Rode Valuations As one of South Africa’s large valuation firms, Rode annually values property portfolios which include shopping centres, agricultural property, residential, commercial and industrial property. Rode also undertakes municipal property valuations, as well as specialized valuations such as hotels, hospitals, bare dominiums, airports, etc. Rode has been the annual overall top performer in the pmr.africa awards since 2016.

Rode’s property valuation services are underpinned by the rigorous surveying of, inter alia, market rental levels and capitalization rates. Rode’s valuation services also rely extensively on techniques such as regression models, as well as the opportunity cash flow (OCF) method. This ensures uniform and realistic market valuations and is Rode’s competitive edge.

SHOPPING CENTRES

In the retail field, Rode is considered South Africa’s premier shopping-centre valuer owing to the firm’s technique of calculating market rentals and standard capitalization rates. The firm regresses actual rental rates of recently signed leases against their floor area size to determine the relationship between the market-rental rate and floor area. The latter is a useful tool which landlords can employ to their advantage when negotiating renewals.

FARM VALUATIONS

Rode’s agricultural valuation department specialises in the valuation of farms and smallholdings and understands the value-drivers within this sector.

SPECIALIST PROPERTIES

Rode Valuations has done pioneering research on several specialist-property typologies, and we regard ourselves as leading valuers with respect to hospitals, self-storage facilities, hotels, retirement villages, bare dominiums (leased fee estates in American parlance) and airports.

Rode ConsultRode Consult renders property-related research services to the public and private sec-tors.

As consultants, Rode & Associates are often called upon to do difficult tasks. So, for instance in 1990 Rode analysed and forecast the property market in Maseru for the Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC). This project involved, inter alia, forecasting demand trends in Maseru.

Studies often utilise econometric analysis to forecast trends.

Examples of other assignments include:

• Compiling a macro overview of the South African housing market for thenational Department of Housing;

• Demand forecasts for specific office nodes, industrial townships, and flatsmarkets;

• Forecasts of rental levels using econometric modelling;• Property-portfolio analysis;

• Long-term forecasts of property values in South Africa;• An analysis of the property market in towns and municipalities;• Acting as an expert witness in arbitration and litigation;• Assessment of market potential for commercial property ventures such as new or existing office complexes,

retail centres, light industrial nodes, etc. To do this, property market indicators are identified and analyzed, e.g.supply and demand analysis (type & size), rentals (R/m²), selling prices, escalation rates (%), vacancies (%), take-up rates (%).

• Advisory services to implement the Government Immovable Asset Management Act, Act 19 of 2007 (GIAMA);• Research to determine the highest and best use for unused and underutilised government immovable assets.

Major recent clients of the division include: the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Government, the Auditor-Gen-eral of South Africa (AGSA), engineering firms and property developers.

Foreword

Dear Reader

ForewordxviiRode’s Report 2020:2

Welcome to the second issue of Rode’s Report on the South African Property Market (RR) for 2020. The second-quarter report was one of the most difficult we have ever had to write given the extreme uncertainty caused by the coronavirus crisis, while the lack of new data made gauging the severity of the downturn difficult. Our early findings point to a property market that has weakened further, but the big negative impact of the crisis will only be seen in coming quarters as more clarity emerges with increased property transaction volumes.

As usual, we report on the movements of several critical property variables, ranging from capitalization rates, market rentals, operating costs, escalation rates and land values to house prices.

How to value real estate when the road curves

et us assume South Africa was a 4x2 bakkie. The two front wheels are already over the (fiscal) cliff; the two rear wheels are still on terra firma. The driver is still behind the steering wheel and is frantically engaging reverse gear – but it is a front-wheel-drive vehicle. This is where the SA economy is.

This has important implications for the valuation of fixed property. The practical problem is that all evidence of value is in the past. In fact, the act of valuation can be described as a blindfolded driver behind the steering wheel while a passenger looking through the rear window gives directions to the driver. This could sort of work when the road is straight. But now the road is curving …

It seems to me there are many blindfolded valuer drivers out there who do not recognise that the road is curving and that the voice in the rear seat shouting directions based on the road behind the vehicle hasn’t got a clue either.

This brings me to the drivers of market value. For income-producing properties, the important variables are the expected income stream (peering into the future) and capitalization rates. When you do a combination of discounted cash flow and straight capitalisation, then both the capitalization and the discount rate are important. However, because our metaphorical road is curving, the past evidence for these variables is of limited use. This problem is compounded as valuers have virtually no known recent transactions, given the Covid-19 lockdown. So, the guy looking through rear window cannot even see the first 200 metres behind the vehicle; thus, in his directions to the driver he not only has to predict the future, he must also predict the past.

Hence, valuations are a guessing game at present. To help valuers, let us first revisit the first principles of valuing income-producing properties.

Equation (1) below is an example of discounted cash flow, which is based on the principle that time has a monetary value. It can be explained in the following way:

R100 is worth more today than a year from now. The difference is how much interest one can earn on R100 over the next year. For example, the present value (PV) of R100, payable a year from now, would be R89,29, calculated at an interest rate of 12%. Put differently, if one could invest R89,29 for one year at 12%, this investment would be worth R100 at the end of the term. Discounting is, therefore, nothing but the opposite of compounding interest.

Valuers all know the capitalization formula

But does the reader know that this simple formula has royal ancestry? It was derived from the equation below, also known as Gordon’s Growth Model.

It is Equation (3) that is known as the capitalization formula, and it is widely used by professional valuers. Where a property is not rented at market-related levels, certain further adjustments are necessary by adding the present value (PV) of the opportunity cash flow (OCF) or the PV of the top-slice amount.1 The capitalization formula should, therefore, be used with caution.

It is clear from the above that direct capitalization is a form of discounting – a form that assumes that the cash flow will grow at a constant rate g in perpetuity. This assumption is not always correct. For instance, due to existing leases, further adjustments are often necessary after capitalization.2 Otherwise, the rental income should be discounted and capitalization only done at the expiry of the lease of a single tenant. In the case of multi-tenanted buildings, this is complicated — what with different lease expiry dates — and this writer, therefore, normally prefers the straight capitalization option, provided adjustments are made for any over- or under-rentedness.3

1 Where a property is under-rented, the OCF or top-slice amount would be negative. (Under-rented means the escalated contractual rentals are lower than market rentals.) In SA the opposite is more common because of our high contractual escalation rates. 2 See previous footnote. 3 The two methods should yield the same market value, provided the assumptions going into the models are internally consistent.

After rearranging Equation (2), we get the calculation of the required total return (hurdle rate):

gP

Dr

The hurdle rate is the rate that should be used when discounting because it is the total return investors forgo when they are not invested in a specific property (their opportunity cost). The hurdle rate of a specific property is of course a function of such a property’s risk and expected (ex ante) cash-flow growth in perpetuity. The latter is represented by g.

From Equation 2 it is clear the crucial variables to establish are r and g – whether you do straight capitalization or a combination of straight capitalization and discounting. If you had a good handle on what r is and you knew what g was (good luck!), then you can calculate k (the capitalization rate). If you knew what k was (say, ex Rode’s Report), and you can estimate g ex ante, then you can calculate r because r = k + g. This is the normal way of calculating the discount rate.

South Africa’s future is currently very uncertain. This begs the question, how does uncertainty manifest itself in the above variables, i.e. k and g?

I posit that g only represents expected net income growth, nothing more. The uncertainty is encapsulated in k, the capitalization rate. Let me illustrate:

There are two types of risks associated with an investment:

Firstly, the probability that the futurecash flow will deviate from theexpected, in other words, expected gmight turn out to be wrong. Theuncertainty regarding g is captured ink, the initial yield at which investorsare prepared to trade. The higher the

4 Credit rating agencies reckon SA government bonds are becoming so risky they are now below investment grade. Thus, they are hardly risk free anymore. 5 Rising long interest rates depress bond values and vice versa.

uncertainty about g, the higher the capitalization rate the buyer would demand to achieve his desired total return r. This is an endogenous risk.

Secondly, the probability of capitaldepreciation through exogenousfactors like the economy tanking orlong-bond interest rates movinghigher, resulting in lower bond values.Long bonds (or similar) also act assubstitute investments for property;hence changes in these yieldsinfluence k (more about this later).

Government bonds of 10 years and longer are often seen and used as a metric for return on a risk-free investment. The reason is that – normally – the risk of default is low,4 but that does not mean their risk of capital depreciation is low because the probability of long interest rates fluctuating5 is greater than the government defaulting.

Of course, these two sources of risk are intertwined. We see it in the way credit rating agencies look at countries’ risk profile. A high debt obligation may still be tolerated, provided the economy (“g”) grows strongly, enabling the country to continue serving its interest obligations.

Thus, both endogenous and exogenous risk can result in capital loss. But how to quantify this risk?

The risk premium in the capital market

In May 2020, long yields in SA were volatile but averaged 10%. Remember, this type of investment may be – or is supposed to be – free of default risk, but not free of capital depreciation risk via fluctuating long interest rates.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 3 General article

Page 23: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

On the other hand, money-market instruments like treasury bills (TBs) of 91 days are practically risk free with respect to both the probability of default and capital loss (because of the short term of 91 days). On 25 June 2020 TBs stood at about 4%.

The spread (difference) between short and long investment was thus 6% points at the time of writing. This is the risk premium in the capital markets, which caters for the risk of higher inflation over the 10-year period and the possibility of default by the state. The reader might think the latter source of risk is negligible, but the history of the capital markets of Latin America over many decades shows this risk is very real in a democratic developing country because politicians in such regimes often have a short time horizon and tend to be socialist in their policies (think “bread and circuses”).

The yields at which long bonds trade can be compared with the capitalization rates of income-producing properties. Thus, we can posit that risk is already built into property capitalisation rates and that at present the risk premium for a grade-A office building in Sandton CBD is a hefty 5,8% points (9,8% Sandton CBD capitalization rate6 less 4% TB 91 days). By chance, this was also the average risk premium of 10-year bonds in May.

Thus, it is wrong to include a risk element in g (the expected constant growth rate of the cash flow) because this would amount to double counting for risk. I recently had the opportunity to read other valuers’ reports with valuation dates February and March 2020 and it struck me that they seem to use a typical g of 6%.7 8 This was excessive even during the boom years but is now patently unrealistic. If you can buy a grade-A office

6 See Table 2.2 in Chapter 2 for the surveyed capitalization rates as in quarter 2 of 2020. 7 The source is given as Sapoa’s survey as at the end of 2019 – or even many years earlier! 8 Such a high g is not defendable as Rode’s SA Property Trends publication forecast as at December 2019 that, for instance, under the more probable ‘IMF’ scenario gross grade-A office rentals would nationally grow at 2,1% p.a. over the following six years. But this rate would not apply to individual buildings’ cash-flow as it ignores changes in vacancies, the effect of ageing on an individual building’s market rental and operating costs that grow faster than inflation. Thus, a 2,1% growth of grossgrade-A rents becomes something like 1% growth in cash flow.

property at an initial net yield of 10% today and be so lucky as to get a 2% per year growth in cash flow over, say, a period of five years, you would get a total return r of about 12%, which equates to a very satisfactory real total return of about 8%, given today’s inflation rate of about 4%.

Common sense tells you that in today’s market the values of properties surely must have depreciated compared to a year ago. Yet, when you do a discounting of the first few years’ cash flow rather than a straight capitalization, the following anomaly raises its head compared to last year:

Yes, capitalization rates have been creeping up over the past year or two (see the graph), but because of a lower g, the discount rate on a net basis is probably reduced (depending on what the previous year’s g was), thereby pushing up the value, holding all other factors constant. Surely that cannot be. The ‘all other factors’ we hold constant are the income stream. And this is the answer to the riddle.

Temporarily, contractual escalation rates on existing leases (say, 8% per year) will tend to support a growth in cash flow that exceeds market-related rental growth of, say, 2%.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 4 General article

Page 24: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

However, these leases with their escalated rentals will sooner or later revert to (much lower) market levels. Also, there will be growing vacancies through tenants going bankrupt or reducing their rented space and having to be replaced at market rentals. The space may even remain vacant for a long time. Whether the valuer does the DCF over five or ten years, it is exceedingly important to incorporate the effect of these market reversions in the cash flow. Also crucial, is to do the capitalization at the end of the DCF period on the forecast net market rentals of the following year9 – in our example, using net market rentals that had grown at an assumed 2% per year since the valuation date.

The determinants of capitalization rates and g

In Chapter 3 of this issue of Rode’s Report and all past issues, the reader will see that a cross-sectional10 regression analysis shows that – nationally – gross market rental levels are a very significant determinant of capitalization rates. And rentals are in turn largely driven by economic growth, which in turn fuels g. The explanation is that when the market expects booming market rentals, investors are prepared to pay a higher price for year 1’s expected income stream – meaning capitalization rates drop. Andvice versa.

