Selling Your complete guide to compliance certificates

Selling Your complete guide to compliance certificates

Author: Pranil Maharaj
Date: 2017-05-19

Putting a home up for sale takes some preparation on the seller's part.

Sellers need to have all of their compliance certificates in order before taking the step of listing their home on the market.

1. Electrical Certificate of Compliance

Legislation stipulates that every homeowner should be in possession of a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC) when selling their home.

2. Electric Fence System of Compliance Certificate

3. Gas Certificate of Compliance

4. Beetle Infestation Clearance Certificate

Although it is not a mandatory requirement, it has become standard practice that a seller provides the buyer with a beetle clearance certificate.

In fact, in many coastal areas, he says a beetle clearance certificate has become a written condition in the sales agreement.

The beetle clearance certificate is only issued once the property has been inspected for any visible signs of wood destroying insects and deemed to be free of any such insects. The certificate is valid for three to six months.
