WARNING! AGAINST RABIE PROPERTY GROUP

**Rabie Property Developers - A Cautionary Review**

I feel compelled to share my experience to warn potential buyers considering Rabie Property Developers. When purchasing your property, ensure that your conveyancing attorney includes a clause stating you will not be responsible for any costs beyond what was agreed in the purchase contract.

My husband and I moved into Junixe Estate in February 2024. On moving day, we were instructed to take a picture of our water meter and were told that from that point forward, the water bill would be our responsibility. We diligently paid our bills on time each month. However, a year later, 96 property owners received a total outstanding water bill from the City of Cape Town amounting to R922,817.73.

The HOA property management group, Marite, was aware of this bill but claimed they were waiting for readings. It's worth noting that our sprinkler systems have been off since October 2024 and have not been used since. Rabie expects us to be grateful for contributing R417,236.26 towards this bill, We are forced to cover the mistakes of Rabie and Marite, which is unacceptable. We are not the first estate they did this to, they have done it to other estates.

To all investors and buyers, please take my advice: **Include a clause in your agreement that states you will not accept any additional charges beyond what was agreed at the time of purchase.** Consider this a warning.
