be doing this for our management clients.
