The Dream Home Trap: Are South African's Buying Property They Cannot Afford ?

Loading player...
For many South Africans, owning a home remains the ultimate symbol of success, stability and security. But behind the dream of property ownership lies a growing reality families taking on overwhelming debt, stretching themselves financially to renovate, upgrade or maintain lifestyles they can no longer afford. Beyond the numbers, there is also a more uncomfortable conversation around financial control within households, where one partner may use money and property decisions as a tool of power. Joining us is real estate agent Raees to discuss the
hidden financial pressures facing homeowners and what families need to consider before signing on the dotted line.
