Local Rules Matter

📍 NOT EVERY PROPERTY COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT IS THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

When buying or selling property in South Africa, it is important to understand that some compliance requirements can depend on where the property is situated.

Certain municipalities may have additional requirements relating to water or plumbing installations, while the terms of the Offer to Purchase may also place specific obligations on the parties.

That is why buyers and sellers should never simply assume that the certificates required for one property will automatically be identical for another.

Before transfer, establish:

• Which compliance certificates apply to the property
• Whether any municipal requirements apply
• Who is responsible for obtaining each certificate
• What the Offer to Purchase says about compliance documentation

The property, the location and the sale agreement all matter.

Louwrens Coetzer & Vennote | Partners can assist you in understanding the legal and conveyancing requirements applicable to your property transaction.

Gas & Electric Fence CoCs

🔥⚡ GAS OR ELECTRIC FENCING AT THE PROPERTY? MAKE SURE THE RIGHT COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION IS IN PLACE.

Not every system in a home falls under the same Certificate of Compliance.

If a property has a gas installation or electric fencing, those installations may have their own compliance requirements and should be inspected and certified by the appropriately authorised or registered person responsible for that particular type of installation.

For sellers, this means identifying the relevant systems on the property early.

For buyers, it means understanding which certificates should form part of the transaction and what those certificates relate to.

The conveyancing attorney manages the legal transfer process, but the technical inspection and certification remain the responsibility of the qualified person issuing the relevant CoC.

Don’t wait until transfer is already under pressure to establish what is required.

Contact Louwrens Coetzer & Vennote | Partners for guidance regarding the conveyancing process when buying or selling property.

Electrical CoC: Don’t Leave It Until the Last Minute

⚡ SELLING YOUR HOME? DON’T LEAVE THE ELECTRICAL CoC UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is an important part of many South African property transactions and confirms that the electrical installation has been inspected against the applicable safety requirements.

For sellers, arranging the inspection early gives you time to deal with any defects that may be identified before they become a last-minute obstacle in the transfer process.

Remember, the purpose of the inspection is not simply to obtain a piece of paper. The electrician issuing the certificate is responsible for inspecting and certifying the electrical installation concerned.

If you are preparing to sell your property, speak to your conveyancer early so that you understand what documentation will be required and when.

BUYING OR SELLING A HOME? KNOW YOUR CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE.

Certificates of Compliance, commonly referred to as CoCs, can form an important part of a South African property transaction.

Depending on the property, its installations, location and the terms of the sale agreement, compliance certificates may be required for matters such as:

• Electrical installations
• Gas installations
• Electric fencing
• Water or plumbing requirements where applicable

For sellers, dealing with the necessary inspections and certificates early can help avoid unnecessary complications during the transfer process.

For buyers, it is important to understand which certificates apply to the property and what each certificate actually confirms.

⚖️ NOTE TO BUYERS

The conveyancing attorney is not responsible for issuing a Certificate of Compliance or for the technical outcome of the inspection.

The electrician, plumber, gas practitioner or other appropriately qualified person who inspects the relevant installation and issues the CoC is responsible for assessing and certifying the work or installation concerned.

The conveyancer’s role is to manage the legal transfer process and deal with the compliance documentation required for the transaction. The technical certification itself remains the responsibility of the person or contractor issuing the certificate.

If you are buying or selling property and are unsure which compliance certificates may be required, speak to Louwrens Coetzer & Vennote | Partners early in the process.

What Can Delay a Property Transfer?

“WHEN WILL MY PROPERTY TRANSFER?”

It is one of the most common questions buyers and sellers ask.

The answer is not always as simple as choosing a date.

Property transfer involves several parties, payments, documents and processes. Delays can arise from matters such as:

• Outstanding finance requirements
• Missing documents
• Municipal requirements
• Bond cancellation
• Transfer duty matters
• Tax compliance issues
• Outstanding signatures or payments

One of the simplest ways to help keep your transaction moving is to respond promptly when your conveyancer asks for information, documents or payment.

Instead of asking only:

“When will transfer happen?”

Also ask:

“Is anything currently outstanding from me?”