Our time series regression analyses11 show that over time the drivers of capitalization rates are 10-year bond

yields (as substitute investments) and economic growth. The former thus incorporates a risk premium and the latter determinant powers g of course. Today, both drivers of capitalization rates point to rising capitalization rates because:

Long bond yields have – for a goodreason – been rising since last year,thereby via the substitution mechanism confirming that capitalization rates include the riskpremium discussed above.

The economy is waning (depressingexpectations over the growth of g,resulting in buyers demanding ahigher capitalization rate to stillachieve their desired total return).

Note, however, that capitalization rates are sticky – meaning they do not change as fast as, say, 10-year bonds’ yield to maturity.

In conclusion, the most important take-away of this piece is that valuers should carefully weigh the impact of the unfolding economic malaise on the important drivers of value – k, g and the cash-flow growth during the DCF period – and make sure the assumptions areinternally consistent. Above all, the magnitudes of the variables must be internally consistent and defendable. When an economy lapses into a serious and protracted downswing, past growth rates of cash flow are nigh irrelevant and g of an individual property cannot be assumed to exceed inflation.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 6 State of the Property Market 

Chapter 1: State of the property market

State of the property market in quarter 2 of 2020 Rode’s latest survey results confirm – if confirmation was necessary – that the SA property market is under serious pressure. The economy has now been in recession since the third quarter of 2019, and the impact of Covid-19 will accelerate the slide. The emergency budget delivered in June points to a worsening fiscal crisis, which could drag South Africa (or the bakkie on the front page) over the cliff if drastic measures are not implemented. The severe economic slowdown has implications for the valuation of property and we deal with this in our special article at the beginning of report.

The second-quarter surveys were conducted in May 2020 when transaction volumes were very limited due the lockdown, which forced estate agencies to temporarily close or work from home, preventing the physical inspection of properties. One would imagine that convincing a buyer to purchase or a tenant to rent a property without physically seeing it would be difficult, even if you had the best technology at your disposal. In fact, out of Rode’s total survey respondents, 56% said the first-quarter data were still applicable due to lack of new transactions. Almost all other respondents provided data indicative of a weaker market. We expect the real impact of the coronavirus crisis will only be seen in coming quarters as transaction volumes increase. Leases that come up for renewal will see sharp rental reversions as most landlords aim to keep tenants as the risk of finding good new tenants in this market is high.

A vital point to remember is that the property market was already oversupplied before Covid-19 emerged in South Africa in March. This implies that the pandemic will prolong the oversupply situation, with a sustained upturn now several years away.

A summary of the main findings by property type follows.

Quantitative overview of the property market

Table 1.1 on the page 8 provides a snapshot of how the property market has performed over the past four quarters by comparing the latest information (quarter 2020:2) with data collected a year earlier.

Office market

Nationally, nominal market rentals for grade-A office space in the second quarter of 2020 increased by only 1% compared to a year ago ̶ lower than the 4% year-on-year growth recorded in the first quarter of 2020, according to Rode’s office market survey. This has been the weakest year-on-year change in rentals since 2013. Rentals decreased by 1% compared to the first quarter of 2020. This implies that rentals moved even deeper into negative territory when measured in real terms; that is, after accounting for building-cost inflation (BER BCI) of around 8%.

Over the past year, grade-A rentals grew by about 4% in both Cape Town and Durban, while growing by 1% in Johannesburg. Rentals declined by 3% in Pretoria. Almost all cities recorded lower

Rode’s Report 2020:2 7 State of the Property Market 

rentals compared to the first quarter, but not by more than 2%.

Due to its significant oversupply, the office market was in deep trouble even before Covid-19 came along in March this year. Nationally, decentralized vacancy rates for grade-A and B-offices combined averaged 11,1% in the first quarter of 2020, up from 10,6% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the worst rate since early 2004. We expect vacancy rates to increase sharply over the rest of 2020 and into 2021 as more companies close. Companies might also reduce their required space as more employees work from home on a permanent basis, leading to a prolonged oversupplied market. However, this impact will be offset somewhat by more space per employee required to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Positive aspects for the market are the big slowdown in building activity and the fact that international and domestic REITs have reported a high percentage of rental collections in April and May, probably as most companies that were forced to close their offices could work from home and still obtain some form of income.

Industrial market

Our survey results show that the industrial market, like other property sectors, is also feeling the impact of the very weak economy, which has been dragged down further by Covid-19 since March 2020. Nominal industrial market rental growth slowed to 1% year on year in the second quarter from 2% in the first quarter, with vacancies remaining higher than in 2019. Rentals were virtually unchanged compared to first-quarter levels. We believe this is reflective of the very thin market, with few transactions taking place during the lockdown.

Nominal rental growth for prime industrial space of 500 m² was the fastest in Cape Town at about 4% compared to a year ago. Rental levels stayed roughly the same in the East Rand but fell by 3% in the Central Witwatersrand. This implies that all regional rentals increased at a slower rate than building-cost inflation.

A positive aspect for the market is that domestic REITs exposed to industrial property have reported a high percentage of rental collections in April and May, especially those linked to logistics where rental collections were in the high nineties. This is because essential retailers have stayed open during the entire lockdown and had no excuse to plead poverty.

Residential market

The housing market is under increasing pressure, with national house price growth continuing to weaken. The latest data from FNB show that nominal house price growth slowed to 1,9% year on year in April 2020, down from 2,5% in March, and the lowest since end 2009. This implies that prices have continued to decline in real terms after having taken out inflation. Please note that the April data do not fully reflect the impact of the lockdown.

The housing market is still a buyers’ market due to the oversupply, most significantly at the high end of the market where sales volumes have declined drastically. The very-low end of the market remains the best positioned as demand still exceeds supply (as far as we know!).

A boost for the residential property market has been the sharp cut in short-term interest rates to the lowest in 50 years. However, the interest rate cuts won’t be enough to cancel out the deleterious effect of the recession – a recession that could last a long time.

Nationally, flat vacancy rates averaged 7% in the second quarter of 2020, up from 5,5% in the second quarter of 2019. High and rising flat vacancy rates have led to slower rental growth, which in the first quarter of 2020 averaged 3,2% on a year earlier – the slowest since at least 2009. This implies that rentals are declining in real terms. Vacancy rates will rise further in the short term as the sharp contraction in the economy puts significant financial pressure on many tenants, leading to

more evictions as we move to lockdown level 2 and lower (evictions are not allowed under lockdown levels 5 to 3).

The stark reality for owners of residential property will be to choose between lower rentals or no rentals.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 9 Standard capitalization rates

Chapter 2: Capitalization rates

Capitalization rates moving up Kobus Lamprecht

Capitalization rates of directly-held non-residential property in South Africa in the second quarter of 2020 continued to increase (worsen) from previous-quarter levels. We ascribe this to the poor outlook for the property market, which is not surprising, given the business cycle downturn, compounded by Covid-19.

The respective national capitalization rates were 10,3% for grade-A multi-tenanted decentralized office properties, 9,8% for prime industrial leasebacks and 8,5% for regional shopping centres (see the chart), all up compared to the first quarter of 2020. All data series in this chapter are smoothed. However, unsmoothed, capitalization rates are up about 0,3% points for all non-residential property types; on a smoothed basis, they are only up by 0,2% points.

Importantly, Rode’s second-quarter surveys were conducted in May 2020 when transaction volumes were very limited due the lockdown. In fact, out of Rode’s total number of survey respondents, 56% said the first-quarter data were still applicable due to a lack of new transactions. As is to be expected, almost all other respondents indicated a weaker market.

We expect the real impact of the coronavirus crisis will only be seen in coming quarters as transaction volumes increase. Thus, capitalization rates – as reported – could come under more pressure in the short term.

Below, we first briefly discuss the outlook for capitalization rates, followed by the movement in capitalization rates for the different property types by region.

Outlook for capitalization rates

Interest rates in general can affect the total returns (hurdle rates) and income yields investors expect on property in three ways, viz. (1) the substitution principle (alternative, long-term investments like 10-year bonds experience a change in yields), (2) changes in the cost of financial gearing (shorter-term interest rates), and (3) changes in the market’s rating of listed property funds like REITs. These factors can all affect the profitability of purchasing directly-held properties, but the market’s rating of REITs (as argued above) is especially important as REITs are big buyers of institution-quality directly-held properties, and a poor rating of REITs (high forward yields) means these funds want to pay less for the same expected cash stream (thereby raising capitalization rates of directly-held properties).

The outlook for the growth in income streams from directly-held non-residential property continues to be marred by poor and worsening property fundamentals, such as above-average vacancy rates and, therefore, weak rentals. The dismal fundamentals are of course the result of an

Rode’s Report 2020:2 10 Standard capitalization rates

economy in dire straits – a situation that will persist for some years to come.1 This should generally impact negatively on capitalization rates in the medium term, meaning cap rates will tend to rise. See also our special chapter in this quarter’s issue titled Quo vadis capitalization and discount rates?

As explained above, another predictor of capitalization rates is long-bond yields. SA’s long-term bond yield (10 years and over) averaged 10% in the first five months of 2020, up from 9,1% in 2019. The yield averaged 10,1% in May. This implies that cap rates could head higher in coming quarters.

Office capitalization rates

Johannesburg

Office capitalization rates of grade-A multi-tenanted properties in Johannesburg decentralized averaged 10,4% in the second quarter of 2020, up from 10,2% in the first quarter. This is 1 percentage point (or 100 basis points) higher than in Cape Town, where cap rates are the lowest.

The two accompanying graphs show which decentralised nodes in Johannesburg are not investors’ favourites (the nodes with the highest capitalization rate). They are: Randburg, Rivonia, Parktown and Midrand. Of course, there are others, but these are the ones that stand out on the two graphs.

In the second quarter, capitalization rates on grade-A multi-tenanted properties in Johannesburg decentralized ranged from 9,4% in Waterfall to as high as 11,3% in Randburg/Ferndale. Most nodes saw weakening capitalization rates in the second quarter, as shown in the two charts.

The differences in capitalization rates can be used as a guide to the market’s perception of these nodes. The higher the capitalization rate, the worse the expected growth in income streams and/or the higher the perceived risk of the node (or individual property).

Thus, risk and expected growth in rentals are intimately linked. We also see this link in the way rating agencies like Standard & Poor’s evaluate the creditworthiness of countries (high economic growth reduces risk of default even when the debt ratio is high).

2 Note that we report on standard capitalization rates. These assume the property is let at market-related rentals as distinct from escalated contractual rentals, which may be far higher than market levels. See the Glossary (Annexure 1).

Grade-A capitalization rates in Cape Town decentralized averaged 9,4% in the second quarter of 2020 – up from 9,2% in the first quarter, but still comfortably the lowest in the country.

Industrial capitalization rates

In the second quarter of 2020, capitalization rates on industrial leasebacks in the country’s major industrial areas on average increased (worsened) compared to the first quarter of 2020. Our respondents believe investors in prime industrial property (with a leaseback covenant) required a minimum net income yield of 9,8% (9,6% in previous quarter) in the country’s top cities and nodes. In today’s market, this is not a bad return, provided the tenant is of a AAA quality, considering that 10-year government bonds stood at about 10% on average in May 2020.

The capitalization rates of all major industrial conurbations surveyed by Rode increased compared to the previous quarter, as shown in the chart. Cap rates remained the lowest in the Cape Peninsula at 9,2%, despite weakening from 9%. Average capitalization rates in the Central Witwatersrand, Durban and Pretoria averaged between 9,4% and 10%.

The economy is expected to contract by 6,5% in 2020, according to the June Beeld consensus forecast by top economists. This will have enormous consequences as many people are expected to lose their jobs or experience salary cuts. In fact, the before-mentioned is already happening. Worryingly, consumers will avoid places of mass gatherings, like malls, even after the lockdown has been lifted completely. This implies that consumer spending will decline drastically in 2020, leading to sharply falling retail sales. The blow will be cushioned somewhat by income support measures (like UIF and the Solidarity Fund), credit purchases, lower interest rates and subdued inflation. A weak outlook for the sector means investors will require higher returns when investing in shopping centres and, consequently, higher capitalization rates.

Cap rates of regional shopping centres worsened slightly to 8,5% from 8,3% in the previous quarter. Note that regional centres are the second-largest type of shopping centre and have 50 000 to 100 000 m² rentable space (see Annexure 1 for shopping centre definitions).

We found that the national cap rates for the smaller community and neighbourhood centres averaged 9,7% and 10,3% respectively – also worse than in the previous quarter. Rode’s discussion on the performance of retail sales and trading densities, as well as vacancy rates by shopping centre size, is provided in Rode’s Retail Report publication.

Leaseback escalation rates

Table 2.1 shows that the average leaseback escalation rate (on new or renegotiated leases) in the second quarter of 2020 was about 8%. The small standard deviation of 0,5 percentage points suggests escalation rates vary between 7% and 9% but are closely clustered around the mean. Thus, we can say the mode3 is 8%.

