Selling a property involves more than simply finding a buyer and signing an offer to purchase. Depending on the property and its installations, certain compliance certificates may be required before transfer can take place.
Selling Your Property and Need Compliance Certificates?
We can inspect the relevant installations and assist with the compliance process.
Electrical Certificate of Compliance (Electrical COC)
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance relates to the electrical installation at the property.
During an inspection, relevant accessible parts of the installation may be checked, including the distribution board, wiring, plug points, earthing, bonding and safety devices.
If problems are identified, corrective work may be required before certification can be completed.

What Happens If a Property Fails a Compliance Inspection?
Finding a problem does not necessarily mean the property cannot be sold.
The process will generally involve:
- Inspecting the relevant installation.
- Identifying any problems that need attention.
- Completing the necessary corrective work.
- Checking the work where required.
- Issuing the relevant certificate once the applicable requirements have been met.
Starting the process early gives you more time to deal with any problems that may be found.

Can Compliance Problems Delay a Property Transfer?
They can. If required certificates are outstanding or corrective work is needed, this may affect the timing of the transaction.
Common issues can include:
- Electrical faults or non-compliant installations
- Plumbing leaks
- Geyser installation problems
- Drainage or stormwater issues
- Gas installations requiring attention
Arranging inspections before the final stages of the transfer can help identify potential problems earlier.
