Why it matters

Why the CoC matters

A CoC may only be issued by a registered, qualified person after a full visual inspection and comprehensive testing of the electrical installation. This ensures the installation is reasonably safe when properly used.

All hazards must be rectified before a valid CoC can be issued.

Issuing an invalid CoC is a criminal offence under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and may result in fines or even imprisonment. Working with a reputable, registered professional is essential.

What we assist with

Additional certificates you may need

Depending on your property, more than one certificate or test report may be required. These fall under different regulations and are not included in the standard Electrical CoC.

We ensure every installation is inspected, tested, compliant, and safe, giving you confidence and value for your money.

Seller's guide

Know the facts.
Sell with confidence.

An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is a legal document and a legal requirement when selling your property. It protects you, it protects the buyer, and it keeps the transfer process moving.

01 / 06

The two year rule

If no alterations have been done, your electrical CoC may not be older than two years to be used for the transfer of the property.

Solar systems

As per current regulation, solar systems require additional test reports.

Registered person only

Only a registered electrician may issue a CoC after inspecting and testing the installation.

Legal requirement

The CoC is a legal document. Providing false information or using an invalid CoC is a criminal offence.

Your responsibility

You as the seller are legally responsible for ensuring the electrical installation is compliant.

Smoother transfers

Having a valid CoC ready avoids delays and last minute negotiations, and can prevent the buyer from requesting a lower price.