The escalation rate is an (often unsuccessful) attempt by the market to forecast the average growth in market rentals until the expiry of the lease. Note that we define a leaseback as a lease agreement with a prime tenant that has, inter alia, a term at inception of 10 years or longer. The initial rental on a new custom-built property with a long lease and a single tenant should never be accepted as reliable market evidence. This is so because the developer would insist on an initial net yield that reflects the (high) building costs and land value at the time of negotiating the lease – and which has hardly any relation to market-related rentals that are negotiated when the long lease eventually expires or reverts to market levels.

This concludes our analysis of capitalization and escalation rates. The capitalization rate tables follow.

3 Mode = most often occurring number.

Interpretation tip: It is dangerous to rely on one quarter’s figure, as it may be an outlier owing to small sample sizes. Instead, consider the trend or contemplate using the average of at least two quarters for a more accurate assessment. For this reason, the graphs accompanying this article are smoothed.

A standard capitalization rate (colloquially referred to as a cap rate) is the expected net operating income for year 1, assuming the entire building is let at open-market rentals, divided by the purchase price. This calculation ignores VAT, transfer duty and income tax, and assumes a cash transaction (not paper). All references in Rode’s Report to “cap rates” and “capitalization rates” mean “standard capitalization rates”.

Capitalization rates for CBDs (excluding the Cape Town CBD) are of little use because when office properties are sold, they are invariably converted to flats.

The high standard deviation from the mean capitalization rate for office and industrial properties in some nodes, as reported in the accompanying capitalization rate tables, is indicative of the uncertainty prevailing in these nodes or areas. With few sales taking place, the evidence on ruling capitalization rates is thin and opinions vary more than in the more popular areas. This means the income-producing property market has become even more inefficient in these nodes, which makes the valuation of these properties a rather hazardous exercise.

We are indebted to our expert capitalization rate panel, comprising major owners and leading brokers who know their market segments intimately. This survey would not be possible without their invaluable contributions. Codes of those panellists who supplied information for this quarter's survey appear in the tables on the following pages. An explanation of the contributor codes can be found on p. xii.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 21 Capitalization rate equations 

Chapter 3: Capitalization rate equations

How to estimate capitalization rates – anywhere

Kobus Lamprecht

This chapter provides the reader with a handy, updated tool to estimate the market capitalization rates of office and industrial properties anywhere in South Africa, provided the valuer is confident about the subject property’s gross market rental rate.

As the reader will see below, in this cross-sectional study,1 market rental rates are amazingly successful in explaining the level of capitalization rates. On reflection, though, this should not be all that surprising, considering that all the good and bad news pertaining to a property is encapsulated in the ruling market rental rate. Here we think of rental-level drivers such as:

Location Typology (offices vs industrial

property vs shopping centres, etc.) Risk (examples of varying risk

profiles are a leaseback comparedwith a multi-tenanted property; therobustness of the covenant)

Grade/age.

An important risk factor typically not reflected in a rental is the design of the building, as it affects its ability to be re-let. Here one thinks of purpose-built buildings.

Thus, the moderately strong relationship between market rental rates and

1 A cross-sectional analysis is a type of observational study that analyses data from a population, or a representative subset, at a specific point in time. This is in contrast to longitudinal analyses, for instance using historical trends to do forecasts.

capitalization rates allows the researcher to build a regression model with which to estimate the capitalization rate.

Office building equation

In our regression analysis of office buildings, we use the market capitalization rates (dependent variables) and gross market rental rates (predictors or independent variables) of grade A, B and C buildings in the areas surveyed by Rode’s Report (RR). The source of the national equation given below is this issue of RR. The regression is based on 51 observations in mainly decentralized nodes.

The updated equation is:

office capitalization rate % = 14,149 – (0,028* gross rental)

where:

gross rental = the market gross rental rate per rentable m2 per month for grade A, B or C office buildings in quarter 2020:2.

The r-squared = 0,71 (which means the level of market rentals explains 71% of the variation in capitalization rates, without controlling for other predictors). The standard error (SE) is 0,68 and n = 51.

Page 41: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

Rode’s Report 2020:2 22 Capitalization rate equations 

Readers should note that it is not advisable to use this function for gross market rental rates that fall much outside the range of R67/m²/month to R185/m²/month.

Example:

If the market gross office rental rate is R150 per rentable m2 per month, then the office capitalization rate % is:

= 14,149 – (0,028 * 150) = 9,9%.

Industrial property equation

This national equation expresses the relationship between the capitalization rates and gross market rental rates of prime non-leasebacks and secondary industrial buildings. Please note, the gross market rental rates are those applicable to 1 000-m2 units. The source of the data is this issue of Rode’s Report. The industrial regression equation, which is based on 14 observations, includes most major primary and secondary industrial cities.

The updated equation is:

industrial capitalization rate % = 13,575 – (0,0667 * gross rental)

where:

gross rental = the gross market rental per rentable m2 per month as in quarter 2020:2 for prime non-leaseback or secondary industrial space of 1 000 m2, located in primary and secondary industrial cities.

The r-squared = 0,72 (which means market rental levels explain 72% of the variations in capitalization rates, without controlling for other predictors). The standard error (SE) is 0,31 and n = 14.

It is not advisable to use this function for gross market rental rates that fall much outside the range of R28/m²/month to R63/m²/month. Also, remember to use the rental rate applicable to a notional floor area of 1 000 m² (even if the subject property’s actual floor area is completely different).

Example:

If the gross industrial rental for a 1 000-m² building, located in a primary or secondary city, is R50 per rentable m2 per month, then the industrial capitalization rate % is:

= 13,575 – (0,0667 * 50) = 10,2%.

Warning: To guard against volatility in the latest survey data, the reader is advised also to consult the regression equation and its applicable rental rate in the previous issue of RR, and to consider using a two-quarter average capitalization rate (unsurveyed) if necessary.

Chapter 4: Listed property

Listed property distributions drying up

Kobus Lamprecht

Listed property prices recovered some ground in the second quarter, but still were down around 45% for the year by the end of June. In fact, since the beginning of 2018 the SA Listed Property Index (SAPY) has declined year on year every month, as shown in the chart. The declines have led to sharply rising trailing income yields,1 which reflect dismal earnings expectations. A vital point to remember is that the property market was already oversupplied before Covid-19 emerged in South Africa in March. This implies that the pandemic will prolong the oversupply situation, with a sustained upturn now several years away.

The latest company financial results discussed later make for bleak reading, characterised by downward rental reversions, higher operating expenses, rising vacancies, decreasing asset valuations and more debt. These factors contribute to lower profitability, with distributions drying up. Most companies

decided to refrain from, or delay, declaring distributions to bolster their balance sheets due to the extreme uncertainty caused by Covid-19.

The good news is that there continue to be some companies that buck the downtrend trend. These companies have portfolios focused on logistics and self-storage. Industrial properties in the logistics segment seem to be the most defensive property type, with rental collections for April and May mostly in the high nineties as warehouses were mostly in operation to supply essential goods during the hard lockdown. The growing popularity of online shopping – albeit from a very low base – does not hurt either.

Rural retail has also performed well in the past, but we are not so sure if this will hold due to the devastating impact of Covid-19 on consumer spending through job losses and salary cuts, not to mention deaths due to underlying comorbidities like HIV, undernourishment and diabetes.

Evidence from abroad and in SA shows that companies exposed to retail and hospitality received the lowest percentage of total rental income in April and May. Many of the companies (think restaurants, travel agencies) in these two sectors will shut permanently due to the financial impact of the crisis. It is going to take a long time before shopping patterns and tourism return to normal due to concerns about the spread of the virus.

1 A trailing yield is the distribution of the past financial year divided by the current price. A forward yield is the expected distribution of the next financial year divided by the current price. The latter is similar to the capitalization rate of directly held property, which is also forward looking.

Page 44: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

Rode’s Report 2020:2 25 Listed property 

Office property seems to be not so severely impacted in terms of rent collection by landlords as initially thought, with many companies able to work from home and still receive revenue, albeit less in some instances. This means office tenants generally can still mostly pay rent, although in some cases rental relief will have to be negotiated.

Listed property versus other asset classes

The total return of the SA REITs Index (excludes property developers and non-SA REITs) declined by 49% in the first five months of 2020, according to the SA REIT Association. It was also a torrid time for equities, with the JSE All Share Index down 10%. Bonds and cash delivered total returns of 1,5% and 2,7% respectively.

Performance of SA-focused JSE-listed property funds

In Table 4.1 we show the individual performances of some JSE-listed property funds for the first five months of 2020 and over the three years to May 2020, expressed as total returns (income yield plus capital return). No SA-focused company managed to deliver a positive total return, except Rebosis, but we think this is merely a result of buyers taking advantage of its low share price after a dismal past few years. In fact, Rebosis delivered the worst total return (-66%) of all the companies shown in the table over the past three years. The standouts in the last three years were Stor-Age and Equites, which delivered a total return of 13% and 5% respectively. We discuss their performance in the section that follows.

In Table 4.2 we show the change in distributions of various SA listed property companies for the half- and full-year periods ended February and March 2020. These financial results are backward-looking as the lockdown only started in the last week of March.

Most companies decided to refrain from, or delay, declaring distributions to bolster their balance sheets. No company provided its distribution expectations for the next reporting period, which is understandable, given the exceptional circumstances caused by Covid-19. The few companies that declared dividends generally did quite well, like Exemplar, Equites, Stor-Age and Spear.

2 Weighted average lease term to expiry

Exemplar’s performance was exceptional as it boasted inflation-beating distribution growth of 12% (on an annualised basis) in the year to February 2020. It is focused on rural shopping centres in what it calls “underserviced” areas, characterised by high population growth. Fairvest, which also competes in the rural market, also shone with good results in its last half-year reporting period in 2019.

Another company that stood out above the market was logistics-focused Equites, which delivered distribution growth of 9,4% in the year ended February 2020. The company had a high WALE2 of 10 years, a low loan-to-value ratio of 26% and saw stellar like-for-like rental growth of 7%.

Page 46: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

Rode’s Report 2020:2 27 Listed property 

Despite the lockdowns, Equites collected almost all its SA and UK rentals for April and May, as a high percentage of its portfolio is related to essential services (about 75% in SA).

Western Cape-focused Spear, a small REIT, managed to grow its distribution by 6% in the year to February 2020. It’s like-for-like rental income grew by 5,4% driven by sharp office rental growth, which represents 27% of its portfolio by gross lettable area. Spear reported that it received 92% of its total April rental billing, while not receiving any income from its hospitality portfolio, which represents 6% of its total portfolio. Its total return was down 36% in the first five months of 2020.

Stor-Age shone with distribution growth of 5% in the year to February 2020. The self-storage property market is proving very resilient, with the company reporting rent collections of over 93% and 98% in April and May in SA and the UK respectively. The company also boasts a conservative gearing (loan to value) of 30%.

Indluplace, the largest residential fund on the JSE, recorded a 9% drop in distributable income in the half-year ended March 2020 and decided to defer its distribution payment to the end of its financial year. Its residential portfolio, mostly Gauteng-based, had a vacancy rate of 5,5%, its best in years. Indluplace’s outlook is clouded by the prospect of increased arrears and bad debts, with vacancy rates likely to rise. The company also said that there is no opportunity for rental increases this year, which is not a good sign with costs increasing sharply.

Another residential player is Octodec, which owns about 9 500 apartments in the CBDs of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Its residential vacancy rate rose to 11% in the half-year ended February 2020 compared to 6,7% in the comparable period a year ago. Octodec’s distributable earnings per share declined by 5,5%. To conserve cash, it did not declare a distribution. A positive about Octodec is that its shopping centres are all neighbourhood/convenience centres in Pretoria and Johannesburg, which are outperforming larger shopping centres – and we believe this trend will continue due to Covid-19 as shoppers try to avoid malls. Its office portfolio is also mostly leased to government entities, which helps with rental collections – or does it?

The high residential vacancy rate of 11% in the lower middle-market segment tells a story of great pain in this group. Now imagine the government starts laying off civil servants …

Delta reported that it received 80% of its April and May rental billing as government-related office tenants are generally paying well, which should help with cash flow. Delta has been struggling for some time, with its distributable earnings per share down 38% for the year ended February 2020.

In sum, company financials continue to disappoint with distributions drying up, but there are some outliers. Prospects are dim given the sharp contraction in the global and SA economies. Some companies are at risk of losing their REIT status and associated tax benefits if they do not pay at least 75% of their distributable income as dividends to investors within four months of their financial year-end period. Fasten your safety belts because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 29 Office rentals

Chapter 5: Office rentals

Office market to feel the pain in coming quarters

Kobus Lamprecht

The office market was in deep trouble even before Covid-19 came along in March this year, and was characterised by high vacancy rates (see Chapter 6). Rode’s second-quarter data show that national decentralized rental growth slowed to 1% year on year, compared to 4% growth in the first quarter. Rentals fell by 1% from first-quarter levels.

