Estate Life Publishing (Pty) Ltd was launched in 2018 to fill the gap for a magazine that speaks to the needs, interests and challenges common to residents in gated communities.

The magazine addresses issues typically experienced in any residential housing community, from luxurious lifestyle estates to smaller sectional title complexes such as the many issues that fall under neighbour law (noise, pets, property encroachment, etc.) and guidance on why, when and how to use the Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS).

Expert articles addressing common misconceptions concerning general safety, the limitations of insurance, the freedom (and limitations) of Home Owners Associations to levy fines and questions such as ‘Who owns our roads?’ will provide extremely valuable insight into the privileges and responsibilities that come with the sharing of common property in residential communities.

Any home owner also needs down-to-earth, practical advice on all the things that make a house a home.  Estate Life will include ‘How to fix it’ articles, from burst geysers, to drought-stricken gardens and crazy pets, while veteran humourist, James Clarke, will cheer readers with stories that bring a smile to their face.

Home improvements, property news and lifestyle articles add to the package of carefully crafted content that make Estate Life an overall, satisfying read for home owners.
