Your Offer Has Been Accepted – Now What?
| Once the seller has accepted your offer, your property professional will tie up any remaining issues. There are many small details that you will need to sort out before you can take ownership of your new home. Your property professional will take care of the finer points and loose ends. This means that you don’t need to hassle about them. You also don’t need to worry about surprises that disrupt the closing of the deal. They will make sure that the conveyancer receives all the paperwork from you and from the seller. The conveyancer is the attorney who does the transfer of the property. Your property professional will liaise with the conveyancer. They will find out how the transfer process is going and communicate with you. The property professional will make sure that the seller has an electrical certificate of compliance. This is commonly known as a COC. A qualified electrician must inspect the electrical installation to issue this certificate. A COC is essential for any electric fence installation. A gas compliance certificate is necessary if there is a gas installation. If you’re in KZN, you may need a borer beetle certificate. |