Importantly, Rode’s second-quarter surveys were conducted in May 2020 when transaction volumes were very limited due the lockdown, which forced estate agencies to temporarily close or work from home, preventing the physical inspection of properties. One would imagine that convincing a tenant to rent a property without physically seeing it would be difficult, even if you had the best technology at your disposal. In fact, out of Rode’s total survey respondents, 56% said the first-quarter data were still applicable due to lack of new transactions. Almost all other respondents provided data indicative of a weaker market. We expect the real impact of the coronavirus crisis will only be seen in coming quarters as transaction volumes increase. Leases that come up for renewal will see sharp rental reversions as most landlords aim to keep tenants as the risk of finding good new tenants in this market is high. Vacancies are likely to rise in some cases where landlords are not flexible and can afford to lose tenants.

A positive aspect for the market is that international and domestic REITs have reported a high percentage of rental collections in April and May, probably as most companies that were forced to close their offices could work from home and still obtain some form of income. Other companies more severely hit by the virus-related lockdown received rental holidays or

steep discounts. Despite reporting high rental collections, office-focused REITs have struggled on the JSE in 2020 (see Chapter 4) on concerns about long-term demand prospects as the coronavirus crisis could lead to a new "work from home" paradigm. However, this impact will be offset somewhat by more space per employee required to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Below we first discuss the national rental performance before delving into trends in the major cities.

National rentals

Nationally, nominal market rentals for grade-A office space in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 1% compared to a year ago ̶ lower than the 4% year-on-year growth recorded in the first quarter of 2020, according to Rode’s office market survey. This was the weakest year-on-year change in rentals since 2013. Rentals decreased by 1% compared to the first quarter of 2020. This implies that rentals moved even deeper into negative territory when measured in real terms, after accounting for building-cost inflation (BER BCI) of around 8%.

Rentals in decentralized nodes

Over the past year, grade-A rentals grew by about 4% in both Cape Town and Durban, while growing by 1% in Johannesburg. Rentals declined by 3% in Pretoria. Almost all cities recorded lower rentals compared to the first quarter, but not by more than 2%. This implies that no city managed to record above-inflation rental growth. Readers who subscribe to the sister publication Rode’s SA Property Trends, will know this is what we have been forecasting since a few years ago.

The graph that depicts nominal rentals in decentralized locations clearly shows that rental movements went onto a lower growth path from 2009/10 following the international financial crash. Analysts agree that the current crisis is worse, which doesn’t bode well for rentals in years to come. Below we discuss the current trends in the different cities in more detail.

Johannesburg decentralized grade-A rentals increased by only 1% year on year as mentioned above. Unsurprisingly, almost every node performed weaker than at the start of the year, as shown in the charts. Rosebank and Sandton saw rental growth of 2% and 1% respectively compared to a year ago, much weaker than in the first quarter. Rentals fell by up to 2% in Parktown and Randburg/Ferndale. The decentralized vacancy rate for grades A and B office space combined was already a high 13% in the first quarter of 2020 (see Chapter 6). The harsh reality is that contractual rentals in Johannesburg will head south on future reversions to market levels.

Declining real rentals indicate that new developments are becoming less viable, holding all other factors constant. Reflecting this reality, developments under construction and building plans in the pipeline have declined sharply on a national level (see Chapters 6 and 11 for more information regarding building activity).

Noteworthy in the accompanying graph is the downtrend in Parktown and Rivonia rentals.

Durban decentralized rental growth stayed at 4% year on year in nominal terms, propped up by solid rentals in La Lucia/Umhlanga. This implies that rentals again failed to outpace building-cost inflation. Rentals struggled in Berea, where vacancy rates moved up to 10,8% in the first quarter, above the 9% average of 2019. Durban decentralized rental growth will probably also move lower in the near term as more transactions are processed.

In the second quarter of 2020, Cape Town decentralized office rentals grew by 4% year on year in nominal terms, slowing from the 7% growth recorded in the first quarter. This was the slowest rental growth since the beginning of 2018 and was also the first time since that period that rentals grew slower than the building-inflation rate. However, compared to the rest of South Africa, Cape Town rentals still performed relatively better compared to a year ago.

Noteworthy is the underperformance of Tyger Valley since about 2015.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 32 Office rentals

Pioneer rentals

Table 5.1 shows the difference between pioneer rentals and grade-A market rentals as in the second quarter of 2020. This the reader can use as a rough indication of prospects for eventual market rental growth should the deus ex machina come down from the skies.

Pioneer rental levels often represent leases signed on newly erected on-demand buildings like leaseback developments, and these rentals inevitably reflect today’s building costs as developers naturally expect a fair initial yield on their development costs.

Thus, when the economy eventually climbs out of its current lethargy, market rentals will shoot up to levels closer to these pioneer rentals.

Note in Table 5.3 that the standard deviations are higher than under normal market conditions. We ascribe this to the extreme market uncertainty about what the market rental average should be in a node. It is also likely that standard deviations are larger in the nodes where landlords have had to provide significant discounts to keep tenants, causing a widening spread between the highest and lowest rentals.

This concludes our section on office rentals. The office rental tables follow.

Recap: nominal versus real rentals

The term “nominal” refers to money rentals, whereas the term “real” refers to nominal less inflation.

Rode mostly deflates nominal rentals using the Bureau for Economic Research’s Building Cost Index (BER BCI) to arrive at real rentals. The rationale for using building costs as deflator is the substitution principle and because building costs can serve as a proxy for replacement costs. To illustrate, why would you buy a property at R110 when you could have it built (replaced) for R100? When rentals are low relative to replacement costs, the upside potential for rentals is great and vice versa. Thus high real rentals (relative to previous periods) may be an indication of a market that is vulnerable to a downswing, and low real rentals indicate great upside potential.

Our sincere thanks to our expert panellists for the information they supplied. Codes of the brokers and landlords who contributed to this quarter's survey appear in the table on p. 33. An explanation of the codes can be found on p. xii.

Chapter 6: Office demand and vacancies

Vacancy rates heading higher Kobus Lamprecht

National office market vacancies continued to rise in the first quarter of 2020 amid recessionary conditions. We expect vacancy rates to increase sharply over the rest of 2020 and into 2021 as more companies close. Companies might also reduce their required space as more employees work from home on a permanent basis, leading to a prolonged oversupplied market. However, this impact will be offset somewhat by more space per employee required to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

A positive for landlords is that office space under construction has tapered off significantly to only 262 000 m² in the first quarter (see Table 6.3), while office building plans passed are continuing to decline sharply (Chapter 11). Projects under construction were halted in the first hard lockdown that started on 27 March and it is not clear how many of these projects have resumed in the second quarter. However, projects are expected to face lengthy delays, while some will be deemed unfeasible and be stopped permanently. The supply of space is only one side of the coin – the market also needs a strong demandrecovery to see sustainable growth in real rentals, which seems quite a few years away.

Nationally, decentralized vacancy rates for grades A and B offices combined averaged 11,1% in the first quarter of 2020, up from

10,6% in the fourth quarter of 2019. This was the worst vacancy rate since early 2004. Vacancy rates are moving further away from their 8% long-term average, as shown in the accompanying chart.

CBD vacancy rates also started to weaken again at the start of 2020, reaching almost 12% on average in the first quarter, largely due to Cape Town’s grade-A+ vacancy rate jumping to 29% as new unlet supply entered the market. Could the timing have been worse?

Please note that the first-quarter SAPOA data do not incorporate the dire impact on the office market stemming from the virus. Below we highlight the trends in the major cities.

Vacancy rates in the major cities

The Johannesburg decentralized vacancy rate for grades A and B office space combined in the first quarter of 2020 increased to 13% from 12,2% in the fourth quarter of 2019, continuing its weakening trend of the past four years.

Sandton’s average vacancy rate increased to 16,3% in the first quarter from 15,9% at the end of 2019. Sandton has a huge oversupply of office stock due to many developments hitting the market over the past few years. These new developments have led to higher grade-B (generally 10 to

20 years old) vacancy rates of 32% as tenants preferred the newer, shiny space. Positively, developments under construction totalled only about 40 000 m² in the first quarter of 2020 ̶ a far cry from the peak of 371 000 at the end of 2015. For more details on national office developments and pre-let rates, see Table 6.3 at the end of this chapter.

Rosebank’s vacancy rate stayed stable at about 18,5% in the first quarter, after rising significantly at the end of last year as a large amount of new unlet space came online. This pushed the grade-A+ vacancy rate up to 26%, a sharp contrast to Sandton, which still had a 9% grade-A+ vacancy rate. New office space under construction in Rosebank totalled 73 000 m² in the first quarter ̶ 28% of national developments and the most in the country. The pre-let rate of this space at the time was a high 86%.

The vacancy rate of the Waterfall node decreased slightly to 4%, the lowest in Johannesburg. New office space under construction here totalled 58 000 m² in the first quarter, with almost all pre-let.

Note the surge in vacancies in Illovo and Midrand.

The Pretoria decentralized vacancy rate of grades A and B offices combined remained about 10% in the first quarter of 2020. Highveld Technopark, the largest decentralized node in the city representing about a fifth of office stock, saw its vacancy rate improve to 9,3% from 10,7% in the fourth quarter. Centurion CBD, the second-biggest node, saw a sharp vacancy rate increase to 13% from 11,6%, while vacancy rates moved in the opposite direction in the Other Eastern suburbs/Route 21 node, as shown in the chart. Vacancy rates were the lowest in the small office nodes of Arcadia (3,7%) and Silver Lakes/The Willows (5%).

The vacancy factor in Hatfield – once the top node in the city – shows an ominous upward trend and its vacancy rate remains the highest in the city at about 19%.

Vacancy rates in Durban decentralized averaged 8,1% in the first quarter of 2020 a decrease from 8,8% in the fourth quarter as the vacancy rate of Umhlanga/La Lucia improved to about 8%. The vacancy rate of Westville, the second-largest decentralized office node in Durban after Umhlanga/La Lucia, also decreased to 6,5% from 7,4%. The vacancy rate of the small node of Hillcrest/Gillitts jumped to 9,3% after still averaging about 4% in the second half of last year. A positive aspect about Durban is that the 13 000 m² space under construction (in Umhlanga/La Lucia and Westville) was already about 90% pre-let in the first quarter.

The vacancy rate of Cape Town decentralized increased to 5,3% from 4,9% at the end of 2019, still the lowest of the major cities. This was largely due to Century City’s vacancy rate rising to 10,6% from 8,3% as more grade-B space became vacant. Claremont’s vacancy rate improved to 6,6% after a torrid few quarters during which supply increased.

The vacancy rates of the V&A Waterfront, Newlands/Rondebosch and Pinelands/Black River Office Park averaged a very low 2%. What is worrying is that developments under construction in Cape Town (30 000 m²; 12% of SA developments) had a pre-let rate of only 27% in the first quarter of 2020, even before Covid-19 became a crisis.

Chapter 7: Industrial rentals and vacancies

Industrial rental growth slows further

Kobus Lamprecht

It is hard to fully gauge property market trends due to the lack of transactions that took place during Rode’s May survey period. Our survey results show that the industrial market, like other property sectors, is also feeling the impact of the very weak economy, which has been dragged down further by Covid-19 since March 2020. Rental growth slowed to 1% year on year in the second quarter from 2% in the first quarter, with vacancies remaining higher than in 2019.

A positive aspect for the market is that domestic REITs exposed to industrial property have reported a high percentage of rental collections in April and May, especially those linked to logistics where rental collections were in the high nineties. This is because essential retailers have stayed open during the entire lockdown, still generating income. Other companies more severely hit by the virus-related lockdown have received rental holidays or steep discounts, but this appears to be the minority of cases.

Below we first discuss the major factors impacting the market before delving deeper into the rental performance of major industrial conurbations.

Major factors impacting the industrial market

Nominal industrial market rentals in South Africa grew by 1% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. This was weaker than the 2% rental growth in the first quarter and was the third consecutive quarter of slower growth after rentals still expanded by 6% in the third quarter of 2019. This implies that rentals increased at a slower rate than building-cost inflation (BER BCI), which grew by around 8% in the second quarter.

Rentals were virtually unchanged compared to first-quarter levels. We believe this is

reflective of the very thin market, with few transactions taking place during the lockdown. In fact, most of Rode’s industrial survey respondents said in May that first quarter 2020 data were still applicable. However, many cautioned that the impact of Covid-19 will be seen from the third quarter onwards. Leases that come up for renewal will likely see sharp downward rental reversions as most landlords will aim to keep tenants as the risk of finding good new tenants in this market is high. Vacancies are likely to rise in some cases where landlords are not flexible and can afford to lose tenants or where tenants simply go under.

Rentals have been impacted by the worsening performance of the manufacturing and retail sectors. The manufacturing sector underpins the demand for industrial space for manufacturing production purposes, whereas the retail sector underpins the demand for warehouse space and manufacturing.

