The Electrical Certificate of Compliance explained

[nemangwe]

I did provide the correct information and I have the emails to prove it. I have taken legal advice and my action is against the seller. The legal system works on signed contracts. The only contract I have is with the seller. I did not appoint the estate agent, I dd not appoint the transferring attorney and I most certainly did not appoint the electrician who issued the CoC. I also did not pay the R500 for the CoC and I did not give the "invalid" CoC to the transferring attorneys.
I trusted that the CoC would protect me.

Dave, as per you words
Arising from this complaint -
The member contractor that bought the pad from the ECA was approached by the ECA
The member contractor then tested the electrical installation at no charge to the complainant
The member contractor confirmed that the installation was not compliant and has produced a list of faults
All the above is true.

The member contractor has attempted to assist the complainant by contacting the non-member contractor
I don't know but find it hard to believe that he not reach the non-member who is a member of his family?

Relations between the member contractor and the non-member contractor have... let's just say "deteriorated" since.
This is true. I gave the member full access because I believed that he was here to give me a quotation to fix the problems. I have never received a quotation. The detailed report protected him and closed my business. I was still awaiting his quotation when he retracted his ECA certificate.

I trust that the ECA and/or DoL to take appropriate action to protect other buyers.
