COC for property sales

**bergie** · 28-Jun-11, 08:24 AM

if you sell a car you dont need to provide a roadworthy certificate.the buyer can put the car on his name,but he wont get the disc until he supplies the rwc.
if you sell a smashed car,imagine having to roadworthy it first.

There is not a safety standard for a scrapped car.

I was thinking out loud how the CPA might have affected the COC requirements when selling a house. With it being the most recent legislation it might take precedent over existing legislation. I don't think the COC is addressed directly but there might be indirect implications from some of the 'fit for purpose' type clauses.

Part of the reason I've been a little less chirpy than usual of late is I'm taking a close look at this. I'll be sure to share any particularly pertinent observations once I've got the issues reasonably settled in my own mind.

dave maybe you should start a thread...to give us some tips to look out for or stop us from getting burnt.

i didnt mean a scrapped car. a damaged car that is still liscensed can be resold and put on the new owners name without a rwc.as i said they keep back the disc until you produce the rwc. i dont think there is a time limit to produce the rwc.

Back to willing buyer/seller. Nevermind the law or safety.
Article 16 has been buried since it was legislated,

what is most important is public awareness...public being the buyer and public being the seller .

it is about time the public was made aware of their rights when it comes to buyer and selling a property.

it is about time the person responsible for the electrical rules and regulations becomes more pro active in his public awareness programs...educating not only the public but everyone in the elctrical industry.

anyone know the persons name who is responsible for the electrical industry...the rules...sana code and the policing of it?

is the person or people responsible doing anything to improve the industry that i might not know about?

could it be that they are making progress but it is so slow that we dont see any improvement?

or i am i the one who needs to open my eyes and see what is happening around me?

If a clause is added to a contract all contradicting clauses should be removed to avoid complications. I am surprised buyers do not negotiate the price to ensure that they can get their own reputable electrician to certify their homes rather than accept what is supplied by the turd who gives the agent the biggest kick-back,