The manufacturing sector is under increasing pressure, with official data from Stats SA showing that production declined by 3% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. This comes after production fell by about 1% in 2019. Business activity fell to an all-time low in April due to the strict lockdown but recovered somewhat in May due to the easing of lockdown measures. The outlook for the sector is very bleak due to poor global and domestic demand, largely stemming from Covid-19, while potential production gains in the future could be limited by electricity supply disruptions – not to mention the ever-growing debt burden of the state that is going to impoverish the next generation too, and so on.

The retail sector is also struggling, with real sales in the 12 months to March up only 1,5%. The year 2020 will be an extremely

Rode’s Report 2020:2 73 Industrial rentals and vacancies

difficult year for the retail sector because consumer spending will come under severe pressure as the economy is expected to contract sharply, compounded by the Covid-19 virus. The June Beeld consensus forecast of top economists pointed to an economy expected to contract by about 7% in 2020.

A positive for the industrial market is the ever-growing demand for a new-generation warehouse or distribution space. The drivers are:

Modern racking systems that makestacking heights of more than 12 metrespossible, thus requiring a new generationof warehouses. This has the potential ofmaking many existing distributioncentres outdated.

Online retail made up 1,4% of total retailsales, according to the findings of World-Wide Worx’s Online Retail in South Africa2019 study. Consumers could preferonline shopping due to the coronaviruscrisis, which will be beneficial to logisticassets. Indeed, logistic-focused REITs,like Equites, have performed quite well inthe lockdown period reporting that itcollected more than 90% of April andMay rent.

Another factor to consider is changes in business confidence as measured by the RMB/BER Business Confidence Index. The accompanying graph shows the strong inverse correlation between industrial property vacancies (national) and business confidence. Naturally, business decision makers can be expected to be hesitant to expand production capacity or storage space by renting more space when they are dissatisfied with prevailing business conditions. The “r²=0,7” shown in the graph implies that about 70% of the change in industrial property vacancies can be explained by changes in business confidence levels, with a lag of about one year. However, if one were to include additional determinants of vacancies in a regression model, the contribution of business confidence to industrial vacancies would be lower than the 70%.

Rode’s national vacancy factor increased to about 2,6 points in the first half of 2020 – the worst level in about two years. However, 2,6 points is still considered ‘low’ on Rode’s vacancy scale of 1-9, implying that less than

5% of industrial property was vacant at the time. Therefore, we are seeing weakening vacancy rates from a low level.

In the second quarter of 2020, only 5% of respondents surveyed by the BER were satisfied with prevailing business conditions – the lowest since the survey began in1975. The implication is that continued super-low business confidence could result in increasing industrial vacancies in the short term.

The higher vacancy rates led to weaker market rental growth of 1% in the second quarter of 2020, as can be seen in the chart.

Rental performance

As stated earlier, nominal industrial market rentals grew by 1% year on year in the first quarter of 2020, slowing from about 2% in the first quarter of 2020. This implies that rentals grew by less than the rate of building-cost inflation. In other words, rentals decreased in real terms.

National nominal rental growth for prime industrial space of 500 m² was the fastest in Cape Town at about 4% compared to a year ago. Rental levels stayed roughly the same in the East Rand but fell by 3% in the Central Witwatersrand.

Note in the graph that the East Rand and Central Witwatersrand have the lowest rental levels1 of the four conurbations shown. The exceedingly high rental levels in Durban could possibly be ascribed to one developer that dominates the supply side and maybe is not supplying enough to the market. But in Cape Town, the outperformance must be attributed to the strong demand before Covid-19 came along.

As a yardstick of potential future growth in market rentals, we compare pioneer rentals with prevailing market rentals for prime industrial premises of 1 000 m² as in the second quarter of 2020 (see Table 7.1 on the next page). Pioneer rental levels often represent (long) leases signed on newly erected on-demand buildings, and these rentals then reflect today’s building costs, as developers naturally expect an immediate fair income return on their development costs.

Thus, these rentals are an early indicator of the eventual level market rentals will reach once demand catches up with supply in the wake of hoped-for renewed economic growth sometime in the future.

Operating expenses are also an important factor to consider when assessing the profitability or viability of a property (see Table 7.5). Note, as always, that gross operating expenses exclude utility charges like electricity, water and sanitation, which are always for the account of the tenant. 

The remainder of this chapter includes: mean prime industrial rentals by

township; the standard deviations from these

mean rentals; indicative operating costs; and the predominant escalation rates.

This concludes our section on industrial rentals and vacancies. Note that our industrial tables follow.

The reference to real means that nominal prices have been deflated (i.e. adjusted for inflation). In this chapter, industrial rentals are deflated by the Bureau for Economic Research’s Building Cost Index (BER BCI). By using building costs as a deflator, the reader can interpret the graphs from a developer’s point of view, i.e. they can serve as a proxy for the viability of new developments over time, holding constant capitalization rates and operating expenses.

The industrial rental tables contain regression parameters to allow readers to interpolate rental rates for area sizes other than those given in the tables. These parameters are necessary because the relationship between rental rates and floor area is not linear. For more details on how to use these equations, refer to Annexure 3 on annexure page XII.

Readers are reminded that the vacancy figures in the graph above are not actual vacancy percentages, but rather graduations on a 1-9 vacancy scale. For more information, see the notes to the industrial tables on p.101. Furthermore, the vacancies are for all the unit sizes (250 m², 500 m², 1 000 m², 2 500 m² and 5 000 m²) combined, as surveyed by Rode. In reality, vacancies could differ across the different-sized units.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 101 Industrial rentals and vacancies

Notes to the industrial rental tables

1. The rentals are the achievable or market rates for the quarter shown in the table heading,and these apply to industrial and warehouse space for the area sizes indicated. The rentalsare the means (averages) of the rates as per our panels of experts in the various cities.

2. The rental rates assume gross leases, market escalation rates and leases of 3 to 5 years.

3. In terms of a gross lease, the tenant in a stand-alone building typically pays for only hisutilities, like refuse removal, water, sewerage and electricity, as well as internal maintenanceand maybe increases in rates and taxes. He provides and pays for his own security. All otherexpenses are for the account of the landlord. In a park, the tenant pays, in addition to hisgross rental, his pro rata share of security costs, security lighting and landscaping.

4. The rental rates also apply to the office portion, where this is less than 10% of the totalbuilding area. This means we quote ‘through rates’. (See Glossary – Annexure 1.) For largeroffice portions, the office rental is, as a rule of thumb, about 150% of the industrial rentalrate.

5. Prime space is space that is easily lettable because it satisfies each of the following qualitycriteria:

a. Generally, in a good conditionb. Satisfactory macro-access (i.e. access to freeway)c. Satisfactory micro-access (i.e. from street to building)d. Proper loading facilitiese. Eaves >6,0 m (excluding micro-/mini-units)f. On ground levelg. Adequate three-phase electrical powerh. Wide clear span of trusses (few internal pillars)i. Roof insulation.

However, a building may have additional enhancements that could improve lettability by increasing the size of the potential tenant pool. Such enhancements could include sufficient office accommodation, adequate parking, sprinkler systems, masonry up to sill height, adequate floor loadings and sufficient yard space.

6. Secondary space is space that is not classifiable as prime because it does not satisfy all nineprerequisites for prime space listed above. Such space is typically old buildings or structuresthat have been haphazardly renovated. They would have poor access, too little yard space oroffice accommodation, inadequate goods lifts, no three-phase power and obsolete electricsand ablution facilities. Such space is often (but not exclusively) found in highly urbanisedareas.

7. Vacancy scale for industrial nodes. The vacancy levels are based on a scale of 1 to 9 as shownbelow:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Low Medium High

The scale should be interpreted as follows: - 1 = low- vacancy 2 = low vacancy

Page 121: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

Rode’s Report 2020:2 102 Industrial rentals and vacancies

3 = low+ vacancy 4 = medium- vacancy 5 = medium vacancy 6 = medium+ vacancy 7 = high- vacancy 8 = high vacancy 9 = high+ vacancy

Where: low = <5% vacancy; medium = 5%-10% vacancy; high = >10% vacancy.

Please note that with effect from quarter 2 of 2019 we have changed the percentages corresponding with the vacancy factors. The previous percentages were:

low = <10% vacancy medium = 10-20% vacancy high = >20% vacancy.

8. For notes on how to use a regression equation to interpolate a rental rate, see Annexure 3.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 107 Industrial stand values

Chapter 8: Industrial stand values

Stand-value growth slows Kobus Lamprecht

Stand or land values tend to track industrial rental trends, which implies that poor market-rental growth translates into very poor stand-value growth, and strong market-rental growth results in very strong stand-value growth.

The explanation for this leveraging effect of rentals on stand values is demonstrated in the pro forma viability study depicted in Table 8.1. It shows how land values are estimated using the residual approach. Note the sensitivity of stand values to changes in market rentals. The principle is the same as financial gearing.

Stand-value performance

In the second quarter of 2020, stand values grew nationally by a year-on-year rate of 1% in nominal terms, slowing from 4% y-o-y growth in the first quarter of 2020. This implies that stand values declined substantially in real terms after adjustment for building-cost inflation (BER BCI) of around 8%.

Regionally, the Central Witwatersrand recorded nominal stand-value growth of 6%, the best of the major industrial conurbations, albeit slower than the 9% growth in the first quarter. Stand values rose by 4% in the East Rand, while growing by 1% in both Durban and the Cape Peninsula. These growth rates are

calculated on smoothed data. Note also, the y-scale (vertical scale) of the graphs is in log form. The advantage of this is that we can now reliably compare the growth rates of the cities with each other. It so happens the cities’ stand values run virtually parallel, meaning their trends (growth rates) have been about the same since about 2009.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 108 Industrial stand values

Table 8.1 Sensitivity of land value to changes in rent

A simplistic viability study Scenario

% change A B Market rent year 1 (net) R10 R12 +20% Capitalization rate 10% 10% MV on completion (net rent capitalized) R100 R120 +20% Construction costs -R60 -R60 +0% Profit margin* -R17 -R20 +18% Max value of land/stand† R23 R40 +74% * Assuming a constant profit margin of 20% of cost (i.e. construction costs and land costs)† Thus, land value is a residual item in this viability study: it is the maximum the developer can afford to pay for the land.

The remainder of this chapter includes market values for level, serviced stands in named industrial areas. The tables showing industrial land values contain regression parameters to allow readers to interpolate land values for area sizes other than those given in the tables. This is necessary because the relationship between price and square metreage is not linear.

Normally, the larger an industrial stand, the cheaper the stand value per square metre. However, we find this is not always the case,

most likely due to a shortage or an oversupply in certain size categories.

For more details on how to use these equations, refer to Annexure 3 (annexure page XII).

This concludes our chapter on industrial stand values.

PS: If you do not understand a term used in this article, please consult the Glossary (Annexure 1).

Rode’s Report 2020:2 134 Flats market

Chapter 9: Flats market

Flat rental growth slows further Kobus Lamprecht

Nationally, flat vacancy rates averaged 7% in the second quarter of 2020, up from 5,5% in the second quarter of 2019, according to Rode’s residential survey data, summarized in Table 9.1 and shown in the chart. This was also higher than the 6,1% vacancy rate of the first quarter, when Rode conducted its surveys in February. As no evictions were allowed in the second quarter, this could mean that vacancies rose in March and that flats available to rent increased. We delve deeper into the latter at the end of this chapter.

High and rising flat vacancy rates have led to slower rental growth, which in the

first quarter of 2020 averaged 3,2% on a year earlier – the slowest since at least 2009. This implies that rentals rose less than consumer and building-cost inflation. In other words, rentals are declining in real terms.

Second-quarter rental data are not yet available from Stats SA, but we expect rental growth to weaken further. Indluplace, the largest residential fund on the JSE with almost 10 000 residential units nationally (mostly in Gauteng), said in May that it was seeing no opportunity for rental increases this year.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 135 Flats market

Table 9.1Flat vacancies by city (%)

Average for all grades(standard & upmarket combined)

City 19Q2 20Q2 Johannesburg 6,1% 5,6%Pretoria 6,8% 14,5%Cape Town 5,4% 8,3% Durban 8,8% 12,1%Bloemfontein 0,7% 1,0%Stellenbosch 5,2% 6,7%George 2,4% 0,0% National (smoothed) 5,5% 7,0%

Source of data: Rode’s Time Series

On a city level, vacancy rates are also generally higher compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Pretoria (14,5%) and Durban (12,1%) were worst hit, with vacancy rates rising to double digits. Johannesburg’s vacancy rate was surprisingly better than a year ago, but it won’t last, given the challenges caused by Covid-19.

