Good morning Sparks. What you say is true and I would like to add to your comment.
If the purchaser were to obtain and pay for a new COC at every point of purchase, regardless of the time period in between them, then this would negate the corruption.
It would be in his best interest to have it done correctly and the "grudge purchase" would fall away.
He could have it done before the offer, therefore having advanced knowledge of the forthcoming purchase.
He would have first hand contact with the electrician and therefore have the advantage of the guarantees.
He would take possession of the certificate and it wouldn't end up in file-13 in some lawyers office.
He would still be responsible for the electrical installation up until the point he sells it, whereupon the new purchaser begins the process again.
I believe this is how it is done elsewhere in the World.
To me it's a no-brainer
