Western Cape COC Questions
Is a water certificate required everywhere in the Western Cape?
No. The City of Cape Town requires one on transfer. We found no equivalent rule in the water by-laws of Stellenbosch, Drakenstein, Overstrand or Swartland. Check with your conveyancer.
Is an electrical COC required everywhere?
Yes. The Electrical Installation Regulations are national. On a sale the COC may not be older than two years.
Do contractors charge travel outside Cape Town?
Some do. Ask for it as a separate line on the quote.
Towns and Suburbs
COC Certificate Cape Town is a free quote-comparison service, not a contractor and not the City of Cape Town or any regulator. Inspections, certificates and repairs are done by the independent contractors that quote you, and your agreement is with the contractor you appoint. Ask each one for proof of registration for the certificate you need, a written quote that separates the inspection fee from any repairs, and their payment terms.