The reason for the lower national rental increases is primarily a huge increase in new rental stock combined with weakening demand. A positive for the oversupplied market is that new completions have declined considerably since the second quarter of 2019 and building activity came to a standstill for most of the second quarter due to the lockdown. Developers are also planning to build less, as can be seen in Chapter 11.

Flat vacancy rates will rise further in the short term as the sharp contraction in the economy, exacerbated by Covid-19, puts significant financial pressure on many tenants, leading to a prolonged oversupply. The number of people losing their jobs or experiencing salary cuts has already increased sharply since the lockdown started in the last week of March. This has led to only an estimated 73% of tenants paying their rent in June compared to 82% before the crisis, according to TPN (the

biggest credit bureau that tracks tenant payments).

Another factor that will drive vacancies higher is the increases in long-term rental stock as owners opt out of the short-term market, like Airbnb, due to the collapse in tourism stemming from lockdown regulations.

Evictions are not allowed under lockdown level 5 to 3, which implies that no tenant could be evicted since the lockdown started, unless a court rules that the eviction may take place during level 3. The number of tenants receiving eviction notices is on the rise, which implies that vacancies could rise substantially if the country moves to level 2 and lower.

Tenants that cannot afford their rent will downgrade to cheaper or smaller properties or shared accommodation or move in with family. Thus, for a growing number of landlords, the stark reality will be to choose between lower rentals or no rentals.

In the tables that follow, we provide the specific rental levels in the suburbs for the various grades of flats. Please note that the flat-rental data tend to be erratic due to the small sample size. Therefore, readers are advised to use an average of at least the last two quarters to obtain the latest rental rate.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 163 Flats market

Rode’s Report 2020:2 165 House market

Chapter 10: House market

House price growth weakens further

Kobus Lamprecht

The housing market is under increasing pressure, with national house price growth continuing to weaken. The latest data from FNB show that nominal house price growth slowed to 1,9% year on year in April 2020, down from 2,5% in March, and the lowest since end 2009. House prices grew by 2,6% in the first four months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2020, slower than the 3,6% growth recorded in 2019. This implies that prices have continued to decline in real terms after having taken out inflation.

Please note that the April data do not fully reflect the impact of the lockdown. This is because FNB’s index is constructed using mortgage approval data, and there is generally a lag between mortgage applications being submitted and approved. Approximately 60% of the April sample relate to applications that commenced before the lockdown.

The housing market is still a buyers’ market due to the oversupply, most significantly at the high end of the market where sales volumes have declined drastically. The very-low end of the market remains the best positioned as demand still exceeds supply (as far as we know!).

Below we briefly discuss the drivers of changes in house prices, before looking at how interest rate cuts and Covid-19 will possibly impact the housing market in the near term.

Drivers of changes in house prices

House prices correlate well with the value of residential mortgages granted over the long

term, with r² = 0,5, as shown in the chart. Unfortunately, no 2020 data for residential mortgages granted are available from the SARB, which makes gauging the severity of the downturn difficult.

The latest data we could find on home loan applications were from bond originator Betterbond. Its statistics showed that the number of applications (not the prices) declined sharply by 70% in April and fell by 30% in May, while June data looked better. But this is clearly the effect of the lockdown superimposed on the recession. If ever there has been a double whammy, this is it.

r²=0,5

A significantly correlated variable of residential mortgages granted is the leading business cycle indicator of the SARB, with r² = 0,5. This indicator reflects early stirrings in the economy, thus confirming that the fundamental driver of house prices is the economy. This indicator tanked by 5,1% in April 2020 compared to March 2020, the biggest drop between months since the 1960s. This bodes ill for the housing market.

Page 185: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

Rode’s Report 2020:2 166 House market

In the current cycle, it is unlikely that banks will relax their credit criteria further in respect of mortgage approvals. In the medium term, we expect the growth in the value of mortgages granted to head lower as effective demand1 from borrowers will be impeded by several factors:

A very weak, junk-rated economy. The economy has been in a recession since the third quarter of 2019 and is expected to contract by 6,5% in 2020, according to the June Beeld consensus forecast of leading economists. The economy will be negatively impacted by cyclical factors (such as the escalating SA fiscal crisis and the slumped world economy) and structural problems (like the quality of education and too few taxpayers). The other problem is that any sharp economic growth will be constrained by electricity supply disruptions, unless the capacity constraint can be miraculously overcome in a few years’ time under its new leadership.

The fiscal cliff.

The still-high ratio of household debt todisposable income. This ratio was at73% in the fourth quarter of 2019(latest) − up slightly from 72,7% in thefourth quarter of 2018.

1 Effective demand is a need the consumer can afford and is prepared to pay for.

Rising unemployment, worsened by theimpact of Covid-19. The unemploymentrate was already 30,1% in the firstquarter, before the crisis. Job prospectsin the medium term are poor, given thepoor outlook for the economy and theoverpopulated SOEs and public sector.Nedbank said in June 2020 that itexpects 1,6 million jobs to be lost in2020.

Rising utility costs that erode disposableincomes and the competitiveness of SAindustry.

A boost for the residential property market has been the sharp cut in short-term interest rates to the lowest in 50 years in the first half of 2020. The prime rate at the end of June 2020 stood at 7,25% ̶ 275 basis points lower than at the end of 2019. The interest rate cuts will be supportive of the market, but by far not enough to cancel out the deleterious effect of the recession, which has been compounded by Covid-19.

The strongest segment in the house market remains the more affordable houses under R1 million, and where there is no transfer duty. We also expect buyers will be moving down the price ladder due to affordability constraints, which should benefit the lower end of the market.

The weakest segment remains the luxury or top end of the market, partly as this segment was already significantly oversupplied before the crisis. Seeff said in June that it had recorded only four sales for the year to date for houses worth more than R20 million located along the Atlantic Seaboard in Cape Town. This compares to the boom time in 2016/17 when five houses were sold per month.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 167 House market

Investors who are financially geared will benefit from the decline in interest rates, but that benefit will be offset by weaker rentals and rising vacancies. Also, in the medium term, the interest-rate risk is high for these

investors, given South Africa’s parlous fiscal position and the weak rand, because this is a recipe for cost-push inflation to rear its ugly head – a type of inflation that is not beneficial for property prices.2

2 Cost push inflation is caused by rising prices of imports (through a weak rand), giving rise to import-parity pricing

in the local market, which in turn leads to demands for higher wages.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 168 Building activity and building costs

Chapter 11: Building activity and building costs

Building activity in the doldrums Kobus Lamprecht

Building activity in the property sector was significantly lower in the second quarter of 2020 compared to last year, with April the worst hit as Covid-19 brought the economy to its knees through the strict lockdown. Activity recovered somewhat later in the quarter, but still is at very low levels.

The outlook for building activity for the rest of the year and into 2021 is also very poor as property fundamentals, like vacancy rates and rentals, will weaken further given the sharp economic contraction expected in 2020. This makes new developments unviable or at best very risky. Our detailed discussion of trends in building activity and building-construction costs follows.

Building activity

To analyse building activity, we delve deeper into the SARB’s measure of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), building-construction data from Stats SA and building sector data from the BER at Stellenbosch University.

Source of data: SARB

The SARB’s measure of GFCF represents the real value of bricks and mortar being put in place in a given period like a quarter or a year. The latest data are still for 2019. GFCF in the non-residential sector fell by 12% in 2019 – the third consecutive yearly decline and the largest drop since 1992. As for the

residential sector, building activity declined by 4% in 2019 – the second consecutive yearly decline.

Compare this statistic with buildings completed, which reflect, at the date of completion, the total building cost expected at the time the building plans were passed by the municipality, which could be a few years earlier. For instance, a building worth R100 million completed in 2019 could reflect GFCF amounting to R25 million being put in place in 2019, R50 million in 2018 and R25 million in 2017 (see the figure). Thus the ‘buildings completed’ statistic is a lagging indicator – it reflects conditions and expectations in the property market that existed up to two or three years earlier. This is especially true of non-residential building construction. In contrast, GFCF reflects a more recent occurrence and is, therefore, less of a lagging indicator as it reflects only R25 million in 2019 in the example above.

Source: Rode & Associates

With this as background, we now turn to Tables 11.1 and 11.2, which reflect building plans passed and buildings completed per square metre as reported by local government institutions (ex Stats SA). Please note that these data do not incorporate the lockdown period, which started the last week of March.

Non-residential buildings completed increased by 23% in the 12 months to February 2020. All sectors saw sharp growth in buildings completed, with industrial space (+27%) increasing the most, as shown in Table 11.1. Office space completed increased by 22%, while shopping space completed rose by 16%. Buildings completed are evidently a lagging indicator!

Looking at potential future non-residential activity, plans passed in square metres declined by 14% in the 12 months to February 2020, with industrial buildings down the most (-16%). Plans passed for office space (-15%) and retail space (-7%) also decreased. Less new supply will provide vital support for the oversupplied non-residential property sector given the very weak demand prospects.

Residential buildings completed rose by 7% in the 12 months to February 2020 as

shown in Table 11.2. By drilling down, we see that this increase was caused by a 24% rise in completed flats and townhouses. However, the increase slowed down significantly from the second half of 2019 onwards. Residential building plans passed decreased by 21% in the 12 months to February 2020.

We now turn to more recent data provided by the BER in its second-quarter building survey released in June. A net 90% of respondents indicated that non-residential activity was lower compared to the second quarter of 2019. This is up from 64% in the first quarter of this year (see chart). Non-residential builder confidence fell to zero, implying that for the first time ever, all – yes, all – non-residential building contractors were dissatisfied with prevailing business conditions. However, the survey was conducted during the lockdown, so maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised about this outcome.

Building activity: Non-residential contractors

Source: BER

Building activity: Residential contractors

Source: BER

Turning to the residential sector, a net 92% of respondents reported lower activity in the second quarter of 2020 compared to a year ago (see chart). A record 91% also said the lack of new demand is a constraint to business, which does not bode well for future building activity.

Thus, the outlook for residential and non-residential building activity over the short term is poor due the serious slowdown in economic activity expected in 2020.

Building-construction costs

Tender prices (BER BCI), which include input costs (like labour and materials) and the profit margin of contractors, increased by 10% year on year in the second quarter of 2020, according to the BER. This appears very high considering the lack of demand in

the sector, but because of a lack of activity in the industry this figure is based on an extremely small sample. Also, it is likely that the higher costs are mostly Covid-19 related, like getting construction sites ready after the lockdown, and putting health measures in place so people can work safely. (See Annexure 6 for historical BCI data.)

Note that throughout this report we have used a smoothed version of the BCI to cater for volatility in the index. The “smoothed” BCI increase was around 8% in the second quarter of 2020.

Rode’s six-year forecast of building activity and building-construction costs, as well as other property-related variables, is provided in our sister publication Rode’s SA Property Trends.

Glossary of property and related terms and abbreviations

Arithmetic mean: The most often used measure of central tendency. It is the simple average of several observations. Mathematically, it is equal to the sum of all values divided by the number of observations. For example, the arithmetic mean of 6 and 7 is (6+7)/2. The arithmetic mean of 6, 7 and 8 is (6+7+8)/3; and so forth. Outlier observations may unduly affect the mean. In the Rode publications all references to the ‘mean’ or ‘average’ refer to the arithmetic mean, unless otherwise specified. See also geometric mean and median.

BER BCI: Bureau for Economic Research Building Cost Index. Measures pre-contract non-residential building-construction prices and as such it includes the profit margin of contractors. This index is one of the best indicators of the health of the building-construction industry. If it accelerates faster than input costs (measured by the Haylett Index), then contractors are stretching their profit margins as a result of sufficient work, and vice versa.

Building construction: the construction of buildings like houses, office blocks, factories, shopping centres, schools, hospitals. See also civil construction.

Bulk: Bulk square metres refer to the gross building area (GBA) of a building. According to The Sapoa Method for Measuring Floor Areas in Commercial and Industrial Buildings, GBA covers: “The entire building area, but it excludes patios, plant boxes, sun-screening, escape stairs, machine rooms, parking (basements or above ground), lift motor rooms, service rooms, caretakers’ flats, etc. GBA is mainly used by planning consultants in order to plan and execute a building in accordance with the permissible Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R) as derived from the zoning of the property. GBA is fixed for the life of the

building but it should be noted that different local authorities may interpret the National Building Regulations, which regulate the FAR definition, in a slightly different manner.” The market value of office and shopping-centre land is generally expressed as the value per bulk square metre.

Bulk head-lease: A lease that is signed with one party, which then sublets the space to other tenants.

Capitalization rate: see Standard Capitalization rate

CBD: Central business district or downtown. This is an area of concentrated high economic activity. The user may want to differentiate between the metropolitan CBD (e.g. the Johannesburg CBD) and a decentralized CBD (like the Sandton CBD).

Civils: colloquial for civil construction.

Civil construction: the construction of physical infrastructure like roads, bridges, dams, the laying of storm water pipes, electricity and water reticulation. See also building construction.

