certifications

The seller is generally responsible for providing the buyer of their property with Valid COC's or Certificates of Compliance.

Some of these certificates have been a requirement for many years, already, but some new ones have been added more recently.

COC Express(Pty)Ltd issues the following Certificates of Compliance (COC):

• Electrical Certificates of Compliance (COC):Domestic, Commercial & Industrial
• LP Gas Certificates of Compliance (COC): Domestic & Commercial
• Electrical Fence Certificates of Compliance (COC)
• Plumbing Certificates of Compliance (COC)

This means that all properties will normally require a minimum of two certificates and in some case as many as four(4) in order to effect a change of ownership.

Important information

Unfortunately, we do not receive any government sponsorship and the seller bears the cost of the inspections.

The inspection fees are a consultation fee payable upfront, before a Inspection is conducted and payable irrespective of the outcome of our inspection, whether the client excepts the quote on the compliance repairs or not.

The inspections have two possible outcomes, everything is clear and within regulation, if this is the case we will issue the certificate at no additional cost above the inspection fees.

Should the installation not be compliant or within regulation we will issue you a report, quote and photos within 72 Hours on the necessary rectifications.

At this point you may accept the quotation and we proceed with the rectifications and certificate issuance.

Or Decline the quotation and Opt for another company to handle the repairs and certification.

We do not  issue certificates on the work of other companies as it is also a guarantee of workmanship and material.

If you do decide to make use of another company please ensure that they are qualified and capable of issuing you with a certificate, they may also charge you an inspection fee, leaving you liable for two inspection fees.
