Compliance certificates confirm your property meets legal safety standards. They are typically required before transfer on Howick and Midlands sales.

• Electrical COC – valid for 2 years, covers electrical installations
• Plumbing certificate – required in some municipalities
• Beetle certificate – confirms no wood-destroying insects
• Gas certificate – if gas appliances are installed
• Electric fence certificate – if the property has electric fencing

The seller usually pays for and arranges these unless otherwise agreed. Find trades via the Midlands directory and keep your conveyancer copied.