Cluster housing [trosbehuising]: Attached or detached residences grouped together in a community, normally secured by a fence and a (guarded) gate. In the stricter sense of the word, to be called cluster housing, a complex has to have common recreation areas like a swimming pool or private nature area. This layout normally results in a higher density than would be attained through a conventional subdivision layout. Tenure could be either full title (managed by a homeowners’ association) or sectional title (managed by

a body corporate). See also Estate housing. Cyclical trend: A short-term growth path of an economic variable. Normally refers to the business cycle, as distinct from a secular trend.

Dec: Decentralized. A Rode abbreviation. Town and regional planners differentiate between local decentralization (from the metropolitan CBD to the suburbs) and regional decentralization (to outlying areas of the country).

Deflation: Deflation occurs when prices are declining over time. This is the opposite of inflation and could be catastrophic. When the inflation rate (by some measure) is negative for a period, the economy is in a deflationary period. See also disinflation.

Deseasonalized: Seasonal fluctuations have been removed. In the case of retail sales, this is essential in order to be able to compare sales pertaining to different months of the year, as opposed to comparing sales of one quarter or month with the same quarter or month a year earlier.

Discount rate: The rate used to express an expected future cash stream in present-value terms. In most instances, the discount rate is equal to the hurdle rate. Mathematically, the hurdle rate of a property is the sum of its market capitalization rate plus the expected constant growth rate of its cash flow in perpetuity.

Disinflation: Disinflation occurs when the inflation rate is declining over time. See also deflation.

Duet house: Two attached single-family houses on one stand registered in terms of the Sectional Titles Act, which means the two units are sold and bought separately.

Escalation rate: The rate by which a rental is hiked once a year in terms of a lease. The ruling market escalation rate can be seen as an attempt by the market to forecast the growth in market rentals over the duration of the lease, but this attempt is obviously rarely successful. Thus, it is important to differentiate between an escalated rental and a market rental.

Estate housing [landgoedbehuising]: It is similar to Cluster housing, except that common-area leisure facilities are not a

requirement of the definition; not necessarily upmarket, although it does have an upmarket flavour.

Forward (income) yield: A bourse term, hence it is typically applied to listed properties. In the non-listed property market, its approximate equivalent is the capitalization rate. It represents the expected net income of year 1 (the following 12 months) divided by the current price/value. It stands to reason that existing leases would largely determine the net income of year 1. See also historic (income) yield.

Freehold title: The owner of the land enjoys free ownership in perpetuity (no land rental payable to a landlord) and can use the land for any purpose, albeit in accordance with the local regulations. Cf. Leasehold.

Full title (FT): The house or other type of building is part of an Estate or Cluster scheme and is built on a separate erf registered at the Deeds Office. The scheme is governed by a homeowners’ association rather than a sectional title body corporate. Thus, the term is used to distinguish it from Sectional title (ST). In theory, full-title homes could be built on Leasehold or Freehold land, although the former is unlikely in SA. It is, therefore, wrong to call ‘full title’ ‘freehold’, when it could in fact be full title on leasehold land; also, most, if not all, sectional title schemes are built on free-hold land.

Fundamental value (FmV): It is a subjective value based on the investor’s own, subjective forecast of rentals and maybe the investor’s unique or different in-house discount rate/capitalization rate. An FmV higher than the more objective market value (MV) is a buy signal to an investor.

The calculation of the FmV is especially indicated where the economy, or property market, changes gear, e.g. a secular change in inflation rate or the real-rental cycle bottoming out. These are instances where any market is notoriously poor at forecasting trends.

An alternative term is intrinsic value.

Geometric mean: A measure of central tendency calculated by multiplying the series

Page 193: rode.co.za · Editor-in-chief Erwin G. Rode Editor Kobus Lamprecht Survey administrator Samantha Harkers-Kies Advertising Lynette Smit 021 946 2480/082 323 5799 Subscriptions Juwayra

of numbers and taking the nth root of the product, where n is the number of items in the series. The geometric mean is defined only for sets of positive numbers. For example, the geometric mean of 6 and 7 is the square root of (6*7). The geometric mean of 6, 7 and 8 is the cube root of (6*7*8); and so forth. See also arithmetic mean and median.

Geometric mean return: It is also called the time-weighted rate of return or the average compounded rate of return. It is calculated by taking the geometric mean of a portfolio’s subperiod returns. Where there is a great variance in subperiod returns, this is a better return measure than the arithmetic mean return. Unlike the internal rate of return, it is not influenced by the timing and weights of money-flows.

Haylett index: A measure of the movement of all input costs in the building industry, most significantly material and labour costs. Other costs include plant and fuel. Designed to recompense the building contractor for in-contract rises in input costs. Does not include profit margins for contractors. Official designation: CPAP Haylett Formula (Work Group 180 & 181). Work Group 180 covers lump-sum domestic buildings and Work Group 181 entails industrial and commercial buildings. The Haylett index published in RR is obtained from the Medium-Term Forecasting Associates (MFA).

Historic or trailing (income) yield: A bourse term, hence it is typically applied to listed properties. It represents the net income of year 0 divided by the current price/value. See also forward (income) yield. In a market of rising net incomes, the historic yield would be expected to be lower than the forward yield.

Hurdle rate: The minimum total return (income yield plus expected capital appreciation) required by potential investors to induce them to invest in a property. Also known as the required rate. As such this is normally the correct rate to use when doing discounted cash flow (DCF) analyses. This is a similar concept to a company’s cost of capital, and it is not to be confused with the cost of money (say, overdraft interest rate). One way of measuring the total return on an investment, ex post or ex ante, is the internal rate of return (IRR) method. See

also discount rate.

Index: Describes the method of standardizing the base for comparative data in a time series, usually equating the initial measure to 100 and then expressing all other data in exact relation to that base. For instance, the index for office rentals in any year by comparison with a base-year value of 100 might stand at 90 or 110, indicating a fall or rise of 10% respectively.

Inclusionary housing: A housing programme that, through conditions attached to land-use rights approvals, requires private developers to dedicate a certain percentage of new housing developments to low-income and low-middle-income households, or to households that may not otherwise afford to live in those developments. Source: City of Johannesburg, Inclusionary Housing: Proposed Amendments, 2 August 2018

Industrial-building grades:

Prime: An industrial property (including warehouses and distribution centres) in which space is easily lettable because it satisfies each of the following prerequisites:

a. Generally, in a good condition;b. Satisfactory macro access (i.e. access

to freeway);c. Satisfactory micro access (i.e. from

street to building);d. Proper loading facilities;e. Eaves >6 m (excluding micro/ mini

units);f. Wide clear span of trusses (few

internal pillars);g. On ground level;h. Adequate three-phase electrical

power.i. Roof insulation

The nine conditions above are pre-requisites for space to be considered prime. However, a building may possess additional enhancements that could improve lettability through increasing the size of the potential tenant pool.

Such enhancements could include sufficient office accommodation, adequate parking, sprinkler systems, masonry up to sill height, adequate floor loadings and sufficient yard space.

Secondary: This is industrial spacewhich is not classifiable as prime

because it does not satisfy all nine

prerequisites for prime space listed above. Such space is typically old buildings or structures, which have been haphazardly renovated. It would have poor access, too little yard space or office accommodation, inadequate goods lifts, no three-phase power and obsolete electrics and ablution facilities. Such space is often (but not exclusively) found in highly urbanised areas.

Comparative grading nomenclature of industrial and office space Industrial Offices

Prime + APrime BPrime - CSecondary D

Industrial park: An industrial park is a multi-tenanted complex of industrial buildings, typically surrounded by a security fence with access control and possibly some greenery.

Initial yield: The first year’s expected net operating income (based on existing leases and other income reasonably expected) divided by the purchase price. Therefore, the initial yield and the capitalization rate are only the same in those rare cases where a building is let at open-market rentals.

Internal rate of return (IRR) [interne rentabiliteit]: A performance measurement that takes cognisance of the time-value of money. Technically, it is that rate which equates the inflows with the outflows of a cash flow. Also known as the money-weighted rate of return because the timing and weights of the money-flows influence the return. Cf. geometric mean return.

JSE: JSE Securities Exchange South Africa.

Labour tenant: A person who works on a commercial farm in exchange for the right to live on that farm without compensation, as well as the right to work a portion of that farm for himself.

Leaseback: A fully repairing and insuring lease (tenant pays all operating costs) for 10 years or longer (with typically 5-yearly rent reviews or fixed annual escalations) with a tenant with a strong covenant.

Leasehold land: The leaseholder (land-lord) grants the Lessee a long lease on the land (in South Africa, typically 40-99 years), in exchange for which the tenant pays a rent stream to the landlord. At expiry of the lease, the land (together with the improvements) reverts to the leaseholder. This type of tenure is not common in South Africa, but since 1994 the government seems to prefer it when disposing of state land. Cf. Freehold.

Lessee: A tenant to whom space or land is rented under a lease. Cf. Lessor.

Lessor: A landlord that lets space to another under a lease. Cf. Lessee.

Market rental: The estimated amount for which a property would be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. [Source: International Valuation Standards, 2020]

Market value: The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction, after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. [Source: International Valuation Standards, 2020]

The MV is an objective value in that the crucial value determinants are largely derived from the marketplace. See also price and fundamental value.

Mean: See arithmetic mean; median; geometric mean.

Median: Midpoint of a series of observations when arranged in order of magnitude. Thus, it is a measure of central tendency that divides the data set into halves. Less affected by outlier observations than the arithmetic mean. For example, the median of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is 7. And for 5, 9, 15, 16, 17, 21, 23 the median is 16. Cf. geometric and arithmetic mean.

Metro: Metropolitan.

MFA: Medium-Term Forecasting Associates, building-construction economists located in Stellenbosch.

n: Number of respondents.

N/A: Not available — fewer than two respondents.

NNN lease: Also known as a triple-net lease. A fully repairing and insuring lease (tenant pays all operating costs). The commonest example is a Leaseback. Office-building grades defined by quality of finishes and facilities (not location):

Grade A+: Generally, new, top-quality,modern buildings; ample parking; a pace-setter in establishing rentals, a prestigiouslobby finish. A minimum 4-star rating byGBCSA is a prerequisite.

Grade A: Generally, not older than 10years, unless renovated; high-qualityfinishes; adequate on-site parking; air-conditioning.

Grade B: Generally, 10 to 20 years old,unless renovated; accommodation tomodern standards; air-conditioning; on-siteparking.

Grade C: Generally, 20 to 30 years old,unless renovated; in fairly good condition,although finishes are not up to modernstandards; may have some on-site parking;unlikely to be centrally air-conditioned.

Grade D: A building reaching the end of itsfunctional life but can be used for storage;old and in poor condition; near the bottomof the rental rate range; typically, no air-conditioning and no on-site parking; mayhave good location.

These grades might be further sub-divided into sub-grades, viz. A-, B+, B-, C+ or C- for purposes of fine-tuning market rental rates.

In every issue of Rode’s Report (RR), we reflect rentals for the following sub-grades:

A+ Reported in RR tables A Reported in RR tables A- B+ B Reported in RR tables B- C+ C Reported in RR tables C-

Sub-grades not reported on, can be established by straight-line interpolation.

This schema has been appearing in Rode’s Report since 1995. At a later stage, Sapoa (following the Australian example) changed the name of grade A+ to P grade (for ‘premium’). As the reader will see, the P-name does not fit in with the above schema, and for this reason, we did not follow the Sapoa nomenclature.

The vigilant reader will notice that, in contrast to Sapoa, we do not include ‘location’ as a determinant of grading. Our point of departure is that the grading should only reflect quality of finishes and facilities. However, location does of course play a role in determining market rental rates, which is why we in RR we report on market rental rates by node (and grade).

Node: In real estate, a node is an area of intensified commercial activity, including shops and offices. In South Africa, industrial townships are also often called nodes, although this practise is not recommended.

Office demand: Office stock less office space vacant (space on the market for renting irrespective of whether there is still a valid lease over the space). In other words, demand is office space occupied.

Office stock: Total rentable office space.

Office take-up: Change in office demand. Where take-up is positive, it can also be called the growth in demand.

Office vacancies: This is the floor area available for leasing at any given time, irrespective of whether there is still a valid lease over the space. Often expressed as a percentage of the stock in rentable m².

Operating costs: See outgoings.

Opportunity cash flow (OCF): A valuation term introduced by Rode. The OCF quantifies the amount gained or foregone by the landlord in that the property is either over rented or under rented. More precisely, for each lease and the space that such a tenant occupies, it is, until expiry of such a lease, the present value (PV) of the contractual rental less the open-market rental (as at the valuation date) escalating at the open-market escalation rate (as at the valuation date).

