You could get a health profit by selling your home at this time while the property market is hot, but remember you'll need to spend about the same for a home of similar size and in a similar location.
There is another way to access that pot of gold your house currently sits on. You can unlock the value of your property by staying right where you are.

Advancements on your
So for example, your home was initially valued at R250 000 and your home loan at the time was R250 000 and your property has since be revalued to be worth R500 000 - you will be entitled an extra R250 000 on your home loan.
It doesn't matter whether you want to use the equity in your home to make an investment or to splurge on consumer goods - banks generally lend subject to the normal credit criteria: whether you can afford the monthly repayments.
