So I did a job today on a recently purchased house. Something struck me as odd. I saw too many obvious faults that should have been sorted prior to a Coc being issued. I mean obvious.

I enquired from the client if they had received a Coc. Yes was their reply and they showed it to me.

It gets interesting. The seller is what I refer to as a "slimmitjie". He had an electrician fit a plug for him and got a Coc for that one extra plug fitted in the garage. He used that Coc for the transfer. This proves that the attorney did not read the test report where it clearly stated that the Coc was for the one added plug in the garage only. As long as they see a yellow form, they happy.

I suggested, the client take it up with his attorney.