Outgoings (gross operating costs): In the case of office buildings, the following items are included under total gross operating expenses, irrespective of who pays for these:

Rates & taxes Cleaning of common areas External and common-area repairs &

maintenance (normalized, i.e. averaged) Common-area electricity Security Management fee (excluding head office

overheads) All leasing expenses: broker’s commission

and in-house payroll, advertising, nettenant alteration costs (normalized)

Installation or relocation expenses (unlessrecovered), buyouts, etc

Insurance (fire & SASRIA). In the case ofself-insurance, the market average shouldbe included

Audit fees

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE EXCLUDED:

Head office overheads Tenants’ own electricity, water, refuse and

sewage tariffs Recovered tenant alterations or

installations. VAT.

Price: The amount actually paid for an asset. Not the same as market value, because special circumstances may have applied when the transaction was con-cluded (cf. the definition of market value).

PLS: Property loan stock, also known as variable loan stock (VLS) (type of listed property fund). (historic)

PUT: Property unit trust (type of listed property fund). (historic)

REIT: A REIT is an entity that invests primarily in real estate and qualifies for special tax status in that there is single taxation at the end-investor (not the fund) level. The Dutch term ‘fiscale beleggings-instelling’ (FBI) stresses the tax characteristic. The FBI is the world’s oldest fiscally transparent investment structure for property (since 1969). Source: https://www.vastgoedmarkt.nl, published 16/11/2017.

Rental: Basic rental (base rental in the USA):

A set amount used as a minimum rent in

a lease which also employs a percentage of turnover or other allocation for additional rent.

Gross rental: The total rental payableby the tenant, excluding VAT, thetenant’s own electricity and other utilitycharges, but including other operatingcosts (see Outgoings) recovered bythe landlord, such as rates and taxes.In the case of case of shopping centres,promotion expenses is included in thegross rental. See also rental, net.

Net rental: The amount payable by thetenant, excluding VAT and excluding operating costs recovered by the landlord (if any). See also rental, gross.

Nominal rental: This has a dualmeaning:o Firstly, it refers to rentals where

the analyst or valuer assumes noincentives like a rent-free period,free relocation, cash upfront, or

o balance-of-installation allowance. Italso excludes amortisation of tenant-installation costs.

o Secondly, it can also mean actualrental values (i.e. not deflated). Seealso rental, real.

Parking types: Detached open parking: parking bay is

detached from the main building and withno cover.

Detached shade-net parking: parking bayis detached from the main building withshade-net cover.

Detached covered parking: parking bay isdetached from the main building and hasa solid roof.

Structured parking: parking formsinherently part of a structure (forinstance, the main building). It couldbe in the basement, in an abuttingparkade or on the rooftop (where it couldbe open or covered).

Pioneer rental: The highest rentalachieved – and could be a once-off outlierdeal; hence “pioneer” is not “market”.The difference between pioneer andthe highest market rentals may beused as a blunt tool to gauge theprospects for market rental growthin the short term. If the differentialis positive, it is an indication of growthprospects in the node. If the differentialis negative, it is an indication thatlandlords are finding it difficult to findnew tenants at the asking rental rate.

Real rental: Deflated rental, typicallyobservations (values) over time (a time

series) from which the relevant inflationhas been removed. See also rental,nominal.

Rent-free period: No rent is payable by the tenant for an initial portion of the term of a lease. It is offered by a landlord as a rental concession to attract tenants. Measure the rent-free period at the start of beneficial occupation.

Required rate of return: see hurdle rate.

Retail price: In the context of property syndication, this means the price at which a property-holding company’s shares are sold to the public or the price at which these shares trade. See also wholesale value.

SARB: South African Reserve Bank (viz. the central bank)

Sectional title: A type of property ownership method whereby ‘sections’ of a building, or a complex of buildings, are created to allow for each ‘section’ of the building to be individually owned. In Australia it is known as ‘strata title’, and in North America and Europe as ‘condo-minium’ (condo) (also, Eigentumswoh-nung in Germany).

Secular trend: A long-term growth path of an economic variable, around which there might be short-term (business cycle) or other fluctuations. See also cyclical trend.

This calculation ignores VAT, transfer duty and income tax, and assumes a cash transaction (in contrast to a paper-based sale).

Standard deviation (SD): A measure of dispersion in a set of data. For instance, assume a normal distribution of observations and a mean of R10 and an SD of R1,50. This means there is a 68% chance the values will lie between R10- R1,50=R8,50 and R10+R1,50=R11,50.

Total return: Normally measured over a year, in which case it is the income yield for the applicable year (net income in year 1 divided by the purchase price or value in year 0) plus the change in capital value over that year. Also known as the combined return because it combines the income yield and capital return in one measure.

Town house [meenthuis]: A modern town house has a small footprint on multiple floors. In the UK it is known as a terraced house. Town houses are often found in cluster complexes.

Triple-net lease: see NNN lease.

VAT: value-added tax.

WALE: Weighted average lease to expiry. A metric to gauge the risk of a portfolio of properties going vacant. Measured in years.

Wholesale value: In the context of property syndication, this means the estimated price that a share or shares of a syndicated property-holding company would fetch (excluding winding-up costs) should the holding company be dissolved, and the underlying property sold as a normal, non-syndicated property. See also retail price.

Year-on-year (y-on-y) growth: Rate by which a figure has changed compared to a year earlier.

Rode’s Report 2020:2 Annexure 2X

Technical background to the Rode surveys Rode has been surveying the crucial variables of the property market in South Africa since the beginning of 1988 using the expert-panel method. Broadly speaking, the researcher has two potential approaches available to him. These are:

o Track actual transactions, like therental levels of lettings or thecapitalization rates at which sales areconcluded. Valuers (appraisers) callthese ‘comparables’.

o The expert-panel method of surveying,in which the surveyor regularly asks thesame individual members of the panelfor their expert opinions, which in turnwill of course be based on actual dealsof which the panellists are aware.

The cons of tracking actual transactions are: o A paucity of transactions in most nodes,

making statistical inferencesimpossible.

o Hence the danger of relying on outlierdata (mainly the result of smallsamples)

o Dated transactionso The costo The unwillingness of the parties to

report the details of individual deals.

In contrast, through the expert-panel method of research, most of the above cons of the actual-transactions approach are addressed through opinion surveys. This results in cheaper, more accurate and timely information. Sample size is still (and will always be) a problem in some of the less active nodes, but to a lesser extent.

Below we give the reader some insight in our survey approach to determine the levels of the various property variables:

Capitalization rate: The Rode capitalization rate panel consists of two categories of panellist — major owners, and

leading investment brokers who know their market segments intimately. This means that the latter's knowledge is based on actual sales. The question put to these carefully chosen panellists is:

Owners/Brokers: “In your opinion, what is presently the capitalization rate at which your organization is equally happy to buy or sell the properties in the cities below? (Assume a typical location and a cash sale, rather than paper.). For leasebacks, assume the escalation rate reported by you in this questionnaire.”

Escalation rate (for industrial lease-backs). The question put to the panellists is:

Owners/Brokers: “In your opinion, what is the current prevalent (i.e. most often achieved) market escalation rate for prime industrial leasebacks (assume the market capitalization rate you provided in this questionnaire)?”

Office rentals: The Rode office rental survey asks respondents to supply average market rentals by grade (grades A+, A, B & C) for a specific office node.

The question put to the panellists is:

“In your opinion, what is presently the nominal gross achievable/market rental (not asking rent, not escalated contractual rents, not exceptional deals) per rentable m² excluding VAT?” The questionnaire also asks for the typical rent-free period in months, the gross current-year operating costs per rentable m² and the predominant escalation rate on net & gross rentals, and operating costs.

‘Nominal’ rental means the panellist has to assume no incentives like a rent-free period. Industrial rentals: The question put to panellists is: “In your opinion, what are the current gross achievable/market rentals per m² (NOT asking rent, NOT exception deals, NOT

Rode’s Report 2020:2 XI Annexure 2

escalated contractual rents) for prime industrial buildings for the industrial nodes and floor-area sizes indicated below? (Exclude VAT.)”

The assumed floor area sizes are: 250 m², 500 m², 1 000 m², 2 500 m² and 5 000 m². Respondents are also asked to fill in their vacancy estimate for prime industrial space, using a scale of 1 to 9. See the table below for detail on the vacancy scale.

Vacancy scale for industrial nodes

<5% 5 – 10% >10%

1 2 3 Low

4 5 6 Medium

7 8 9 High

Thus, the reported vacancies do not represent percentages.

Industrial land values: The question put to panellists is:

“In your opinion, what are the current

market values per m² (NOT asking price, NOT exception deals) for vacant, serviced levelled stands in the industrial nodes and for the stand sizes indicated below? Exclude transfer costs and VAT. Provided you are well informed, please give us your opinion even though you might not have concluded a sale for the exact sizes.”

The information is required for stand sizes of 1’000 m², 2’000 m², 5’000 m² and 10’000 m².

Flat rentals: The question put to panellists is:

“In your opinion, what are the current market rentals (not asking rent) for new lettings for uncontrolled standard and upmarket flats in the following categories and areas? The rental data required is for unfurnished flats, excluding water and electricity. Parking is typically included.”

Respondents are asked to provide rentals for bachelor, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units. Note that the flat rentals are not quoted per m².

Rode’s Report 2020:2 XII Annexure 3

How to interpolate industrial rental rates and land values

The industrial rental and land value tables in the body of the RR contain regression equations in natural log (ln) form in order to allow the reader to interpolate rental rates or industrial land values for area sizes other than those given in the tables. (All references below are to the industrial rental tables. However, they also apply mutatis mutandis to the industrial land value table.)

The regression equations are in natural log (ln) form because the relationship between the rental rates and area sizes leased, is curvilinear. This means that the rental rate for area sizes other than those quoted cannot be calculated by straight linear interpolation. In order to calculate the rental rate for an area size other than those quoted, use the following equation from the tables:

ln Y = a + b(ln X), where: ln Y = the natural log of the rental rate, i.e. the value which we want to calculate. ln X = the natural log of the applicable floor area in m² for which we want to calculate the market rental rate.

Note that a and b are given in the table. The coefficient of determination r2 is an indication of the goodness of fit of the curve, i.e. how much confidence we can

put in the interpolation we want to perform. An r2 close to 1 is a good fit.

An example:

Interpolate a rental rate for an area size other than those quoted in the table — e.g. for an area of 750 m². Use your financial calculator and proceed as follows:

Assume the following equation:

ln Y = 3,8855 — (0,2263 (ln X)) where X = 750 m².

Step 1: Calculate the natural log of X, viz. the floor area for which you want to interpolate the market rental rate. The natural log of a floor area of 750 m² is 6,6201 (use the ln key of your financial calculator).

Thus:ln Y = 3,8855 — (0,2263 (6,6201))

= 3,8855 — 1,4981 = 2,3874

Step 2:

In order to calculate Y, get the exponential of ln Y (viz. of 2,3874) by using the ex key on your financial calculator. The answer is R10,89 per m².

Approximate building cost rates as at 1 July 2019 Source: AECOM AFRICA PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION COST GUIDE 2019/20

This section provides a list of approximate inclusive building cost rates for various building types in South Africa.

Rates are current to 1 July 2019, and therefore represent the average expected building cost rates for 2019. It must be emphasised that these rates are indicative only, and should be used circumspectly, as they are dependent on upon several assumptions. The area of the building expressed in m² is equivalent to the ‘Construction Area’ where appropriate, as defined in the ‘Method for Measuring Floor Areas in Buildings, Second Edition’ (effective from 7 November 2007), published by the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA).

Construction cost normally vary between the different provinces of South Africa. Costs in parts of the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, specifically upper-class residential, for example, are generally significantly higher than in Gauteng due to the demand for this type of accommodation. Rates have, therefore, been based on data received from Gauteng, where possible. Be mindful that cost differences between provinces at a given point in time are not constant, and may vary over time due to differences in supply and demand or other factors.

Rates include the cost of appropriate building services, e.g. air-conditioning, electrical, etc. but exclude costs of site infrastructure development, parking, any future escalation, professional fees and value-added tax (VAT).

Rode’s Report 2020:2 XVIII Annexure 4

Notes

1. Regional variations: Construction costs normally vary between the different provinces ofSouth Africa. Costs in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, specifically upper classresidential, for example, are generally significantly higher than Gauteng due to the demandfor this accommodation.

2. Value added tax (VAT): As the majority of developers are registered vendors in the propertyindustry, any VAT on commercial property development is fully recoverable. Therefore, toreflect the net development cost, VAT should be excluded. Should the gross cost (i.e. afterVAT inclusion) be required, the VAT at the ruling rate (currently 15%) should be added.

Cognizance should be taken, however, of the effect of VAT on cash flow over a period oftime. This will vary according to the payment period of the individual vendor. In all cases,however, it will add to the capital cost of the project to the extent of interest on outstandingVAT for the VAT cycle of the particular vendor.

3. For guidance with regard to the cost of buildings rated under the Green Star South Africarating tool system, see the latest edition of the AECOM publication entitled “Quick Guideto Green Design Attributes.”
